Unlike bamboo rolling pins that tend to splinter, this heavy weight pin features a smooth-to-the-touch stainless steel barrel that is heavier than the traditional wood pin allowing you to thin out the most stiffest and firm dough in a uniform format, yet offering the same cooling properties of marble stone rolling pins just without the heftiness. Great for large and small baking tasks, it’s perfect for rolling batches of biscuits, fondant, tortillas, pasta. Fits in most kitchen drawers without taking up too much space. Hand wash to clean.
