Every detail was carefully designed in our premium quality 100% stainless steel rolling pin from the brushed finish, to the slightly tapered shape to the perfect weight and feel. The French style rod design allows the full 15 3/4-inch length of the barrel to come in contact with dough. The 1.5-inch center diameter gradually tapers to 1.25 inches at the ends, allowing you to rotate smoothly without leaving lines in your dough or tortilla at the ends like a straight pin can. The rod shape of this French rolling pin transfers a sense of the dough thickness beneath your hands as you're rolling. At 10 oz, our rolling pin imparts just the right amount of weight to roll pastry dough, fondant, pie crusts, biscuits, tortillas & pizza dough perfectly. The hollow core design makes this professional rolling pin light enough, so it won't squash your dough. The brushed finish of this bakers rolling pin holds a dusting of flour better than mirror polished rolling pins. Chill it before using it & the cold stainless steel helps prevent dough from warming & melting the butter in your dough for pastries. If you decorate with rolled fondant, this is must-have tool for cake decorators. Food-safe stainless steel is hygienic and can be completely cleaned with no remaining food residue. It won't absorb any odors, colors or flavors that can cause cross contamination. This pin is rust-resistant. Clean up couldn't be easier with this dishwasher-safe rolling pin. Place the dough rolling pin in the dishwasher or wash by hand and towel dry. Unlike wood rolling pins, this tapered rolling pin won't dry out, splinter or crack, and it never needs oiling. And the seamless professional design means there are no crevices or handle joints for water or food to get into. It's kid friendly and safe for kids to use with play doh and crafts. We will email you a complimentary recipe ebook with your purchase of this stainless steel French rolling pin so you can bake like a pro for a lifetime.
