Five Star Reviews: | 43% Great b day party favors and we actually used these ... September 26, 2016 Great b day party favors and we actually used these to bake :)!! I will say that some did fall apart but for the use of 15 minutes during the party it was a good investment . These were perfect for my activity with preschoolers January 28, 2015 These were perfect for my activity with preschoolers. They used them to make gingerbread men from gingerbread play dough. Check the size to make sure they are what you want. Geat product April 4, 2014 I bought these to create place name holders for a theme table. The place holders were a huge success on appearance. The added bonus was how excited people were to take these home to children and grandchildren. I have had many reports of how well these worked for play dough and kid baking projects. perfect favors for chef party November 9, 2013 I ordered 2 sets of these for my son's chef birthday party and they were perfect for the cooking activities at the party and made great favors that all of the kids were excited about! | 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. |
Four Star Reviews: | 29% Good item, not the most sturdy or pretty as ... December 16, 2015 Good item, not the most sturdy or pretty as the main body has discolorations of pink and grey marbled on it. But it works for a bunch of cheap playdoh rollers. Here Comes Toy Rolling Pins! April 7, 2015 Order was processed in timely manner. Rolling pins were smaller (in thickness) than we expected, but our Pre-K/K Sunday School students like them just fine--to roll out Play Dough. Good product. Really adorable rolling pins for children February 9, 2015 Really adorable rolling pins for children. And good size for them. Giving them as part of a goodie bag a long with play dough for my son's 6th birthday. Would have given 5 stars, but when I took the rolling pins out of the boxes, my hands got red from the handles. I cleaned up the handles and no more red on the hands. Work well, April 27, 2013 but, inner dowel seems a little on the flimsy side. Waiting to see if they stand the test of time! | 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. |
Three Star Reviews: | 21% Look Dirty/Cheap - Diff than Ad Pic October 30, 2015 Purchased as a part of favor gift for Playdoh party. My initial impression and 4 year old's - they look dirty and after wiping them down the were kinda dirty. But the finish of the rolling party is different than appears in the ad picture. Instead it's marble-ish looking with most of them being a pinkish/white color and a handful black/white - see attached picture which is after wiping them. Definitely not the colors I was expecting but for the price and my timeline they will have to do. In addition the red handle was loose and came out on a couple of the pins but I pushed them back on and they appear they will stay. I purchased 2 sets of these. I may change my review from 3 to 4 stars if they hold up well after the party and if I can get past the color which makes them look really cheap. perfect for their little hands March 11, 2015 I bought these for my child's birthday party. The kids were between the ages 4 and 9. perfect for their little hands. We used the rolling pins to roll out pizza dough. The kids even took them home as part of their favors. Great buy! Just average. December 20, 2014 This is decent. It's ok for little kids rolling play dough. The ends have come off the roller a couple times, so it's not top quality or anything. But, it does it's job ok. | 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. |
Two Star Reviews: | 0% There are no reviews yet | 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. |
One Star Reviews: | 7% | 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. |
