This was so helpful because I just bought my first French rolling pin and was trying to figure out what to do with it. I found my marble pin to just be too big and bulky. If you do a video could you teach us how to roll out a pie crust in a circle with a French rolling pin. And what is your view on the marble pin? People say they're great for putting in the fridge. But I just find them to be big.
American rolling pins work fine kids. I understand that man buns, and french tapered pins are hip right now, but there is no reason to complicate it. Understanding dough through experience will allow you to use just about anything. enjoy
I find American rolling pins to be a pain. The handles tend to get bent or fall off over time, the metal axels rust unless you wash it by hand and dry it upright every time, and the working width is too small. I switched to a French rolling pin years ago and I’m not a man, don’t wear a bun, and few would describe me as particularly “hip”. 🤓 I do, however, bake a LOT. I have my favorite tools and techniques; you have yours. To each his own. Nothing complicated about that. (Although I’m going to put my hair in a bun and tell the hubby I’m now a Hipster Baker as I make puff pastry today. 🤣)
Great demo for great pins!
Thank you!
