Is a marble rolling pin better than a wooden one?

Marble is heavier and stays cool, so it presses dough with less effort and helps keep butter-based dough firm. Wood is lighter and warmer but can absorb odors and needs more care.

Can it go in the dishwasher?

Yes, the pin is dishwasher safe. Hand washing with warm water also works and is gentler on the surface.

It is 12 inches long with a 1.5-inch barrel. That is shorter than many handled pins, so it suits smaller batches and tight storage.

Does it have handles?

No. It is a single-piece pin, so you grip the ends of the barrel directly.

Will it chip if I drop it?

Marble can chip or crack on a hard floor. Handle it carefully and store it where it will not knock against other tools.

What doughs is it best for?

Chilled doughs such as pie crust, tart shells, cookie dough and puff pastry. The cool weight helps keep the butter from melting.

Our take on the Koville Rolling Pin

The Koville Rolling Pin is a 12-inch marble pin with a 1.5-inch barrel and a dishwasher-safe finish. Marble is heavy, so it does much of the pressing for you and stays cool, which helps with pastry, pie dough and cookie dough. It is a single-piece pin with no handles, so you grip the ends directly. Against wooden pins it resists absorbing odors and is easier to clean, but it is heavier and can chip if dropped. It suits bakers who roll chilled dough often and want a low-maintenance tool.
