Home bakers, roll out! Grab the 21-inch teak wood French rolling pin and get to work with one of the most preferred gadgets of pastry chefs. French-style rolling pins have a distinct, tapered design compared to the straight dowels with ball bearings and end handles. The tapered design provides better weight distribution and control at every angle to flatten and work with the consistency of the dough of any size. At 21 inches, the long body maneuvers smoothly to achieve the desired thinness and diameter of pie crusts, handmade pasta, dumplings, and pastries. Natural-grained teak wood is not only beautiful to leave on your countertop, but it also provides durability and moisture resistance to help alter the taste and texture of the dough. A smooth wood exterior supports the easy transfer of the dough from a floured surface or pastry mat to a pie dish or baking sheet. Hand wash only. Do not soak in water to help prevent splitting. Occasionally apply a thin layer of oil when the teak wood feels rough and dry.
