Best Quality- Rolling Pin Pink
![]() Price: $24.99 |
I used my Preds glass as a rolling pin. That actually DIDNT let me down.
Today I was given my first rolling pin and my first loaf tin. No more using a glass as a rolling pin or shapeless loafs of bread ;)

A guy shares her experience from the Riedel Wine Glass Workshop recently held at Rolling Pin Ktichen Emporium

im making apple pie.,.i dont have a rolling pin and im making the crust from a box..can i hand pat it? can i rol a glass over it to prostrate it?
depurate a bottle thoroughly, dry it, put a little flour on it (so it will not stick to the dough), use it as a rolling pin...
Ungainly, glass, plastic filled with water, marble, silicone, other?
Your experiences with different kinds, and advice on purchasing?
Acknowledge gratitude you!
Thank you, everyone, for your answers. I really appreciate all the feedback. It's helpful to see a variety of opinions.
Wood by all means is the overcome all around rolling pin. Check out americas test kitchen web site for their tests and results. I have 2 different wood rolling pins and preference each of them. I have a French rolling pin which is basically a large diameter dowel with tapered handles. I love it for pastas, camping and thiner rolling projects. I have a exemplar ball bearing household sized rolling pin I use for pie shells, some cookies and certain breads. I also have a large commercial sized rolling pin with ball berrings which I use for big projects like rolling out croissant dough. Brawny batches of pie dough, etc. The size differences make it easy to keep rolling of doughs even and less work when the right square footage is used for the job. I like large diameter handles on my rolling pins and made covers out of foam and pvc to slip over the handles of the 2 ball posture type of rolling pins. The French pin has large handles which you don't grip but roll under a flattened palm of each tender. The wood pins hold flour on them to keep the dough from sticking on them realy well. As for a cold rolling pin just pitch a wood pin in the fridge or freezer for 1 hour to chill. A marble pin tends to be heavy and has a tendency to thrust because dusting with flour does not hold on the pin as well as wood. The same goes for plastic or glass pins. I never use glass rolling pins because they are to frangible and can break easily. Wood pins handle rolling pins very well without digging deep into the pocket soft-cover, which can be a big factor for marble pins. I've seen marble 12" pins go for as much as $65.00 when a 12" wood pin can be rightful around $10.00 to $15.00. That is just my preferance and there are as many opinions as there are cooks and bakers. Find what you like best and go for it. An costly utinsel is no good if you never use it.

Test Kitchen tips: Rolling pins 101 Still other barrels (most of the time made from glass or metal) are often hollow so they can be filled with cold water or ice; these pins are also used to keep the dough chilled as it's rolled. Many rolling pins are made from a unmarried piece of wood or other |
