A French-style rolling pin is tapered, which gives you more maneuverability and control when pivoting the pin to create circles or specific shapes. Because it lacks handles, you can feel the dough's thickness directly through your palms, allowing for more precise adjustments.

Hand wash the rolling pin with warm water and mild soap, then dry it immediately with a towel. Never put it in the dishwasher, as the heat and water will cause the wood to warp or crack. Periodically applying a food-safe wood oil will keep the cherry wood hydrated and protected.

However, if you have a severe allergy, you may want to consult with your doctor or avoid use as a precaution.
