Is this rolling pin better than a wooden French pin?

It is more durable and dishwasher safe, and it won't absorb odors or warp. Wood feels warmer and grips dough better, so some bakers still prefer it.

Can it go in the dishwasher?

Yes. The one-piece stainless steel construction is dishwasher safe, which most wooden pins are not.

Yes. You pivot the pin on its tapered ends to shape rounds, and the narrow ends give finer control over thickness.

No. It has no thickness rings or guides, so you judge thickness by eye or with spacers.

It is 18 inches long and 1.5 inches wide at the center, tapering toward both ends.

It can, more than to wood. Dust the pin and dough with flour and keep the surface dry.
