Joseph Joseph 20085 Adjustable Rolling Pin - Multi-Colour

Product Information

We found it was very easy to clean by hand, although some flour sticks in the name embossed on the end of the rolling pin. We sent popular rolling pins to the home of one of our product testers, where she used each one to roll out both pie crust and cookie dough. Wet dough can be removed with a soft brush under running water, or the pin can be set aside until the dough dries out so it’s easier to brush away.

The perfect pin will have a length that can handle large sheets of dough without needing too many passes, it will be light enough to make it easy to handle, but with enough weight to make it easier to roll the dough without needing excess force. Wooden pins are heavy enough to provide a good press on the dough, and with a dusting of flour, the dough doesn’t stick. There are also rolling pins made with silicone coatings, or those made from plastic or stainless steel. Rolling width is limited to the width of the pin (about 25cm) so it’s not good for larger circles of sugarpaste and is more suited to biscuits doughs and pastry.

Twin brothers Antony and Richard Joseph grew up in a family manufacturing business and were always fascinated by design, engineering and invention. The PrecisionPin adjustable rolling pin from the Joseph Joseph label enables ideal rolling of all kinds of dough. This innovative rolling pin takes the guesswork out of preparing biscuit dough, pizza bases, pie tops, lasagne sheets and filo pastry. We tested the rolling pins by rolling out our chilled homemade pastry on a lightly floured work surface and assessing how easy or hard it was to roll, and the finished appearance of the pastry.

The pin is hollow and can be filled with ice or cold water to keep the pastry cool when rolling – this can also help prevent sticking. The slight taper of the Muso Wood rolling pin makes it easy to maneuver while rolling out dough but isn't so extreme that there will be a steep learning curve for those new to using a French rolling pin.

Whatever you choose, make sure it's long enough for your regular use and won't cause any wrist strain. Bought this to roll sugar paste/fondant thinner, but it's not wide enough to cope with an 8" cake + sides, ended up with the discs leaving marks in the fondant. After some use, we felt the pin spinning, but it was still quite stiff, which made rolling harder than it should have been.

Whether it’s a classic cylindrical roller or a specialised tapered pin, you’re sure to find the ideal rolling pin for your kitchen. She earned her master of arts degree in education from Michigan State University with concentrations in literacy and technology. Depending on the need, the appropriate ring can be selected and the rest can be removed quite simply.Four carefully calibrated, adjustable discs screw on and off, changing the height of the roller from 2mm deep through to 10mm (there’s also imperial measurements). The major difference you'll notice between this rolling pin and traditional rolling pins is that the handles are fixed, so you won't be able to just hold on to the handles and roll out your dough. When filled with water of the right temperature, the rolling pin can be used to quickly roll out dough and fondants into perfect sheets; dough does not stick to the surface of the rolling pin. Pros: It’s ideal for bakers who struggle to roll an even thickness to every edge or work with a lot of biscuit dough and doesn’t require any complicated faffing, adjusting or techniques. I'm afraid I'm going to snap these handles off," was the first thing our tester noted, and it didn't get better from there.
