Five Star Reviews: | 81% Excellent March 26, 2017 Cant beat the simplicity of this rolling pin. I originally had a large fancy rolling pin which was made of marble and wood. It was so heavy and nearly useless.Instead, this rolling pin works great and I could not be any happier. I guess there is a reason a lot of the cooking videos on youtube show the same style of pin. Americas test kitchens best! March 22, 2017 I got this rolling pin for my partner who wanted to throw the old one away right away because this was the best rolling pin. It is tapered, and easy to clean. It got best rolling pin from americas test kitchen. Yearly Purchase !!!!!!!!!!! January 10, 2017 Purchased this pin to make pies, crust, breads, muffins, cookies and pot pies mainly. Have not got around to it yet because of other important matters like busy schedule. Anyway, the pin arrived in sealed plastic with no seam, of course, in a box. I was thoroughly pleased because after opening, holding pin in hand, it feels light like an old wooden broom. There was no nicks, stains or tears in excellent condition. Will be using for the rest of my life time and highly recommend !!!!!!!!!!! I really love this item July 19, 2015 I really love this item. I got it some months back, apprehensive about getting a solid wood rolling pin, but I have no regrets.I had been using a metal non-stick, but found that the non-stick made certain tasks more difficult. This is really an excellent choice for pastries or dough.I keep mine maintained washing with warm water only, drying immediately, and using a cutting board oil once a month or so depending on usage. I don't oil it enough to be greasy, just enough to keep the wood from getting too dry.For anyone who is hesitating to buy a French rolling pin, don't, just get one and enjoy it. Superb, now looking for shorter one January 24, 2013 J.K. Adams FRP-1 Maple French Rolling PinI have been using the straight ones and the ones with handles for a while, but IMHO curvy (tapered) pins and this one in particular are a lot more convenient to use.With the handles, the pin might not roll when you need it to, and more pressure might get your work-of-art slide here and there sometimes.With the straight pin, everything's fine except that you still need to manually adjust the rough edges especially on shortcrust dough.With tapered pin, and with the appropriate technique using the ends in an oblique and 1/4 of a circle motion, rounding standard 28 cm crusts is a breeze.Measurement of center straight (not tapered) section: 20.5 - 2 x 5.5 = 9.5 inches. Seems short on paper, but no problem on the job, great for rounding edges in fact, with a smooth angle.Order, delivery, finish (surface) were perfect. Using it mostly for shortcrust pastry, beating up the kids and the butter for puff pastry.... just kidding, I'm using a pizza peel for the kids :-)I was on the hunt for an identical but shorter length item. I found (and bought) an 11 inches bamboo one, not tapered, but does the trick for tartlets and Asian dough wrapped goodies.So much for a piece of wood, you wouldn't believe.P.S.: Looks like the kids joke tanked with some readers, LOL! Check the comments ... Works Effortlessly (once you get the hang of it) January 5, 2013 This was my 1st time using a French-style rolling pin. It took a little getting used to, but once you understand how to apply pressure outward as you roll in a circular motion, you can roll out a pie or pizza crust effortlessly. I had the technique pretty much figured out by the end of the 1st pie crust I made with it, so I would say the learning curve is pretty shallow.I would suggest hand washing if you use it regularly and get some food-grade mineral oil (also available here on Amazon) and I would expect this to last for many years. If you wash it in the dishwasher I would apply the mineral oil every time. | 83% LOVE June 8, 2017 I love, love, love this rolling pin. I feel giddy whenever I am thinking about rolling out some dough and then I remember that I have this new rolling pin. I have only used it about 4 or 5 times since I got it and I have no complaints whatsoever. Beautiful rolling pin May 31, 2017 Beautiful rolling pin. Mine also had the label on it. I picked what I could off, then I rubbed the remainder with a paper towel with vegetable oil and it came off nicely. The perfect rolling pin. High quality, easy to use and a nice wide length. March 12, 2017 The perfect rolling pin. High quality, easy to use and a nice wide length. I was looking for a good pin that works on both noodles and pizza dough. this fits the bill! Not so long it does not fit in a kitchen drawer. The Right Tool For the Job November 28, 2016 As the saying goes, "you need the right tool for the job" This rolling pin is exactly what I wanted and needed to making rolling doughs easier and with better results. It feels great under my hands when rolling and I get good, even pressure with not a lot of effort. It did take a little practice to get used to not having handles, but not much. The surface of the wood is smooth, but still has enough texture to hold a dusting of flour when needed. This is going to be an important tool in my kitchen, making lots of delicious sweet and savory treats, while also helping to make memories for many, many years to come. It may even one day be handed down to my kids and/or grandkids, it's that well made! Love it! One Good Purchase. December 15, 2015 I had always used a standard roller (roll in the center and handles on each end) before purchasing the J.K. Adams roller. All I can say is WOW!I found it so much easier to roll the dough out. The 19" width provides plenty of roller to easily go in all directions and being able to place my palms on the roller (instead of trying to grip two small handles) seems to provide much more control of the dough thickness. I have already used it 6 time for holiday cookies and will be using it some more.VERY happy with this product. 