KitchenAid Tapered French Rolling Pin vs KitchenAid Rolling Pin

Buy the tapered maple pin if you roll pastry, pie crust or pizza dough and want control: the tapered ends let you roll in short strokes and steer the dough, and maple is the classic material for that. Buy the nonstick handled pin if you want easy cleanup and a wide barrel for big batches of cookie or pie dough, and you like handles that keep your knuckles off the counter. Owners of wooden pins accept hand washing and occasional oiling; owners of nonstick metal pins report the coating eventually scratches if cut or scrubbed hard.

• Choose the KitchenAid Tapered French Rolling Pin if you bake pastry and want a light, one-piece maple pin you steer with your hands.
• Choose the KitchenAid Durable Nonstick Metal Classic Handled Rolling Pin if you want a wide nonstick barrel, offset handles and quick washing for larger batches.
