I received one of these for my sister-in-law many years ago and it lasted me for years but I left it unattended and off of the wooden holder and it rolled off the counter and busted so be careful and aware of that when using it. This is a replacement and I absolutely have loved having a marble rolling pin because of the weight of it and the fact that it presses out the dough when I’m trying to make cookies or pie crust and things like that.
The handles on this rolling pin are fixed and won't actually allow the pin to roll freely. Pretty much defeats the purpose of a rolling pin. I will be returning this product.
I love this rolling pin! It makes baking so much easier. I had broken my old one and thought; I'll never find a replacement equally as heavy. I was thankfully wrong! A hint from Mary.... It also works great for massaging your back. I've used my old one as much for relief on my lower back as I did baking!
