Amazon.com Review
When cooking tart shells or any other butter-based pastries, maintaining a dough's consistency and keeping cold butter bits intact so they can create essential flakiness is critical. For truly professional pastry, working with refrigerated dough is not enough, as a rolling pin creates fiction, and thus heat. That's the value of a marble rolling pin. This beautiful tool's natural coolness means those butter bits don't melt and the dough doesn't stick to the pin. Steel ball bearings ensure smooth rolling with minimal effort. --Fred Brack

Customer Reviews

heavy enough to roll out the pastry evenly
I got this rolling pin because my previous wooden pin was not heavy enough to roll out pastry without a great deal of effort. (I recently started baking again, after a gap of several years.) This one works much better, and it rolls easily with good-quality bearings. You shouldn't expect it to be lightweight, but that's not what I was looking for.

Nice Rolling Pin
This is my first marble rolling pin and I'm very satisfied with it. It's made from good quality, heavy marble and is great for pastries.

Ease and Excellence in Rolling Pastry/Cookie Dough
With the Vic Firth 12-Inch Marble Rolling Pin, I do not hesitate to make my own pie crusts and rolling out any other type of pastry/cookie dough is very easy and a pleasure. This is the best rolling pin I've every used and the third one I've owned. Because of the marble surface, the dough remains cool and at an even temperature, allowing you to work with the dough easily - the dough remains consistent in texture and does not stick to the rolling pin. The rolling pin is also very easy to clean and store. It's a great product for whatever your "rolling" needs may be. I lent my rolling pin to my mother and I think she's going to keep it and I'll have to purchase another one. Without hesitation, I would purchase this product again and I would give it as a gift.
