Fletchers' Mill has been handcrafting wood products in New Vineyard, Maine, since 1978, and this 20-inch French rolling pin in solid rock maple is one of the cleaner examples of what they do: no unnecessary parts, no bulk, just one piece of sustainably harvested New England hardwood shaped into a tool that professional pastry chefs consistently prefer over handled alternatives.
The French rolling pin format is tapered at both ends with no handles and no axle. This puts your hands directly on the wood and keeps them close to the dough, where you can feel exactly how thick the sheet is getting and adjust pressure in real time. Rock maple is one of the hardest American hardwoods - smooth, dense, resistant to warping, and durable enough to outlast several generations of plastic and handled pins. The smooth sanded finish resists sticking without over-flouring the surface, which matters when you are rolling delicate pastry dough. At 20 inches and 0.75 lbs, it handles pie crusts, pasta dough, puff pastry, laminated doughs, and crackers with ease. Featured by Epicurious as a top pick.
Care Instructions: Wipe with a damp cloth after each use and dry completely. Never submerge in water or put in the dishwasher - moisture will damage the wood and can cause warping over time. Apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil occasionally to condition the wood and extend its life.Brand: Fletchers' Mill
