The Best Rolling Pins Of 2023

While you can somewhat easily roll out dough using an empty wine bottle or even a mason jar, this is far from an ideal solution when it comes to regular cooking and baking projects. Not only is this makeshift set-up awkward to use, but it's also imprecise — particularly if you're trying to make pastry of a particular thickness. There's also the risk of breaking the glass during the rolling process if you get overenthusiastic.

In many cases, a quality rolling pin can do nothing less than revolutionize your kitchen endeavors. Typically used for rolling out dough meant for things like cookies, pizza, dumplings, and tarts, this is a versatile kitchen tool that can mean the difference between a flawless meal and a complete flop. After all, in the world of baking, for example, an overly thick or thin pastry can be a deal-breaker when it comes to some dishes.

A sturdy rolling pin can prove to be a great investment for a home chef. Not only can it help you to produce uniform sheets of pastry or dough every time, but it also makes the job easy on your wrists and hands. Plus, given a little love, the right dough roller is likely to serve you for many years to come.

While all rolling pins may seem to be the same at first glance, this couldn't be further from the truth. Dough rollers come in different styles and sizes. They are also made from different materials, each with a list of pros and cons. To help you select the right kitchen tool for your needs, we have examined the rolling pins of both popular and lesser-known brands. We also read hundreds of community and expert reviews for a more in-depth perspective on how each product fares in a real kitchen

When selecting the best rolling pins, we took into account several factors. Firstly, we looked at each gadget's material and design. Generally speaking, there are three types of rolling pins out there: traditional rolling pins with handles, straight rolling pins without handles, and tapered rolling pins that look like something in-between, as explained by the Kitch Mystic. Rolling pins also come in different sizes, so you must take note of this detail and pick one that's just the right size for your culinary projects.

Crafted from sustainably-grown North American maple wood, the J.K. Adams 12-inch gourmet rolling pin comes with handles for easy rolling. The classic kitchen tool also features a built-in steel axle for increased durability, as well as self-lubricating bearings and waxed barrels. With features like these, we think there's a good reason why this rolling pin carries a lifetime warranty. Plus, it's handcrafted in Vermont, so you can rest assured that your purchase is supporting a homegrown American industry (via Amazon).

The J.K. Adams gourmet rolling pin has garnered a glowing 4.6 out of 5 stars overall from Amazon shoppers, with 79% of reviewers giving the product an outstanding 5 out of 5 stars.

Another reviewer calls the pin out for its high-quality construction, adding, "Very sturdy, great weight that just works the dough for you." On the downside, some shoppers complain that the pin comes with a sticker that's tricky to remove. But, as far as we are concerned, a sticker is far from a deal breaker.

Measuring 17.75 inches, the Farberware classic wood rolling pin is large enough for you to roll out sizable sheets of pastry or dough. What's more, at just over $10, it's also an absolute bargain. The traditional-style roller with handles is constructed with rust-proof nylon bearings to ensure smooth rolling for many baking projects. While the kitchen gadget is made from moisture-resistant hardwood, it's not dishwasher-safe, as per Amazon.

Despite its low price, the Farberware classic wood rolling pin has received many favorable ratings on different platforms, including 8.9 out of 10 on Don't Waste Your Money and 4.7 out of 5 on Amazon. More specifically, shoppers have praised the kitchen tool for its value and quality.

Complete with stainless steel handles, the Fistukit white marble rolling pin set makes an elegant — albeit pricey — addition to any kitchen. At 5.6 ounces, the 10-inch roller is also both sturdy and heavy enough to easily flatten just about any sort of pastry or dough. The marble stone is also non-stick, making for smoother rolling with even the stickiest mixes. Unlike wooden rollers, which can't be submerged in water, the Fistukit rolling pin can be cleaned under running water. Aside from the roller, the Fistukit set comes with a wooden holding base, a pastry measurement mat, and a pastry cutter (via Amazon).

Overall, Amazon customers give the Fistukit white marble rolling pin set the thumbs up, rating it 4.6 out of 5 stars. Shoppers seem to appreciate the rolling pin's aesthetics and hefty weight, saying that it aids the rolling process and looks nice while doing so. As one reviewer says, "This thing is gorgeous! It has a very good weight to it. It was the only marble rolling pin I could find that didn't have cheap wooden or aluminum handles. I'm very impressed with it." Unfortunately, some shoppers weren't as impressed with the add-ons in the package, saying that the mat is smaller than advertised and gets easily scratched by the pastry cutter.