8 stars! February 14, 2015 I am a professional baker and use this rolling pin everyday. I make and roll out bread dough, pizza dough, pastry crust, etc, and this pin has been luxurious to use. First of all, it's heavy, which means you won't need to exert too much force. Secondly, it's made from pure maple and has enough nooks and crannies in the wood grain to be beneficial for retaining enough flour to roll out dough and not stick. Thirdly, unlike tapered rolling pins this one is like a dowel in that it's all flat surface. Lastly, the flat ends are great for smashing nuts. Love it! | 85% Just what I was looking for! July 26, 2017 I've seen this Oxo tool on many different cooking shows on TV. I looked in various big department stores for it, plus a famous kitchen store, but no one had it, so I ordered it from Amazon. It came in the mail yesterday, and I was very surprised how thick and heavy duty the stainless steel scraper is! There's even an inches scales engraved into it!! This will make my life so much easier, as I do a lot of cooking at home. The handle is heavy duty also. I'm always cutting up something, and using the back of a knife to try to scrape up onions, garlic, carrots, celery, etc, was time consuming. I can't wait to use this scraper when I make dinner tonight!! Strong and Sturdy and Perfect! June 2, 2017 it is larger than I thought. That is not a problem, but just bigger than I imagined, even though I read the dimensions, I didn't realize it. But it is great!. It is sturdy and strong metal. The handle is soft and non slip. It is perfect for baking or for scooping up chopped vegetables. Note: it is not flexible. If you were hoping for a flexible one to scoop in or out of bowls, then get a plastic one. This is very solid, sturdy, and strong. Great puchase and a must for all who do lots of cooking and need to scoop vegetables or for those who do lots of baking. Favorite gadget! September 21, 2016 My favorite kitchen gadget ever. I used the crap out of this thing, and have been whining at my family to get me a new one since I moved 6 months ago. No joke, I love this thing. It is fantastic for anyone into baking or candy making. Keep it mind it has zero flexibility, so think of it as a cutter, as a ruler, and as a scraper, but just not if the job calls for a flexible scraper. When I mix in hot sugar for candy, I like these, because I can get the most off of the surface. I also love it when I'm trying to get my dough precise. Very nice product, and a great multi-tasker January 23, 2015 Works great. I always get set with the task of doing all the knife work in my kitchen, so I spend a lot of time at the cutting board, and I really like this little guy. Makes clean up very fast, and you're able to get everything into the bowl very quickly without messing around. It also acts as a very nice dough cutter when baking as well! And lastly, it also has length measurement marking along the blade so you can measure your cuts. A very handy kitchen multitasker. Good quality construction. I see us having this product for a very long time. Recommended For Bread and Pie Crust February 5, 2014 I bought this on a whim, and now find that I can't do without it when making bread and pastry. As an engineer, I'm very careful (my kids say loony) about wanting everything a uniform size. I make large batches of pie crust dough, and weigh it, and then use this to cut it into exactly even pieces. Likewise, when I'm making yeast rolls, I use a scale to divide my batch of dough in half, and then use this cutter to cut off pieces which are exactly 2 ounces. It's much easier than wrestling with your dough. The handle at the top of this chopper is very large and feels soft, although it's really hard plastic. It feels good in the hand, and works well either left- or right-handed. Finally, when cleaning up the counter after making pie crust, yeast bread or anything which involves slinging lots of flour around, this is wonderful for scraping it up without marring the counter, and it's large enough to hold a lot of flour and remove it from the counter. OXO makes good quality items, and this one is quite useful. | 80% I just love this light July 31, 2017 I just love this light, streamlined, perfectly engineered bench scraper (prior I had no idea one could love a bench scraper). It has a lovely look as well as feel, and even features a 6" ruler on its cutting edge. Buy it. It should last forever. I consider it the best on the market, and my favorite tool in the kitchen. Love this tool June 18, 2017 No decent (or indecent) cook should be without this handy tool! I use this utensil any time I need to scrape, chop, slice or cut. Solves the problem of scooping chopped vegetables all at once and dumping into the pan. It fits easily behind my cutting board out of sight until I need it. I've even used the edge to measure and cut brownies! Awesome! Great help in preparing meals August 16, 2015 This is a good quality piece of kitchen implement. If you don't have one, you will enjoy using it. BUT, if you don't already use a scraper, you may have to change your current habits. If you are like me, you can forget you have it, leave it in the drawer and miss the benefits of its assistance in preparing meals. It took me awhile to learn to stop using my hands to move food from the cutting board to pans and use the scraper instead. It's much faster. Enjoy. Stainless Steel Scraper February 3, 2014 I had earlier bought a plastic scraper, but it's curved, I guess for a bowl and doesn't work on