Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Vic Firth French Rolling Pin
Customer Review: Perfect for pie dough
Summary: 5 Stars
This rolling pin is a great addition to my baking tools. It makes rolling out pie dough a snap. It is so easy to maneuver and gives you better control than a standard rolling pin. Customer Review: Bakery pin: perfect for everyone
Summary: 5 Stars
On the current Amazon page, three Vic Firth rolling pin models are listed together -- this review is for the bakery pin, which is about 20" long and of uniform width, without separate handles.
I wanted to mention one thing explicitly that I hadn't seen in other reviews -- this is a great rolling pin for all hand sizes and strengths. If you have arthritis or a hard time gripping handles, this rolls nicely under the palm & fingers with plenty of room for your 12" dough in between. If you have large hands, the wide ends are much more comfortable to hold than the narrow, tapered ends of a French pin. Kids can get leverage on it, since there's no spinning handle axle or specialized technique required. Everyone in my family can use this rolling pin and get excellent results. That, to me, is a terrific feature.
And yes, like everyone else has said, it provides great control, is effortless to maneuver, and really attractive. It's easy to clean, and needs no more attention than your butcher block; just condition with a little oil occasionally, and don't soak it in water for long periods of time.
Customer Review: Good French Rolling Pin
Summary: 4 Stars
If you like French Rolling Pins, this one is pretty good. It arrived quickly and is exactly what I expected.Customer Review: Excellent basic pin
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been looking for a basic french rolling pin and this was the answer. Small and light, unlike my heavy, old rolling pin with metal in the center that kept rusting.
Perfect for my pie crusts!
Customer Review: not a drumstick for sure
Summary: 5 Stars
freaks me out a little that Vic Firth makes drumsticks and rolling pins. Bakers swear by it and, so do I!