Unlike more traditional rolling pins with handles, at least as far as many American cooks are concerned, French rolling pins take the form of a wooden dowel. They are also tapered at the ends for better maneuverability and tend to be easier to use for amateur bakers, as Cline's Crafted Woodworking explains. Made from solid rock maple, the Fletchers' Mill French rolling pin is one of the best tapered rolling pins on the market, as evidenced by its 4.8 out of 5-star rating on Amazon. Plus, the lengthy 20-inch dowel is handmade in Maine from hardwood grown and harvested in New England.

The Fletchers' Mill French rolling pin has earned a 5-star stamp of approval from a very respectable 87% of Amazon reviewers. One customer calls the dowel nothing short of outstanding, elaborating, "So pleased that craftsmanship is alive and well, at least with Fletchers' Mill. The quality of this item will last two lifetimes. Lightweight and hard as a rock quality wood." Another buyer agrees, saying, "The French rolling pin is the best thing since sliced bread. So easy to use and I am not a professional! I love the pin! No end knobs to get in the way, just a smooth roll!"

If you're looking for something simple and effective, then the J.K. Adams 19-inch rolling dowel is the straight rolling pin for you. Made from North American maple wood, the cylindrical tube is a great all-around kitchen tool. In particular, the pin's uniform surface makes it ideal for rolling dough for cookies or any other pastry that requires an even thickness, as Kitch Mystic explains. While it is straight, without any tapering or other shaping, the pin has a slightly textured finish to hold flour and so prevent the utensil from sticking to the dough. Last but certainly not least, the dowel carries a lifetime warranty so you can rest assured that you're getting great value for your money (via Amazon).

The J.K. Adams 19-inch rolling dowel has received 4.7 out of 5 stars from more than 1,500 Amazon customers, with 81% of reviewers awarding it 5 out of 5 stars.

That being said, some shoppers warn that the pin comes with a sticker that leaves a residue on the wood even after it's been removed.

Whether you're rolling out the dough for cookies or need an extra-thin pastry for dumplings, the Joseph Joseph adjustable rolling pin has you covered. Ultra versatile, the straight-style rolling pin comes with four color-coded rings that raise it to create 1/16, 1/6, 1/4, and 3/8-inch thick sheets of pastry or dough. Made from beech wood, the 17-inch pin (this includes the rings) also features etched measurement lines in both inches and centimeters (via Amazon).

According to Insider, the Joseph Joseph adjustable rolling pin is the perfect solution to uneven dough, which in the worst-case scenario can leave you with partially burnt or undercooked baked goods. Another benefit of the Joseph Joseph rolling pin is its removable handles, which make the rolling pin easy to clean. Wired echoes this sentiment, calling the Joseph Joseph adjustable rolling pin the "Cadillac of rolling pins."

As its name suggests, the OXO Good Grips non-stick rolling pin won't stick to your dough. A combination of sticky dough and a grippy rolling pin is not just annoying but can tear your pastry into unusable bits. Combining steel and an ILAG coating, the 12-inch OXO rolling pin can even be popped in the freezer to prevent dough from becoming overly soft during the rolling process. That's key when you're making a flaky pastry that needs intact pieces of butter between layers. What's more, it comes with raised handles to provide extra leverage and keep your knuckles out of harm's way (via Amazon).

The OXO Good Grips non-stick rolling pin has received top marks from shoppers, including a solid 8.9 out of 10 on Don't Waste Your Money and 4.7 out of 5 on Amazon.

My husband and I make bread twice a week and it shows no signs of wear, even after heavy washing and use." Another shopper adds, "It's very non-stick and it's super easy to wash. The handles are quite ergonomic, and the size is great — it's much larger than I expected."

It can also be placed in the freezer to make fast work of rolling out sticky dough or keeping the layers of laminated pastries separated. And since it's hollow, the roller pin is also extremely lightweight. As if that weren't enough on its own, the Ultra Cuisine French rolling pin comes with a recipe ebook and is backed by a lifetime warranty.

Standing testament to its quality, the Ultra Cuisine French rolling pin has been rated 8.9 out of 10 on Don't Waste Your Money.

Dough doesn't seem to stick to it, and it washes up easily." Another customer, who bought this roller as a replacement for a wooden pin, says, "The wooden rolling pin kept getting the dough stuck on it. This definitely keeps its temperature cool and is very easy to clean."

A great gift or novelty item to decorate your kitchen, the Mason Cash kitchen roller shaker is the ultimate multitasker.

Combining natural stone and wooden handles, the Fox Run polished marble pin is unlikely to stick to your dough during the rolling process.

Perhaps one Amazon customer sums the gadget up best, saying, "Although perhaps not heirloom quality, this is a decent roller for a decent price. I've used it several times now, and it works great." However, other Amazon reviewers seem divided about the pin's weight, with some appreciating its heft and others complaining that "you will more likely find yourself holding the pin off the dough to prevent rolling [it too] thin."
