Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Vic Firth French Rolling Pin
Customer Review: more taper than I really needed
Summary: 3 Stars
I got this rolling pin to replace my old cylindrical pin, which had wobbly handles. I figured a pin that was made of a single piece of wood would be sturdier and easier to control.
In practice tho, the steep taper makes it much more sensitive and more difficult to control, so it's actually harder to get an even thickness. The small diameter (less than 2 inches) doesn't help either. Maybe if you're working with very hard and difficult to shape dough this would be a good pin to use, but then I'd probably want something heavier.
Overall it's a functional but awkward pin.
Customer Review: takes some getting used to
Summary: 3 Stars
this is beautifully made but takes some getting used to. Have only used it a couple of times but it feels good - i am sure that with practice it will perform better!Customer Review: This is great for chapatis since it is Indian in design
Summary: 3 Stars
This design is used mainly in Indian cookery to roll chapatis. Any Indian grocery store will carry the same type at a fraction of a price and works just as well.Customer Review: Long and tapered rolling pin
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a good quality rolling pin for smaller tasks, such as making dumplings, tortillas, etc.Customer Review: Satisfied
Summary: 3 Stars
Exactly what I was looking for, and doesn't take up a lot of space in my cabinets.
