- Is this pin better than a handled rolling pin?
- For pastry and small batches, yes: it is light and you feel the dough through it. For stiff dough and large batches, a handled pin with bearings does more of the work.
- How do I keep the wood from cracking?
- Hand wash it, dry it straight away, and rub in a little food-safe mineral oil now and then. Never soak it or put it in a dishwasher.
- What can I roll with it?
- Pie and cookie dough, pasta, chapati and fondant. Its length suits a full sheet of pastry; very heavy bread dough is better with a heavier pin.
- Does it come with anything else?
- It is sold as the pin alone. There is no cover, stand or storage bag in the box.
- Will it fit in a standard kitchen drawer?
- At about 15.8 inches long, it fits most drawers laid diagonally, but check your drawer depth before buying.
- Where is the Unique Bargains Wooden Rolling Pin, 40.2 x 2.8cm cheapest?
- At Target, for $14.49, as of our latest check.
