Primitives by Kathy Floral Embossing Rolling Pin

This pin works best with firm, non-sticky doughs like shortbread, sugar cookie dough, or stiff fondant. Avoid using it on doughs with high leavening agents or sticky ingredients, as they may lose the embossed detail during baking.

No, this rolling pin is not dishwasher safe. The high heat and moisture of a dishwasher can cause the natural beech wood to warp, crack, or lose the definition of the floral pattern.

To clean, gently scrub the grooves with a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth immediately after use. Avoid soaking the wood in water, and ensure it is completely air-dried before storing it away.

While not strictly required, applying a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner before your first use can help seal the wood and prevent dough from sticking. Reapply occasionally to keep the beech wood in good condition.

Apply firm, even pressure as you roll across your dough. It is often helpful to roll over the dough once with a standard rolling pin to get your desired thickness before using the embossing pin to create the pattern.
