Joseph Joseph 20085 Adjustable Rolling Pin - Multi-Colour

Product Information

First, unlike wood, a marble pin can be chilled in the fridge or freezer, which is ideal for working with temperature-sensitive laminated doughs like puff pastry or pie crust. Continue moving towards yourself a handful of times before repeating the rolling motion in the opposite direction. Given the size, we find the pin to be surprisingly light and lovely to hold, but for some it may be too long.

Tapered pins (known as biconical, French, or Italian rolling pins) are loved by pastry chefs and found in many professional kitchens. But if you need to make your dough longer or you want to roll your dough to a thickness not included with the discs, you can easily take the discs off and use the rolling pin without handles. The lighter pin may mean you'll have to do more work to roll your dough out, but it's easier to handle for those with reduced hand strength. Pros: It’s ideal for bakers who struggle to roll an even thickness to every edge or work with a lot of biscuit dough and doesn’t require any complicated faffing, adjusting or techniques.

Four carefully calibrated, adjustable discs screw on and off, changing the height of the roller from 2mm deep through to 10mm (there’s also imperial measurements). The dense wood is hand-polished three times, and finished with food-safe mineral oil to protect the pin from additional moisture and sticking to dough. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

It was great for rolling out larger doughs, since it covered more area, and it handled a dense pie dough with ease, thanks to the weight. They're very popular for holidays like Christmas, Easter and Halloween, and great for children to use. Because the lack of handles gives you more control over the pin and makes it easier to get a feel for the texture of the dough. She scrutinized all of them on everything from how comfortable the handles were to how easy they were to clean, to find the best rolling pins for you.When you roll your dough, the disc will keep the rolling pin elevated at the exact thickness you need. Imagine crafting cookies, pies, and breads with all the grace of a ballet dancer and none of the slip-ups. The pin is 48cm wide (one of the larger pins), but this includes the long handles, taking the actual roller down to a relatively short 24cm, which is still a manageable size for most tasks. Good Cook Classic Wood Rolling Pin: We tested this rolling pin, thinking that it might be a suitable option for a budget-friendly rolling pin.

A little bit of unevenness and imperfection is part of the charm of a homemade treat, but it can also cause things to burn or not cook evenly, which is not charming.Bought this to roll sugar paste/fondant thinner, but it's not wide enough to cope with an 8" cake + sides, ended up with the discs leaving marks in the fondant. The wood feels a little naked and raw, but, in time, will pick up a patina from the fat in the pastry. I'm afraid I'm going to snap these handles off," was the first thing our tester noted, and it didn't get better from there.

The density of the marble makes it cool enough to start rolling pastry straight from the drawer, and we find there is no need to cool it down further as it remains cold. No sticking, no fussing, just a swift wipe under the tap, and voilà, it’s as fresh as your first-ever batch of cookies. We love the colour of the silicone-covered roller and the three bands on the handles, which also make it supremely comfy to hold. Available in two thicknesses, the 2-inch-thick FRP-1 and the thinner FRP-2, this rolling pin is one of the longest on our list, measuring more than 20 inches.This is fine for those occasional uses, but the super-stiff handles mean I wouldn't be reaching for this as my everyday pin. If you are concerned, a quick wipe with an antibacterial cleaner is okay, but choose one without any perfume. Rolling pins are a kitchen essential for anyone working with dough, allowing you to get your pastry to the perfect size. They looked at other areas of the kitchen and decided to transform not only household essentials but to create innovative ideas for waste management and cleaning tools too.
