Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Rolling Pin
Customer Review: Almost didn't purchase this due to the mixed reviews...
Summary: 5 Stars
As mentioned above, I wavered back and forth on this item because the Amazon reviews were all over the place.
I needed a rolling pin right away and I needed it to work. I wasn't going to have time for a practice run. I grew up on a wooden rolling pin so I had my heart set on a JK Adams. Bed, Bath, and Beyond assured me that they had the JK Adams line in stock. That proved to be a lie, so with much apprehension I selected the Oxo pin.
My experience with the Oxo rolling pin:
The dough I was using was a very moist gingerbread cookie dough. It makes very soft cookies but my friend warned me that rolling it was tricky due to its sticky nature.
I floured the dough on both sides and rolled it out without a problem. This pin takes a light touch. The person who assisted me had trouble with the last round of "scrap" dough. Since the dough had more flour in it by this time, she should have had an easier time, but she was very rough and heavy with the pin. So it is my guess that it was how she rolled the dough out. I think any rolling pin would have given her the same issue with that approach to that particular dough.
So in spite of the spotty reviews on Amazon, the pin I purchased locally worked like a charm. Maybe it is technique and approach to rolling that makes the difference with this pin. I also had the advantage of reading all the reviews before using the product, so automatically knew I might need to alter my "rolling skills".
I noticed that the one star reviewers were using the pin on dense sticky dough (pie crust) and dense, elastic dough (pasta). After using the pin on a soft but sticky dough, I can imagine that this pin might not be suitable for these types of dough because 1) the pin has very little friction and 2)these types of dough require some force but cannot take too much flour for rolling or they get tough.
I'll update my review when I use the rolling pin with pasta and with pie crusts.
Description of OXO Good Grips Rolling Pin

For convenient storage, the Good Grips Rolling Pin has a hole in one of its handles, perfect for hanging from a pot rack or large hook.Nonstick for easy cleanup and even dishwasher-safe, this 12-inch rolling pin has contoured handles for a safe, comfortable grip, with the handles raised to protect hands and knuckles from striking a countertop or pastry board. Because they're weighted, the handles always remain in the raised position. One handle has a hanging-hole, so the rolling pin can be stored conveniently.
