Andrew Pearce French Rolling Pin

A French tapered rolling pin offers superior tactile feedback and control. Because you hold the barrel directly, you can feel the consistency of the dough as you roll, making it easier to achieve an even thickness for delicate pastries and pasta.

This rolling pin is not dishwasher safe. Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth after use and dry it immediately. To maintain the wood's integrity and prevent drying, occasionally apply a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner.

Both cherry and walnut are excellent, durable hardwoods for baking tools. The choice is primarily aesthetic: cherry tends to be lighter with a warm, reddish hue, while walnut offers a richer, darker tone. Both will perform identically in terms of weight and rolling precision.

While the wood is finished with a food-safe oil, it is not a non-stick surface. We recommend lightly dusting the pin with flour before use to prevent dough from adhering, especially when working with high-hydration recipes.

Yes, the solid hardwood construction provides enough natural weight to flatten stiff doughs without requiring excessive force. The 20-inch length also provides ample leverage for larger batches.
