Norpro Rolling Pin

No, this rolling pin is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the nonstick coating and the integrity of the wooden handles, you should hand wash it with warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly.

Because the roller is designed to be chilled, you can place the entire pin in the refrigerator before working with sticky doughs like puff pastry or sugar cookie dough. The cold surface helps keep fats solid and prevents the dough from adhering to the barrel while you roll.

Yes, the integrated nylon ball bearings allow the barrel to spin independently of the handles. This creates a much smoother, more consistent roll and significantly reduces the amount of wrist strain you might experience during long baking sessions.

At 1.4 pounds, this rolling pin is lightweight and maneuverable, which makes it excellent for delicate pastries and cookies. If you frequently work with very stiff, heavy bread doughs that require significant force, you might prefer a heavier, solid wood French-style pin.

The total length of the rolling pin is 20 inches, which provides ample surface area for rolling out larger sheets of dough for pies or tarts.
