- Is this better than a French tapered pin?
- It depends on what you roll. The handles and long barrel suit pie crusts and cookie dough and are easier for beginners. A French pin gives more control and less weight for laminated dough and thin pastry.
- Can it go in the dishwasher?
- No. It is hand wash only. Wipe it clean, dry it right away and avoid soaking so the wood does not warp or crack.
- How should I care for the wood?
- Wash with a damp cloth and mild soap, dry immediately, and rub with food-safe mineral oil occasionally to keep it from drying out.
- Does it have thickness guides?
- No. There are no rings or guides, so use a ruler or rolling pin bands if you need an even thickness for cookies or pastry.
- What can I roll with it?
- Pie dough, cookie dough, biscuit and pastry dough, pizza dough and fondant all work. Very sticky doughs need extra flour to keep from sticking.