a flat surface. This stainless steel Norpro scraper is very simple in construction and sturdy enough so it won't warp for my purpose which is to scrape up dough from the work surface during bread making. There is a bevel made on the back of the long edge which makes it more effective. The back is completely flat which stores nicely. I like the one piece construction, easy to clean and even drop in very hot water to kill leftover yeast. I read some reviews that commented on the paint in the ruling, so I'll have to see, no big deal to scour away. I don't see this as a chopping tool for veggies regardless of the sales blurb, but it's sharp enough to cut dough into general pieces. This is the BEST! June 20, 2009 This is the best Scraper/Chopper ever. It scrapes up dough sweetly on my granite counter top. I also have used it to scoop up mixed chopped veggies on my wooden cutting board. It's a lovely versatile scraper. I especially love the health aspects of it being stainless steel, it is much better then anything with a plastic or wooden handle. This is so convenient, I use it all the time now. It looks fantastic and functions even better! It cleans up super easy with a little dish soap, hot water and then I just wipe it dry! The measurements on the side are nice when I am cutting certain veggies to keep them all uniform. Really a terrific product for every kitchen and the service from the seller was amazing. It arrived super quick and in no time it was washed and being used in my kitchen! | 87% There are no reviews yet |

Four Star Reviews: | 13% Very useful June 5, 2017 Good handy rolling pin but doesn't hold flour that we'll so dough sticks if you're not careful. Easy to clean. Kind of large, so could be difficult to store - this won't fit in a standard utensil drawer. Not cheap, but quality that seems worth it. March 13, 2017 Nice pin. I have very thick fingers and this makes roll outs much easier. My knuckles don't hit the dough nearly as much since I can cup the handles and still have plenty of control.The straight pin I ordered had a sticker that was IMPOSSIBLE to get off without damaging the pin. This one just slide right off. It's a great rolling pin September 7, 2016 It's a great rolling pin. The only thing that was bothersome is that the barcode sticker was on the surface that you roll on so you have to scrub and make sure you get off all of that stickiness but otherwise it is a great rolling pin. Good all around rolling pin April 11, 2016 I have been wanting a French rolling pin for a while now. I love to bake bread and one of my favorite recipes is a classic white loaf that is rolled out and then rolled up to form a loaf. This pin does a great job with my bread dough. It's very easy to control, and comfortable. The ends of the pin has the tool marks where it was attached to a wood lathe. They are noticeable so if that bothers you you might want to spend more on a more refined model. It doesn't bother me, in fact I like it because it looks like it's well made. Good rolling pin overall, hope to get many years use out of it Great February 20, 2016 If you look at professional bakers, so many of them prefer a French rolling pin. I was in Canada for the summer and in desperation, because my boyfriend didn't own a rolling pin, I used a drinking glass to roll out pastry for apple pies. Somewhat of a disaster. Then I purchased a regular wooden rolling pin. Mistake. The one I had used for years was made of marble. Extremely heavy and not easy to use (leave it too long in one place and you have nearly clear dough, for example) but I loved it. But I took a chance on the French rolling pin. It was under ten bucks, and boy, am I ever a convert. In fact, I have purchased a second one for my main home because I left the other one at my summer home in Canada. This pin takes a bit of getting used to, but it is so much more versatile. There is only one drawback; it is quite long (check the measurements), so make certain you have cupboard space, LOL! Great Control November 19, 2015 This rolling pin makes rolling out doughs fast and easy and gives great control. You can use a pastry pin sleeve so doughs don't stick to your pin. I have another high-end marble rolling pin I've had for years, but find I prefer this one with the sleeve, as the dough doesn't stick and you get better control. Only gave it four stars because, as some others stated, I needed to fine sand it to keep the sleeve from catching. If you're not going to use a sleeve, then I don't think this will be an issue. However, it was only a minor one and I'd still purchase this again. | 11% Classic chef's pin. June 12, 2017 This is pretty nice but needed a bit of touch up sanding. Not a lot to say about a hardwood dowel but its well turned. good for most things June 4, 2017 hard to roll pizza dough with but great for softer dough or light cookies Has a nice Heft to it...Needs a bit of fine Sanding but Very Pleased with Quality! :) January 31, 2017 I love the heft of this Rolling Pin, and the quality of the Maple is wonderful! It needs some fine sanding, but that's not a problem. It's real wood, so that's to be expected! Highly recommend this product to other lovers of baking! :) Works Well November 14, 2014 I bought this Rolling Dowel because it was recommended by ATK. I like the size and the weight of it. It works much better than the French style rolling pin because of the weight and the length, but given a choice, I would still go back to the old-fashioned rolling pin with handles. I suppose it's because I grew up using that style and feel like I have better control of the dough. This would be my second choice. It's quality. January 12, 2014 Ok, this is really just a big fat dowel and if you can find a maple