Kitchencraft Non-Stick 46cm Rolling Pin
Non-Stick Rolling Pin
The KitchenCraft Non-Stick 46cm Rolling Pin is a practical baking essential designed to make rolling pastry, biscuit dough and bread dough easier and more consistent. Featuring a smooth, non-stick coated metal roller, this American-style rolling pin helps prevent dough from sticking while keeping delicate pastry cooler during preparation. It's particularly useful for working with buttery doughs where temperature control is important.
Unlike traditional wooden rolling pins, the metal cylinder stays naturally cool to the touch, helping reduce the risk of butter softening too quickly when preparing shortcrust pastry, croissants or other laminated doughs. The non-stick coating allows the roller to move smoothly across your dough, making it easier to achieve an even thickness without excessive flouring.
Designed with comfortable, non-slip handles and a revolving cylinder, the KitchenCraft rolling pin provides excellent control when rolling larger sheets of pastry. Its balanced construction offers enough weight to help flatten dough efficiently without feeling cumbersome, while the durable metal design won't split or crack like some traditional wooden alternatives.

What are the benefits of a metal rolling pin compared with a wooden rolling pin?
A metal rolling pin has a naturally cool surface, which can be particularly helpful when preparing buttery pastry and laminated doughs. Unlike wood, metal doesn't absorb moisture in the same way and won't split or crack with regular use. This KitchenCraft rolling pin also features a non-stick coating and revolving cylinder, making it convenient for rolling delicate doughs.
Can I put the KitchenCraft Non-Stick Rolling Pin in the fridge before use?
Chilling a metal rolling pin can help keep its surface cooler when working with butter-rich pastry. However, check the manufacturer's care instructions before refrigerating this particular model, especially because it contains a revolving mechanism and non-slip handles. Avoid extreme temperature changes that could affect the coating or components.
How do I stop pastry from sticking to a rolling pin?
Start with properly chilled dough and a clean, dry work surface. Although the KitchenCraft rolling pin has a non-stick coating, a light dusting of flour may still be useful for particularly sticky doughs. Roll with gentle, even pressure and lift or rotate the pastry occasionally to prevent it attaching to the worktop. Avoid using sharp utensils or abrasive cleaners on the coated roller.
