Bakers who prefer a rustic, handleless pin find this one to be ideal. It's the perfect length. And it's unfinished so that, over time, flour penetrates the wood's pores--making the pin less sticky than finished pins. --Fred Brack
Product Description
What do orchestra drummers and bakers have in common? Vic Firth tools of course! Vic Firth was a timpanist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra for nearly fifty years. For the past thirty-five years he has turned his attention to manufacturing the finest drumstick in the world. In keeping with his exacting standards, the same woodturning expertise is now being employed to produce peppermills and salt mills of the highest quality. More recently he has turned his attention to rolling pins. This lightweight cylinder is popular among chefs as an all-purpose tool. It's ideal for small jobs, such as rolling out individual pastry squares, or creamed cookie dough. Its small diameter keeps hands close to the dough for detailed work.

Perfect rolling pin for real baking December 23, 2007

I saw a rolling pin like this being used on the Julia Child Master Chefs series, used to make puff pastry. It was obvious that it did not have the drawbacks of rolling pins with handles, or the tapered ones that make it difficult to make even thickness in dough.
I had never successfully made puff pastry; it was too hard to work the dough properly. Just a rolling pin won't solve the problems, but this pin really made it easier: good control, just the right size and weight. Great for pounding dough or butter with a vengeance! Good, even thickness that makes it easier to get a consistent thickness in the dough. Feels good under the hands.
Also works great for pie pastry, pasta, anything I've tried.
Great product. Nothing flashy, no gadgetry, just a tried and true cooking tool.