dowel with at least a 3.5" diameter in HomeDepo, by all means, buy it and cut that yourself. But this is quality maple and does a much better job at rolling out pasta than the traditional 'handled' rolling pins. I think it was worth it. | 11% Useful and Well Made. December 17, 2016 Heavier handle than I'm used to, but a fine utensil. When you need one - nothing else will do. In the catering firm we always called it a "bus", probably because it transported food from one place to another (quite apart from its relationship to dough). It's a nice product, though being old fashioned, I still prefer the one with the pearwood handle. Nice quality with some reservations and unfortunately like most everything it is unfortunately made in China. April 20, 2016 I like this scraper although I agree with America's test kitchen on PBS where they did not rate this as their favorite because the handle is so wide that you cannot get it close enough to the counter for use in some scraping preparation work but other than that I like the quality of the product other than the fact that like most products it unfortunately is made in China. Why didn't I get one of these before? January 13, 2016 I got this after reading Kenji Lopez-Alt's "The Food Lab". Then I made chili to fill 2 Dutch ovens, and the prep was a lot more efficient because of this tool. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is a storage issue. I want to keep it out near my cutting board, but can't figure out a sensible way to store it there. If there was a hole in the handle, I'd put a hook on the wall. Does anyone know: can I drill a hole in this? Is it solid plastic except for the blade, or is it a plastic layer over a core material? Excellent bench scraper January 4, 2015 This product surely does not need another review, but here goes anyway. I use it exclusively as a bench scraper for moving flour around a baking bench, cleaning the bench, and dividing dough. I don't use it as a chopper; I don't use it to scoop diced vegetables off a cutting board (there are better tools for that); I just use it as a classic bench scraper. It works very well for that purpose. One reviewer was concerned that the scraper is not flexible. A bowl scraper should be flexible but a bench scraper should not be, so that is simply not an issue. The handle is not made of exotic wood, just hard rubber, but it is comfortable, non-slip, and sturdy. I wash it by hand as a matter of habit, so whether or not it is dishwasher safe is not an issue for me. I have seen prettier bench scrapers, and I like the look of a wooden handle, but this is a cost-effective high quality item that should last indefinitely. | 12% Good scraper July 18, 2017 I use it as just a scraper. Doesn't seem sharp enough to chop without mutilating. Pretty good but with a little extra care in manufacturing, it would be perfect. August 5, 2015 I haven't actually used the one I received yet, but I am sure it will serve it's purpose very well. I did use some fine sandpaper to remove the sharp edges from when the metal was press cut into shape, not on the sides but at the end of the blade. It would have scratched the cutting board, now it won't. Four stars - almost perfect May 31, 2015 This little scraper is really handy for scooping and scraping. I don't find it sharp enough to replace a knife for any real chopping or cutting (although it might if you sharpen it like some of the reviews mentioned), but it works great to divide soft stuff like dough or even cut fats into flour where a blunt blade does the job. The scraper feels really solid and sturdy. The stainless steel is quite substantial and does not warp with use. The bottom edge is beveled to make it sharper for scraping and cutting, but the corners and other edges are slightly rounded/polished for safety. The rolled over handle can get a little slippery if your hands are wet or oily, but I'm happy to put up with it in exchange for the 1 piece solid steel construction (no pieces to break off, no crevices for gunk to get stuck in!). I also appreciate how the rolled handled means that there is one flat side to this scraper - it makes it easier to store and to use it as a giant spatula. The only thing which I dislike is that the brand and the measurement markings are printed, rather than etched into the metal. Even worse, they're not even printed well - the markings definitely look like they'll disappear after a few washings or contact with sticky dough or any sort of fats. Perhaps this isn't a bad thing as the ruler markings are slightly off-center (so the "0" is not at the edge), which I find irksome. tl;dr - This is a sturdy multi-use kitchen tool for scooping, scraping, and any blunt edge "cutting", but it would be even better if the printed markings were etched instead. Wonderful Multi-purpose Tool! February 3, 2014 I love this tool and only regret I did not get it sooner. It is invaluable for dividing dough and transporting chopped foods from the cutting board to another destination. I was surprised to find how quickly I have come to rely on it as a bench scraper, and as a result my kitchen counter remains a more effective work area during major chopping events or after rolling out or forming dough. The fact that it's stainless steel and easily cleaned means you can quickly move from one application to another. I now keep it standing on its side on the counter at all times, ready for action. Get one of these; you will love it! I have deducted a star because the "tape measure" washed off the first time I scrubbed this otherwise wonderful tool. I hope it was FDA-approved ink, because some of it probably ended up in my pizza crust. There was no stamping in the metal, so as soon as the ink was gone it was like it had never been there. I would have enjoyed using that feature, but still love this tool for its main purpose. Does the job October 30, 2013 This stainless steel scraper works for its intended purpose. I wouldn't rely on it being a good chopper, however. I use it to cut dough in half, but it would not work as well if you needed to chop vegetables or meat for a stir fry. It definitely would not take the place of a knife. It's a great bargain and the 6 inch measurement on the side is helpful. I would recommend it. | 8% There are no reviews yet |

