My grandmother passed well over a decade ago, and with her passing my aunts started a feud about who had her rolling pin; it was nothing fancy, just a plain old wooden rolling pin. Looks just like my old one. It was brought up at every family gathering, “no! *I* have her rolling pin!! She gave it to me before she died!” “Oh no no no!! She gave it to me!” Well that old bat must have had 2 rolling pins and planned this! And it continued. I can only imagine the private conversations between the two, because it never ended! The feud continued, even on one of my aunts’ death bed! “She gave it to me!” And at her funeral, last year, my surviving aunt brought that plain old rolling pin to the service. She waved it above her head and proclaimed that this was the rightful rolling pin. It was *hers* and nobody else could dispute it any longer! I only hope, that this rolling pin, has the legacy of those. And my future children feud over it much the same.

The price for this rolling pin is amazing. With that price, comes some variability. The "white" color has gray in it, like the photo. But because it is marble, it will vary anywhere from mostly white to mostly gray. I know this because I had to replace the first one I received since the marble was broken. The next one I received was much more white (yay!) but didn't roll/turn very well. If you also have this issue, don't go about replacing it (unless you want to chance another color). Inside is just a metal rod. Set the rolling pin on the base and spin the handles. When they get stuck, gently press down on both handles to bend the inner metal rod. Spin again and repeat until handles spin freely.

I am a big baker, and have always used a wooden rolling pin. In need of a new one, I bought this based on the reviews. Honestly, I didn't know a rolling pin could be so awesome. I LOVE the weight of it, and love putting it in my freezer before rolling out cookies or pie crust. It gets, and stays, very cold, which makes for flakey pie crusts and great cut-out cookies that don't spread. The real proof of durability came when I needed ground pecans for an awesome new cookie recipe I was trying. (Type hedgehog cookies into a search engine and look for the chocolate pecan ones--thank me later.) Well, I just bought a house and was not willing to go buy a food processor/blender to grind them. I put them in a freezer bag and took my new rolling pin to them. Five minutes later? Boom! Ground pecans! Oh rolling pin, baby, I think I love you.

Probably the heaviest rolling pin I've ever used but I love it. Its very well made and I've used it to roll out pasta and puff pastry and it worked very well with both. I like that it comes with a base because even though I have it in a drawer it is still stable and not rolling around into any of my other appliances. Its also a very beautiful rolling pin and it happened to match a marble cutting board that I received as a present. Works great and looks great, thats all you can really ask for.

I've been replacing many home items due to a fire so have not had a chance to use everything I've purchased. I like the look of this rolling pin. It does come with a marble stand. It's fairly heavy, but seems to move freely. I purchased this one because the handles were aluminum & not wood. Some reviews of other rolling pins mentioned the wood handles had cracked. Thought this might be a better choice. Some people like to put their rolling pins in the freezer before rolling out pie crust so icy metal would be more uncomfortable to handle than wood. Just a matter of taste & how you use your rolling pin.

This is the first pin I’ve ever bought. My mother has a marble pin with handles that I saw her use only a few times growing up, so I was already a little partial to marble, just because. However, she didn’t take the time to bake a lot so I certainly did a little recon on the type of pin I should get for cooking my first Thanksgiving pies and breakfast quiche. Being marble, it’s wonderful to freeze/refrigerate to keep your pie dough from getting too warm. I found I had to flour it quite a bit, but being my first homemade pie crust, my dough might have been a little too wet anyways. Again, first pin so I was worried about tolling technique. This pin literally does the work for you. The French style naturally makes it turn easy and the weight of the marble keeps you from having to apply any pressure at all. Very easy to clean!

Rolling pins are intended to be heavy and this one's a hefty six pounds. I place mine in the freezer for 30 minutes prior to rolling out pastry dough and it does a fantastic job. As you know, your options for making a flaky crust are to use either a marble slab with a wooden rolling pin and cloth sleeves (to pick up excess flour in the rolling process and prevent sticking) or, to chill the pin and work on a lightly floured surface. The chilled rolling pin prevents the breakdown of the fat in the dough and helps maintain the quality of the crust. I prefer this latter method. Here are this product's pros and cons: Pros * Weight is appropriate for its purpose * Marble provides a perfectly smooth dough * Handles are sufficiently long for larger hands yet, excellent for smaller ones * Base cradles the pin allowing it be placed on a counter or, stored on a shelf without the chance of rolling away * Dough does not stick to the marble * Cleans easily * Long-lasting product Cons * There just aren't any, which is why I'm re-ordering exactly the same rolling pin 15 years later We frequently complain about planned obsolescence in many of today's products. Not this one!

This product is as advertised. It is, as far as I can tell, a solid, single piece of polished marble. It is beautiful to look at and feel, and it is also an effective dough roller. It is quite heavy despite its small size. I have 2 larger rollers than this, a wooden one and a stainless steel one. This marble roller is the heaviest. It is great for pasta dough, and pastry pie doughs. I might prefer a lighter roller for the more delicate doughs like phyllo. Anyhow for most dough uses this is an excellent purchase.

I ordered this rolling pin on the advice of my physical therapist. He said that one of his patients used a rolling pin to massage the side of her leg...we both had a broken hip. Therapist also said to use an ice pack. I put this rolling pin in the freezer for chilling and then rolling. Perfect for pain relief. Looking forward to using it later for puff pastry.

I got this to replace a wooden one and also because my Nana had a marble one when I was young. I had heard marble is good for rolling out dough because it is cooler than room temp, so the dough stays cold. I LOVE this thing and it is a complete game changer. I can roll out pizza dough in under a minute and it gets very thin. It’s so heavy, you have to put very little effort into rolling. I can’t wait to try on Christmas cookies. Now I know how Nana got them so thin :) (Also could double as a weapon in an emergency, lol)
