This style of tapered rolling pin is far more useful than the conventional flat rolling pin for making pie doughs, pizza doughs, calzones, and other rolled out baked goods. The idea is that the tapered aspect of this rolling pin creates what I call a "dough front" which migrates around in a circle as you turn the dough and it is rolled. As you turn and roll the dough it maintains a consistant thickness as it is rolled out. This technique is not possible with a flat rolling pin. This kind of rolling pin greatly reduces the "cracking" of pie doughs associated with flat rolling pins.
Without getting into the mathematics of elasticity of substances, and the conversion of spheres into circles, I will just say that the tapered aspect of this rolling pin makes the conversion easier, more repeatable, and less prone to variable thicknesses of the final product. Combine this rolling pin with a board with sized circles and you are well on your way to becoming a super pie maker.
See a good cook book like "Cooks Illustrated" for more information.
This rolling pin is what is advertised, it was inexpensive, and of fine quality.
Sincerely,
Ira Carmel

After doing a quick check I discovered that I had collected no less than 12 rolling pins over the years!
Wood ones, metal ones, marble ones.....with handles, without handles....obsession?
But once I got my hands on this beauty, the remainder were thoroughly cleaned and dispatched to Goodwill.
If you do pastry or any baking needing a rolling pin....this is the one to have!

This rolling pin is small, light weight, and rolls dough out nice! I would recommend putting some oil on it, every now and then, to keep it looking nice.

I had one of these and I thought I lost it. (Actually thought the Ex took it.) Then, the very day after I ordered a replacement, I found mine tucked back in the far reaches of a cabinet. Anyway, the bottomline is that I like this very simple, very humble pin enough to seek out an exact replacement. Somewhere around here I've got a heavy stainless rolling pin, and another even heavier marble one. But, the roller I reach for is this basic hardwood tapered dowel. This thing isn't for everyone, but for my limited rolling pin needs, the humble tapered dowel is the thing to have.

I make 13" Margarita pizzas. This is the best rolling pin for that purpose. It is tapered and easy to rock left to right to shape the dough as you roll. This is the only pin I use. I've had my old one for many many years, lost it during moving, glad they still make this. I can't use any of the others.

I'd been using a cylindrical wooden rolling pin for a while. I got this on a lark. The difference in control is astonishing. I'm able to work dough so much finer with this puppy than I ever was with the cylindrical rolling pin. I'd recommend this to everyone.

This rolling pin is seriously awesome. I really only use it for pizza dough,but I can't say enough good stuff. Light, easy to control, big enough to do whatever... it is sweet.

I bought this rolling just before the holiday and cooked up a storm in pies. It is very light weight, no bulk and makes rolling pastry a breeze. I highly recommend it.

Great for tortillas
Good wood, perfect size, shape and taper. Does a fantastic job making flour tortillas thin and round. It's a good idea to oil this pin lightly prior to use.