Three Star Reviews: | 3% Great pin, terrible sticker September 30, 2017 Rolling pin is great BUT the sticker is TERRIBLE. These guys certainly could have ponied up the extra 2 cents to get a decent sticker for their rolling pin but instead show us that their rolling pin is worth so little respect that it gets the worst, most ragged, hard to remove sticker possible. Would not buy again simply because of the sticker. Pin June 15, 2017 Wanted to love this. Not a fan of the tapered ends. Bought the evenly round steel pin instead and I'm happy with that purchase Product itself is fine but it comes with a label that is hard ... May 3, 2016 Product itself is fine but it comes with a label that is hard to get off, very annoying.It's amazing how many vendors go to the trouble to make a good product and then stick any old label on it. Yeah, mineral oil and all of the usual steps get rid of the label but why should I have to do that? I should have just returned it. I make pizza crust often and probably will order the non tapered 19 in pin from this same manufacturer as I like the workmanship January 18, 2016 It's okay but not what I was looking for. I was wanted more rolling space but the tapered handles take away quite a bit of the actual rolling surface. I make pizza crust often and probably will order the non tapered 19 in pin from this same manufacturer as I like the workmanship. Great item, but it doesn't fit in my drawers ... January 18, 2016 Didn't realize how LONG this is! Great item, but it doesn't fit in my drawers or cabinets. Good shape, rough surface November 2, 2015 The weight and shape of this pin are good, but I expected the surface to be much smoother. It's a bit rough. I've only used it a few times, but even with flour, my dough sticks to the roller in spots. My old cylinder type with handles had a very smooth finish and I never had a problem with sticking, even after many years. I feel like I have to examine this one for splinters. I'm going to try sanding it with very fine paper. I've added a photo to show the surface. | 3% Glue from sticker leaves mark. Sticker difficult to remove ... July 20, 2017 Glue from sticker leaves mark. Sticker difficult to remove. Dowel not very smooth will probably leave little slivers of wood in dough. The sticker does have Made in USA. The item description says; Origin China so maybe the wood is from China Three Stars December 31, 2016 This is a solid rolling pin. However, it takes sometime to get used to rolling with no handles. Almost Too Dented and Dinged Up to be Useful August 24, 2016 A nice concept with a great 2" chunky diameter and a great length for making soba noodles and other large shoots, but poorly executed. Mine arrived with significant dings and divots in it, which now get reflected in my dough and present an extra cleaning challenge. Do not expect a nice smooth surface, or anything close to it, based on my experience. Sanding Required August 30, 2015 This is my second J.K Adams rolling pin. The first one was a tapered model and I did not need to sand the rolling pin. The weight on this one I think will be what I need and it will work great once I sand the rolling pin with fine sandpaper. The rolling pin was not smooth when I received it and I thought of returning it but I think with fine sandpaper, I will get the rolling pin in great shape to roll out dough. Not sure what happened to this one. Very good. April 13, 2013 This roller was just as advertised. However, I wish it had some kind of a finish on it. I use mineral oil and it worked ok. It felt as though it was cut, sanded, and sent. Love the size and weight. I would probably buy it again. Effective but a bit hard to handle February 5, 2013 I got this on the advice of ATK. It does its job and rolls out dough nicely enough. I find its size to be too large for me though, and probably should have gone w/ a model with tapered ends. Might be because have smaller hands, but for me it's just too bulky | 3% A little too small, but works fine. June 27, 2016 Was surprised to see how small it was. It's on the small side, but does the job. Does OK. Certain doughs do stick very badly though ... December 7, 2015 Does OK. Certain doughs do stick very badly though. Next one I buy will be made of silicone so things won't stick. Very sturdy, The handle is a little too beefy for ... September 2, 2015 Very sturdy, The handle is a little too beefy for my personal taste when I'm doing many veggies for canning for example. Quality is GREAT though. depends on what you want to use it for..... January 23, 2015 Great scooping knife and scraper for butcher block which is exactly what I purchased it for. The knife itself is dull, dull, dull hence why I rated it only 3 stars. | 5% Description is inaccurate January 8, 2016 I'm returning this scraper simply because the description is not accurate. It is listed as being 6 inches in length, but when I held it up to a ruler, it is actually about 5 3/4 inches long. It may be a quality scraper but the description is definitely wrong. So-So...Probably Wouldn't Recommend January 7, 2016 So, I'm a little mixed on this....the product seems fairly sturdy and exactly what I expected to be with