SPILL THE BEANS

The rolling pin is an essential kitchen tool, especially if you fancy yourself as a bit of a dab hand at baking. Here’s just the model for bakers who like to keep things simple – a sturdy, solid wooden rolling pin from kitchenware experts KitchenCraft. It has all the hallmarks of the traditional rolling pin: a solid design with carved wooden handles. This gives you total control over where it goes, and means it’s easy to apply firm pressure to the dough or pastry as you roll. It’s great for those times when you really need to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in. Use it to make sure your pastry is evenly thinned, that your biscuits are crumble free, or that your marzipan doesn’t create any mysterious lumps under your blanket of fondant icing.
