Rolling Pins
Originally uploaded by abstract2concrete.
Tip : Never put your rolling pins through any type of dishwashing. Always hand wash without submerging them. Otherwise the bearings will corrode, and the pin will lose it's smooth rolling action.
To choose a good pin, run it along your table with a swift "U" shaped motion, lifting up after a few seconds.
A good working pin will be left spinning (even though it is off the table surface)
If it stops suddenly -- the bearings are too corroded. Don't use. Use can result in many problems, especially if working with laminated doughs.
