Rolling out proper pie crusts that are both tender and flaky is a snap with this pin. Tapered from the middle to both ends, it rolls out dough thinly by pushing it from the middle. And it rotates easily around the dough for making perfect circles--a virtue for pizzas, also. It's unfinished so that, over time, flour penetrates the wood's pores--making the pin less sticky than finished pins. --Fred Brack

Sometime you just have to get back to the basics. Sometimes, it's the simplest design that works the best. Sometimes, all those fancy, additional features offered are just not worth it.
I think that this is the perfect example. This rolling pin is so simple, so basic - yet so perfect. The price is perfect too. It does the job. Period. It's light, beautiful, easy to clean, easy to store, not big and bulky. I think that it is absolutely perfect and I cannot find any faults to it. There are a lot of options when it comes to rolling pins and now they even make silicone ones that won't stick to the dough. I think those are excellent products as well. But I'm a little more traditional and here is a very beautiful and simple wood one...and in this case, I prefer the wood to the silicone. Maybe because making bread items is so basic and so traditional...so the wood in this case just "fits" into the whole feel better. If I were to splurge though, I'd have both in my kitchen...even though I see no need for two pins - I did say "splurge".

Much easier to use than traditional rolling pin because instead of gripping the handles, your handles glide over the top making rolling much less effort. The tapered thin rolling pin enables me to have more control over the thickness of the dough. I can press down hard or use a light hand.

The other reviewers are quite right that this pin will get your pie dough smooth and round without all the fuss you are accustomed to. However, you will truly feel tears of joy and gratitude welling up in your eye sockets the first time you roll out a batch of tortilla dough with this handsome little devil. Hallelujah!!! Nothing is more embarrassing than presenting your guests with unshapely flatbreads (burnt because you toiled so long on each that the previous one was neglected on the griddle). This beauty gets it done with speed, dignity, and a touch of sass.

Great Pin
I've had this rolling pin for quite sometime and I have been very happy with it. I honestly use it anytime I need a rolling pin even when it's for heavier duty rolling.

The rolling pin we received was not a Vic Firth. Instead Red Arrow sent us a cheap Winco knockoff. You will see them advertised elsewhere on Amazon for less than half the price... Read more

Must Have for the Serious Baker
This is a wonderful rolling pin. It is smooth and dough sticking is minimal. Its performance is awesome allowing complete control over how much pressure is applied and where.

Very Nice
Great rolling pin. I have used this many times, but can't seem to roll as well without handles. That doesn't reflect on the quality of this pin, however. It is great quality.

Perfect
For those who use the old fashioned rolling pins, try a french rolling pin! You have better control and can shape your dough much easier.

I have used this rolling pin a few times making pizza crust and tortillas. It did seem to work better than my straight pin as far as making circles. Read more
