Norpro Springerle Rolling Pin

No, this rolling pin is not dishwasher safe. Because it is made of natural wood, you should wipe it clean with a damp cloth and dry it thoroughly immediately after use to prevent warping or cracking.

This pin is designed for firm, non-rising doughs that hold their shape well, such as traditional Springerle, shortbread, and ginger snap recipes. If your dough is too soft or contains too much leavening, the intricate patterns may lose definition during baking.

The total length of the rolling pin is 16 inches, with the patterned barrel portion measuring 10 inches long and 1.5 inches in diameter. This size offers a good balance of coverage for standard cookie sheets.
