Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Helen Chen's Asian Kitchen 18-inch Caramelized Bamboo Rolling Pin
Customer Review: Elegant Bamboo Rolling Pin Proves Excellent, Sturdy Baker's Tool
Summary: 5 Stars
I completely agree with Jennifer, another Reviewer for this product. The heavier weight of this rolling pin proves a better baker's tool than the usual French pastry rolling pin made of maple. The naturally tighter and more dense grain of bamboo wood makes the surface of this rolling pin, which is sanded silky smooth and, as Jennifer says, is not prone to splintering, almost impermeable, nonporous. Whether one's pastry recipe calls for butter, shortening, or oil, rolling it out simultaneously lubricates the pin to an elegant sheen, protecting the bamboo and preventing sticking of the dough as it is worked. Rolling pastry is easier with this pin's length which better suits the average shoulder-width position of the hands upon the pin as one rolls. With a larger circumference, this pin also makes short work of rolling with a few passes and use of the slightly tapered ends. In all, this is an excellent, sturdy, durable, and essential kitchen tool. With bamboo's growing popularity as an easily renewable and sustainable resource, I recommend it over pins that spin on an axle and certainly over the French tapered pins made of maple. Enjoy!
Description of Helen Chen's Asian Kitchen 18-inch Caramelized Bamboo Rolling Pin
This rolling pin did not come from your grandma's kitchen! Helen's Asian Kitchen brings a touch of class to baking with her bamboo 18 French style rolling pin. The bamboo in this rolling pin has been caramelized, meaning the bamboo has been pressure heated to the point that natural sugars release giving the pin its beautiful honey color. Not only is it pretty to have in your kitchen, but you can also create flaky pastry and pie crusts with this beautiful pin.Created by Helen's Asian Kitchen in collaboration with Chinese food expert Helen Chen, this lovely and durable rolling pin matches French design with Eastern materials. A tube with tapered ends, the pin is crafted from bamboo, a renewable resource that is harder than maple. Smooth in action and gentle on the hands because it requires no grip, the pin measures 18 inches in length. Heat-triggered caramelization of the bamboo gives it an appealing honey color. Ideal for piecrusts, pastries, and cookie dough, it should be washed by hand to maintain its structural integrity. --Emily Bedard