the exception of two details. Firstly, the number five on the measurement area is wearing off (and was that way straight out of the packaging as I only received it yesterday). Secondly, there's itty bitty pitting across the entire scraper. I've included pictures with my review so you can see what I'm talking about to decide if the pitting would affect what you're planning on using this scraper for. For me, one of the uses that I bought this for is for smoothing the sides of my cakes that I decorate. I'm pretty sure this won't result in smooth sides for me whatsoever. However, if you're using it as a chopper or scraper and only the blade area of the chopper is going to be used, it seems pretty sturdy and like it would chop well. Ultimately, it would depend on the use it's intended for but regardless, I just think pitted metal is disappointing from a quality standpoint. I would opt for one without markings on the front December 4, 2014 Works well for moving chopped veggies around, and portioning dough. But the "chopper" description is ridiculous - there's no way you could chop anything with this. Also, I found after using it to scrape some pie dough off parchment paper, that the black measurements on the front began to peel off and embed itself into my pie dough. Hopefully ingesting it is not harmful, because I thought it was leftover herbs until I washed this and noticed half the lines were missing! Kind of disappointed about that and the black measuring marks on it ... July 21, 2014 I bought this because it said it was Made in the USA but when it arrived it said Made in China on it. Kind of disappointed about that and the black measuring marks on it were already rubbing off. I thought they were etched into the steel.but they are not. It still works. markings come off January 8, 2014 I use this as a scoop to get cut up herbs into a pan, and also to cut dough. It works well for both of those tasks. My problem with it is the Norpro logo and ruler markings. At first, i thought the ruler was a great idea, but after a few uses/washes, the markings have completely come off. Honestly, if it had never had them in the first place, I wouldn't miss them, but it kind of sucks that they came off. | 2% There are no reviews yet |

Two Star Reviews: | 2% stupid manufacturer puts bar code label on wood with super ... September 11, 2017 stupid manufacturer puts bar code label on wood with super type glue. You will have to buy label remover or sand off the label as wet wiping only leaves scabs of paper to be rolled into your dough. How stupid to not use other method or easy remove label. This make user spend time over labels instead of using the pin . Bad business and bad mojo for an easy thing like a rounded piece of wood. Will one day buy larger pin but from another supplier that sees a better way to mark the product with out all the work to remove label put directly on the wood pin. These guys found a way to f up a piece of wood, GESH! better buying else ware i am sure. Everything sticks to it because it's a raw wood surface April 9, 2017 I like it's style, but everything sticks to it. Wish it has a nonstick surface. This rolling pin is angled so you can only roll ... March 28, 2016 This rolling pin is angled so you can only roll out a flat surface in the middle I guess I should've noticed that before purchasing but I had a hard time using it as opposed to a regular or old-fashioned rolling pin that is just the same size all the way around The finish on this pin is such that it feels like it needs sanding and clear coat..its splintery. >.< December 31, 2015 It is bigger then I expected but when the finish on it feels like little splinters all over I am sending it back the finish is terrible. Now I am new to baking breads so it may be the way it should but I just could not even get past the texture. If you hate the feeling of paper or wood after your hands are wet this is not for you. So I could not even try it on the bread dough to see if the prickly texture stuck to the dough sorry. Splintery Nick in the wood December 1, 2015 The main part of the rolling pin is fine - nice and strong and smooth. However, when it arrived, it had a pea-sized nick at the end - the opposite end of the logo stamped on the end. Since it'll be used with bare hands, we'll have to figure out a way to sand it out. I'd return it, but it's for a pre-Christmas birthday gift. Since the nick is near a flaw in the wood, I'm certain it's not due to handling. I am not too impressed with the craftsmanship, or at least the quality control. | 2% Not smooth June 18, 2017 I bit disappointed as the rolling pin is not smooth like my other ones. There are some big rough patches on this one. Im afraid tiny pcs will get into the dough.Need a replacement. I dont feel its right that i have to pay to ship it back for your defect. ... pie maker and think a roller with handles would better suit me December 27, 2016 I'm a beginner pie maker and think a roller with handles would better suit me. Marked as "dowel" on package. This is not a rolling pin. December 27, 2015 This is not a rolling pin at all. The wood is rough and everything sticks to it. Would not recommend or buy again. Can't remove barcode sticker residue October 28, 2015 It works as advertised but I've tried everything to remove the residue left by the barcode stick that was directly on the rolling pin. The product arrived in a plastic sleeve in a box, so why couldn't the barcode sticker be placed on the sleeve instead? Be warned that this makes about 2 inches on one end unusable. NOT from Vermont!! September 9, 2015 I can't say as to the quality of the dowel but I can tell you this. I'm not sure how it can be handcrafted in Vermont when I just checked the