Winco Winware 18-Inch Wood Rolling Pins

Don't be afraid of the size of this Goliath, this is a breeze to use. Smooth, effortless, BIG, able to be chilled, and it has super-cool / "look at the size of this thing!" conversation starter factor. It is definitely something to show off in your kitchen. There is nothing wood that can compare to it.Coming in 3 sizes (and the sizes listed are for the tube itself, exclusive of the handles), you should be able to find one that is comfortable for you and should be able to inspire anyone to want to get into baking. There's a reason professional kitchens use products like this...it's not just because everything is shiny. The listed almost-4 pound weight had me concerned at first, but when I pulled it out of the box and started to use it, it is so well balanced that you don't even notice the weight of it. It is definitely one of the best additions to my baking arsenal.Couple of things to remember: it's ALUMINUM. Which means, no dishwasher cleaning unless you want to pit it and take the finish off of it. Residential automatic dishwasher soaps are very harsh to aluminum...commercial dishwasher soaps are not. Aluminum is a fairly soft metal (compared to others), so don't bang the thing around like it's a mallet. Take care of this, and like everything else on the planet, it will offer up years of perfect service--it could certainly be in the heirloom category.Yes, it needs a light dusting of flour, but then again, so did the old wood one--usually over and over. The nice thing about this aluminum model is that throughout the years of cleaning, it won't absorb the water and slowly expand its pours making it more difficult and more frustrating to use like it's wooden counterpart.It came in the scheduled time, and since I have had it, I have used it 4x.PRO: Heft, material, ease of use, balance, investment quality, 'cool factor'--and not just because you can chill it.CON: Material for home use (automatic dishwashers), hand wash (some may find that a negative, but I don't know many that throw a wood pin in the dishwasher...so weak argument), some may think it's expensive.All in all, a great item.

Nice one. Rolls easy. Easy to clean

I needed a big roller for pottery and searched for a while. This was my third purchase and ai am happy to say successful. Smooth, heavy and well made.

What are you looking for in a rolling pin? If you want a larger diameter and length rolling pin, and something other than wood, this is for you. It comes in 3 different size lengths, the diameter is larger than the majority of the pins out on the market. Handles and pin are aluminum. Doesn't appear to have anything inside to make it heavier. I purchased the 15" one. I now have two pins, this aluminum one and the Nor Pro Stainless Steel pin.Like I said in the beginning, if you want a larger diameter or longer length rolling pin, not made of wood, this is one of the few choices you have. The quality is also consistent and that is a big issue with other pins. I didn't want a wooden pin because I know eventually it would crack under my care, no matter how careful I wash and dry. I went through several marble pins and either the surface had quality issues or the holes were not drilled through center. This aluminum one is 2nd to a stainless steel in quality and appearance, both above marble in my opinion. I have other reviews on rolling pins.Please click YES if my review have been helpful to you, it will encourage me to continue writing and updating my reviews, and leave a comment if you have any questions, I will be more than happy to answer if I can be of help.

It’s too funcionality 😍 I loved it

This is a large, heavy rolling pin - exactly what I was looking for to roll out clay slabs. Be aware that it's quite long and you will need to take that into consideration for storage purposes.I've used it several times now to roll out clay (not an easy task) and it's held up and done the job as expected.

This rolling pin is the heaviest one I have ever held in all my years. I figured the description weight was wrong but this wrong, oh my!

I have shopped around for a large rolling pin like this . This is the best quality and price was low compared to equivalent products. They must of changed the adhesive on the stickers because mine peeled right off . Sounds like they listened to the reviews. Either that or I just got lucky. The barrel is unfinished raw wood . It is good idea to wipe it down with mineral oil or cutting board oil . This will seal the wood and they are both food safe.
