Marble Rolling Pin


For my birthday this year my Mom sent me a marble rolling pin. And, I have been so grateful to have it. :) I have used it to make cinnamon rolls,


Homemade noodles,


Croissant Rolls,


And Tortillas; flour tortillas and corn tortillas.

I have used a wooden rolling pin for several years and it has done a good job for me. But, I can tell you, after comparing the two, that the marble pin makes rolling out all these foods much easier! It is quite a bit heavier and the weight helps things flatten a lot faster.


Another great thing about a marble rolling pin is that it can be chilled and will stay cool, which can be useful when rolling out pastries. Although I haven't used mine for pie pastry yet, I know from experience in my mother's kitchen, using her marble rolling pin, that a cold rolling pin makes pie pastry easier to work with.

"Thank you so much, Mommy! You know a rolling pin in my kitchen is sure to get a lot of use, and one of such quality has made my job easier." ;)

  1. When I was growing up my mom always used a marble rolling pin. They really do work much better than a wooden rolling pin. I was so pleased to find one, soon after marrying, at a local Mennonite shop. It is one of my favorite kitchen tools. I even use it to roll out my pizza crust dough. : )