tracking and it's being shipped directly from GUANGZHOU, CHINA. I guess that explains why I ordered it on August 29 and it's not slated to be delivered until September 29 at the earliest. So the info listed as to it's character and quality are not true. Disappointed. March 13, 2015 This product is a disappointment. Although I like the size , weight and feel as I use it, it started splintering after only a few uses. I take very good care of my kitchen gadgets, washed by hand and dried immediately, so I was surprised when I found rough edges splintering off about 2 inches from one end. I will not buy J.K. Adams wood again. | 1% So glad I didn't throw out my 10-year old scraper/chopper that ... November 22, 2016 So glad I didn't throw out my 10-year old scraper/chopper that I got from Target for $2.99. It has a larger surface and lays flat, so scooping up chopped vegetables is easier. Because of the black handle, the OXO scraper/chopper doesn't lay flat. I'll probably leave it in the back of the utensil drawer for a few years until I ask myself why I'm hanging onto it when I have no use for it . . . and then throw it out. Oh, well. Too sharp for me. April 12, 2016 I had a dough scraper that I used for many years and loved. The handle is cracking so I bought this. But the edge is very sharp. It worked but doesn't move smoothly over my wooden countertop as my old one did. I am afraid I am going to scratch my countertop and it is rather like nails on a chalkboard to me. Two Stars November 2, 2015 I didn't really like it as it's not that great of a chopper. It's just not sharp enough. | 2% Sharp edges inside make it a little scary to use December 27, 2016 This bench tool came with a really sharp edge on the inside of the curve. If you accidentally stick your finger in there it could cut you pretty badly. Other than that it seems like your standard bench scraper. I use an oxo brand one more often because the handle is rounded and more comfotable, and there aren't any pointy corners or sharp edges. Functions well, fair price, deficit in quality control September 27, 2016 Measurements in black along bottom edge not etched or otherwise sunken, so will likely wear off quickly. Poor quality control -- two out of three I was shipped still had a sharp, burred edge on one side. Otherwise, looks good and functions well. My old scraper/chopper (non-brand) was getting a little dull so thought I would buy a new one April 23, 2016 Unhappy! My old scraper/chopper (non-brand) was getting a little dull so thought I would buy a new one. This one has a flat edge so doesn't really chop veggies well without a lot of strength. The old one wasn't sharp by any means, but did the job well. This Norpro has a total flat edge. Haven't decided whether to return or not.since I already have the old scraper/chopper whch works better than new one. Watch out January 14, 2016 I was making bread and wound up with wet, sticky dough on scraper. I was trying to wipe it off and I got a bad cut on my finger. I had no idea it was so sharp and I did not see anything on the package about it being dangerous. Be careful. Inky Dough September 14, 2014 I absolutely loved this for the first eight times or so. Then as I was dividing dough, I noticed black streaks on my dough. The black ink used for the measurements was rubbing off. Sorry, that's just really gross. I had always hand washed this, very gently at that, since it never got really dirty. I used a scrub brush to remove the measurements and brand name on the front. It came off pretty easily. I will continue to use it. The only thing that is really, really stuck on good is the Made in China sticker on the back. | 1% There are no reviews yet |

One Star Reviews: | 1% I don't recommend it. April 20, 2017 This item was not properly made and has little splinters all over so I am unable to use it - no one wants splinters in their pastry. I don't recommend it. Barcode adhered directly to the rolling pin April 10, 2016 I only gave this product one star because the barcode was adhered directly to the rolling pin. The pin was delivered sealed in a plastic bag. Why not adhere the barcode to the packaging???? I will need to use a very fine sandpaper to remove the glue left on the rolling pin after I tried to remove the barcode sticker. This is a pointless problem and easy to fix. I thought I would like this rolling pin January 16, 2016 I thought I would like this rolling pin. I don't care for it at all. There is no straight-flat place in the center of the rolling pin. It is tapered the whole length of the rolling pin. I would like to send it back. Try the dowel-shaped pin! December 4, 2015 This rolling pin is not straight in the middle portion. Upon opening the package, I set it on the counter and alternately put light pressure on both "handle" ends. It actually rocks back and forth from the center portion instead of being stationary like a normal handled pin. This will not result in flat/even baked goods! It also has a slightly rough surface with some gouges like some other users have reported. I had debated between this and a straight dowel-shaped pin (I'd rather not worry about cleaning inside rolling pin handles) and wish I'd just gone with the dowel one.It's difficult to see in the pic but only an inch of the rolling pin touches the counter when it's just sitting there. I tried the rocking on different parts of my counter in case the problem isn't the pin but it is. very disappointed! October 29, 2015 Shape and size are fine. But it arrived in unusable condition. The pin was so rough that any dough would not release from the numerous wood fibers still on the surface. Is quality control a thing of the past? Back to the Old Rolling Pin April 3, 2013 A few attempts