Karryoung Tapered French Rolling Pin 17 Inch

Overview

Karryoung's French-style rolling pin is a 17-inch tapered rod of solid rubber wood with no separate handles, built for fondant, pie crust and cookie dough.

The tapered ends are the control mechanism on a French pin: angling the barrel down lets a baker steer thickness and direction without handles getting in the way, which is why this style suits thin, even work like pie crust or fondant more than thick bread dough. Karryoung recommends pairing it with a silicone mat or a marble or granite countertop.

• 17-inch tapered French-style barrel
• Solid rubber wood construction
• Handle-free tapered design
• Works best with a silicone mat or stone counter

Who it's for

Fits bakers who already prefer the no-handle French style for delicate pastry and fondant. Less suited to anyone used to rolling with handles, since the technique differs.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

With no handles, both hands rest directly on the tapered barrel, and the taper itself lets a baker apply more or less pressure toward the ends to steer thickness across the dough. Rubber wood gives the barrel enough density for control without adding the weight of stone. Karryoung notes it performs best on a non-stick mat or a smooth stone counter rather than a floured wood board.
