Default good charactaristics in a rolling pin

Hi,

I am doing more cooking lately and decided I need a rolling pin to "open
my horizons". What should I look for in a rolling pin. I saw some kind
of stainless steel one for $25, but my local supermarket has a wooden
one that looks good for $10. I also so a marble one which was very
expensive and on the box said it should be put in a freezer so the dough
wouldn't stick to it which sounds like a pain in the behind. What's
good in a rolling pin? It seems that the $10 one could do the same thing
as the $25 so is it just a preference?

I presume a good one should be relatively heavy and not have dough stick
to it easily. Is that the case with wood?

Thanks all,
Ben

Personally I prefer a "pastry rolling pin" I think they gibe more control
and a better feel.

Here just 1 example

Here are the things I look for in a rolling pin:
Weight/heft: A heavier rolling pin means less work for you, and will also
produce more even results.
Ease of use: Some people prefer the dowel type pins, others the ones with
stationary handles. It's a matter of preference, and if you have the
opportunity to try them both out, all the better.
Size: You don't want one that is too small, as it will make getting an even
thickness more difficult. You also don't want one that is so large as to
make it unwieldy.
Quality: Some of the cheaper ones, especially the cheaper wooden ones, won't
last as long as a quality pin. The cheap wooden ones, for example, will
split/splinter, which is not something you want, obviously :-)....Unless
you're not getting enough fiber in your diet!

As for sticking, depending on the dough, you can flour the pin (and the
surface you're rolling on) or you can use a rolling pin cover, which is
cloth. I just rub a bit of flour into the wood on mine.
The marble pin, by the way, is excellent if what you'll be using it for is
mostly pastry. If you store it in the freezer, it's not a big deal to keep
it chilled. Being cold gives it an advantage when making things like pie
crust, puff pastry, etc because it will keep the butter from melting, and
that is essential to having the best results with your dough.

Ideally, the pin should be heavy, smooth and well-balanced. My
preference is for the solid wood cyclinder sort: blunt-ended for
pounding, no fussy handles that never are comfortable anyway.
Flouring it lightly makes it nonstick anyway. Easy to scrub and wood is
naturally antibacterial.

I saw someone on TV using a wine bottle as a rolling pin. So I tried
it. Now, even though I have a couple of wooden pins, I always use a 22
ounce longneck beer bottle to roll pastry because it works *so* much
better than a wooden pin. If you use a wine bottle, get one that is
rather tall with straight sides (like a returnable beer bottle).

That's like asking which tires to get without saying what kind of vehicle
you're driving... your Lexus will handle very different sporting a set of my
tractor tires, and vice versa.

Depending on use you may need more than one type of rolling pin... there are
literally hundreds of different types designed for specific uses. Since you
obviously have zero experience I'd strongly suggest you get a "starter" rolling
pin, a generic wooden pin from your local stupidmarket's housewares aisle...
get one with an axle type handle. Then as your culinary experience progresses
you can add the various rolling pins to your collection. Of course for
occasional use an ordinary wine bottle will suffice in the majority of cases...
some folks get by quite nicely with nothing more than a length of hardwood
dowel from Home Depot.

At this point I am thinking of pastries with regards to the rolling pin.
But a silly question - what else are they used for?

Thanks,

That's certainly cheap. Though I haven't seen them at any stores I have
been to. Something to consider though.

Yup, wine bottles work great... for pastry work use a bottle fresh from the
fridge.

What kind of fercocktah, newbie, piece-of-....sorry, I was channelling there
for a moment...

Seriously, a bottle out of the fridge? Unless your kitchen is colder than
your fridge, or humidity controlled at 0%, you're going to get condensation
on the outside of that bottle. Do you really want to smear water all over
your pastry dough?

Cookies, mainly...which for most recipes the marble wouldn't matter for.
Also for rolling out things like bread doughs, sweet rolls, savory rolls,
chocolate clay, fondant, crushing graham crackers and the like.

Why would you roll out dough for bread and rolls? I mainly make challah
where I just roll out strips for brading with my hands - I don't know how I
could do it with a rolling pin. Do you mean something you roll up with
regards to rolls and that is what the rolling pin would be for? I should
probably find myself a recipe for that once I get one.

regards,
Ben

My wood pin has been retired for 20 years. I only use a marble
one and have never needed to put it in the freezer. Marble stays
cooler than other surfaces which is why it works so well with pie
crusts.

YMMV, but I doubt it. LOL

I have a few recipes for bread where you roll it out and then roll it up
much like you would sweet rolls, or cinnamon rolls. There's orange bread,
cinnamon bread, and chocolate-almond for starters. There are also many
dinner rolls that I use the pin for...one where you roll it out, fold it in
layers, then slice the layers; another where you roll it, cut into squares
and then put 2 squares so the corners are at odds into each cup of a muffin
tin and bake. And of course, there are the cinnamon rolls, which translates
into orange rolls, date rolls, cranberry (or raspberry or strawberry) cream
cheese rolls, etc.

Hey, that you wanna do your pastry work in a warm humid space is no consequence
of mine. Pastry workers cool their marble in the fridge all the time. Perhaps
you live in a climate whereas your concept of pastry work is tortillas.

Good point... if it can be rolled with a pin it ain't yeast bread dough...
sweet dough yes, bread dough no.

I could turn one of those on a lathe in about 30 seconds.

The Mexicans use a simple dowel for tortilla's

Why do some rolling pins have bearings that spin and others are straight
one piece?

Unless marble is chilled it will be at precisely the same temperature as
everything else within that space. But you are correct, marble is used because
it stays cooler than other materials, marble is used because it maintains
whatever temperature it's at longer, because it has greater mass, but unless
it's chilled it will not be cooler than the ambient temperature. Confectionary
and pastry workers generally employ very large marble slabs, much too
cumbersome and heavy to easily move about, certainly not into a fridge... but
the space they work in is an air conditioned space and it's kept cold, colder
than the comfort zone folks are used to for their homes and work places... the
pastry chef does not prepare the pastry dough in the space where the pastry is
baked.

If you're going to work pastry on marble at home choose a cool dry day and work
during early morning before the sun rises... unless you have AC, and then be
sure the sun is not streaming in the windows directly on whatever surface
you're working.

You exaggerate... you couldn't chuck your elongated wooden nose between the
head and tail stocks in under 30 minutes... and you'd spend an hour making a
template that configuration... then you'd spend at least 15 minutes sanding and
another 15 minutes sealing the wood with two finish coats. And I seriously
doubt you could turn that object in under 15 minutes, and an arrogant putz like
you would likely ruin a few before getting one passibly correct. Dimitri can
buy his all ready to go, for a lousy SIX BUCKS!!!!... less than you'd pay for
the hardwood stock.. and he don't need any stinkin' wood lathe! Idiot!

I like a heavy maple rolling pin the type with bearings, well floured, for
cookies, piecrust and pastries. A well used rolling pin is my favorite, my
mom gave me one of hers, perfectly worn in. I tend to like that one better
than my *new* one that I picked up ten years ago or so for around $30. When
the time comes for my parents to break up houskeeping the other rolling pin
is on my wanted list.
