I really like how light weight it is!

My daughters were diagnosed with Celiac and I had to get rid of all my kitchen cookware. I hadn't replaced my rolling pin, which makes baking a bit of a chore, so I decided to give this a try. I've used wood and silicone pins but never a stainless steel one.The first thing I noticed is how lightweight this is. It really doesn't have the heft of any pin I've used in the past. This means that I have to use more muscle when rolling heavier dough. I don't notice it with lighter things (like crust).The sides are smooth and it rolls easily with a flat hand. The length is ideal. The color (I got the rainbow one) is amazing and I have gotten several compliments from guests.Unfortunately, my pin had a spot on one end where it looks like it got hit with something metal -- a dent. As long as I am careful with how I roll it doesn't impact my dough, but if I have to roll the edge across it will leave a stuttering mark where it goes. Boo. I also find that it sticks a bit more than my wood and silicone coated pins. I have found I need to use more flour or to chill the pin.The box did not say how to care for it so I have been hand washing.Made in China

The Berglander stainless steel rolling pin (gold) is a simple tool that does an smooth job.The rolling pin doesn’t have separate handles. Instead, you roll it with the ends, which are slightly tapered. It rolls smoothly, flattening the dough to the thickness that you want.The rolling pin can be put in the refrigerator, which decreases its “stickiness.” This lets you roll dough with a lot of butter in it without melting the butter or sticking as much (for example, pie dough).An excellent rolling pin you can pull out whenever you are baking to make the job easier.