to use this had me swearing and ready to toss it into the fireplace. I could not get the right leverage to roll the crust and (not its fault) found it much too long for that type of job on my small counter top. My old-style roller does the job nicely, and I'll stick with that. | 1% Nice tool, boneheaded tag placement October 13, 2017 This rolling pin seems like a very useful tool. But the seller put a VERY sticky tag directly on the rolling surface, and it doesn’t want to come off. There are two flat ends they could’ve used, but no. It’s unfinished wood, so an oily cleaner like GooGone is a bad idea. Nor do I want to use a razor blade to scrape it off the wood. This is annoying and frustrating, and it was completely unnecessary. It’s going back. They must have run out of sandpaper in Vermont December 1, 2016 How did this get all the glowing reviews? That big spiel about handcrafted in Vermont -special wood--load of bull. You may as well go to Home Depot and buy a dowel and it would probably be finished better. The wood grain is not tight at all! It is rough to the touch all over. I don't know if you can see it in the picture, but I tried to show how it has an extremely rough and unsanded surface. I looked at reviews on cooking sites, too. This had good reviews there, too. Maybe at one time it was decent? I can't imagine anyone liking this now. Summary - open grain - poorly (if at all) finished - do not buy and do not be fooled by their spiel. Poor quality. October 29, 2015 Size and shape are fine. Quality of workmanship is another matter. I thought that J.K. Adams was a top notch company and I'm quite surprised by their shoddy work. The wood was not tight grained and I doubt it will hold up. The wood surface was so rough that I had to go out and purchase fine grit sandpaper to smooth out all the rough spots.I'm really beginning to question why I use Amazon. You can't inspect the product, you can't physically feel it in your hand, etc. It's a crap shoot at best. Slightly warped and a small chunk of wood out of it. February 4, 2014 I ordered this to roll pottery clay and found a slight chunk of wood out of it brand new out of the package. Decided to fill the hole myself, as I really needed it at the time instead of returning. As I began using it, I noticed that it is slightly warped also. Would have returned it for sure if I had not already filled the hole. Doesn't make a huge difference with the thickness of clay I am rolling(3/8") but would if I were rolling pastry. No adhesive residue please October 7, 2013 the rolling pin does a great job but I don't see why they would put a sticker directly on the rolling pin (dowel). I scraped off the sticker no I have a rectangular area of sticky adhesive where the sticker used to be. I have a tapered rolling pin and it came with the sticker on the bag. at the very least they could put a sticker on the end of the rolling pin contact the food. | 0% I thought it was a chopper so no it will ... December 13, 2016 I thought it was a chopper so no it will. It do what I was needing it to do . Not Recommended October 29, 2016 This product is labeled as Stainless Steele which should be rust resistant. After each use, I hand washed & dried the scraper to protect the finish. It rusted after only a few uses. I would not recommend this product. Dull as a hammer December 31, 2014 Dull as a hammer. It is a bit big to be handled easily, but it is very thick heavy tool and edge is dullest thing in our kitchen. I use to have this tool as part of the the knife set made by different manufacturer, it was thin, light, razor sharp and we used if for pretty much anything, and unfortunately, this one is nothing like it. Multipurpose? I still need to think one thing I can use it for. | 1% Scratched the heck out of my kitchen counter August 5, 2017 Turn around and walk away. This scraper has a very imprecise edge that results in a slight serration. As a result, scraping flour off my counter after a pizza dough session, it's now scratched like crazy. I should have checked for smoothness before I took it to our counter, now I probably have to replace them. For the record, my counter is soapstone. The stainless steel would probably scratch up almost any counter material short of real granite. Bottom Line: This product is poor quality, and my scratched counters are the price I paid to save 2 bucks on a better product. Use a plastic scraper. I do not recommend buying the "scraper" July 30, 2016 I had thought the scraper end of the instrument would be sharp like a knife. But if is not sharp at all and is not usable as am effective scraper Markings wash off easily & ink comes off onto dough June 10, 2014 I bought this 2 months ago and have used it about 5 times. It says it is dishwasher safe, but I have only hand washed this item with a soft sponge. After about the 3rd use, I noticed that the markings started to fade. The next time I used it, I was chopping scones and noticed that the ink was transferring onto the dough... yuck! I carefully washed it once more and now the markings are almost completely gone. I suppose I can still use it as a scraper, but I initially bought this for the measurements (to chop even cinnamon rolls, etc.). I realize this was inexpensive, but I expect more from this brand. Ink comes off after first use March 14, 2014 I've been using this in my bread baking and the ink on this thing came off into my dough on the first and second uses, rendering the measurements useless and making it so I had to re-make pounds of dough. There are so many similarly priced options that I cannot recommend this one over all the others. I don't know how it has so many positive reviews. Perhaps they changed the ink? | 2% There are no reviews yet |
