Best Baking Ruler for Cooking

👤When I received this roller, I was excited to use it, but I was disappointed in the unfinished quality, I'll have to have my husband sand it to make it smooth. For the price, I would consider another purchase, though I have to say that this isn't the standard quality or craftmanship that I've known and come to trust. Don't let the roller get wet for any length of time, wash quickly and don't let it soak up any of the liquid.

👤The large roller is necessary and works well, but when you need to shape a pizza in the proper way, the arge roller cannot do it. It works and is of excellent quality. It's small enough to fit in my kitchen drawer. I have already used it many times and it's something I recommend.

👤This is a great recipe for pizza dough. I couldn't roll it out and make it by hand. I live alone in a small add on room and don't need a big rolling pin. I didn't have a place to store one. I bought this roller because it was small. Just what I needed. I bought magnetic hooks to hang my wooden roller, spurtles and spoons.

👤The roller is an essential tool and it is very useful. If you make your own tortillas, this is a God Send. The little roller is rounded and curved, so you can shape circles and edges with it. If you don't use it, it seems adequate. Some things will still require a full rolling pin. There are a lot of gadgets out there that don't get a lot of use, but for certain things this item is ideal and can get a lot of use. A definite purchase!

👤It's pretty sturdy and priced right. I like to make my own bread and pizza on a regular basis because I have limited counter space. My big rolling pin is always hitting the counter when I try to roll out pizza dough. It is small to roll out a pizza. Doesn't bang into anything. It's hard to wash up because it's raw wood, but until it gets seasoned with flour and stuff, it's not a problem. If you put it away wet, it will mold. Let it sit out or hang. That's how wood works. It's not a product. It will keep the metal from getting damaged. The product is really good. No one paid me to do this review. My big one was getting on my nerves so I wanted one of these little rollers.

👤I gave this to someone who was leaving the country and bought a new one. Before blind baking, I use to tamp down nut and crumb-type pastry crusts. Do not use a roller for pizza crusts. It will break the air bubbles and keep it from rising. Pizza should always be stretched. You don't have to twirl it, that's done for show.

👤If you want a smooth dough, you need this. The rolling pin is great for rolling dough out in tight spaces and for fine detail work, but it is not the best for rolling dough in the kitchen. The device is made of wood and metal. I would suggest the same care for a rolling pin.

👤It is dishwasher safe and the best material for kitchens. The fact that it doesn't have handles is my favorite part of the product. Most people don't use handles on rolling pins, so there is a debate about it. That isn't my problem with handles. The internal surface of the vehicle is always damp because of the axle between the handles. This design avoids that completely. The metal of the rolling pin feels very thin. I was expecting more heft, but I think this is okay. It feels like it would hit the counter. The thinness of the material makes it hard to hold the temperature long.

👤I was looking for a pin that I could wash and use for my cookie business. The quality of the pin is very good, with no dents, ding, or rough edges, but it is very light weight and very slick. It was nearly impossible to roll sugar cookie dough between sheets of paper. The cookie dough could not be rolled because it was stuck on the paper. I would like to have a water-submersible rolling pin, so I will keep experimenting and hope I can find a solution.

👤It does the job. I have rolled out multiple pie crusts with this, and they tasted exactly like I wanted them to. I like to keep it on my counter. I chose this rolling pin when we were questioning a strange noise outside. I didn't have to use it for that purpose, but it felt good in my hand, 5 stars!

👤I bought this because I thought it would be easy to clean. It's too slippery and light make it useless. I tried rolling tortillas with my palms. It kept slipping off. If you don't want it to slip out from under your hands, you need to use a lot of force to flatten it. It would not be a good idea to use it.

👤This is easy to clean. I have a problem with the flow when I am trying to roll out my dough. I don't know if it's too lightweight or if I just don't apply enough pressure, but when I roll it's not a smooth action. I wonder if it had handles.

👤I didn't like using this when baking Christmas cookies. My marble rolling pin worked better. If the dough was refrigerated, the dough still stuck to this roller. It's light, so you have to put your back into rolling dough more than I do. I kept it because it could be a problem. Each Christmas, I bake over 1,000 cookies. I would consider myself to be an advanced amateur baker.

👤This rolling pin is awesome! It's very easy to clean and it's a good solid consistency, I was worried that it would be a hollow tube, but it's solid all the way through. My husband does the rolling when we make pie crusts because he has more arm strength than I do. We had a wooden rolling pin that was driving him crazy. It was too short and the handles didn't give him enough leverage. The tube-like rolling pin allows him to apply more pressure and the size of the pin covers more rolling area than the old pin did. This is easier to store than a big wooden pin. One of the best purchases I have made.

👤I am atypical in reviewing this kitchen utensil, but I have a special appreciation for special tools that do their intended function well and have high standards for tools. I recognized this product as exceptional from the beginning. The cute little dusting wand provides a shower of flour or powdered sugar that is more uniformly distributed than I would have thought possible. I like to make my own bread and this device makes it very easy to make a mess of the dough or counter top. It's fun to use fool proof. Just buy it. You will not be sorry.

👤Good quality. The price was raised from $9.99 to $15.99. I don't think it's worth much. The good news is that you can close the ball with a twist of the arm. This is a two handed operation. For the price, you could get several small hand held bowl style sifters at $5 a piece and leave each one in your different dry goods containers. The Vollrath brand cookie sheets were highly rated by ATK and the price probably got jacked up after it was mentioned on the kitchen show.

👤I felt silly buying a dusting wand, but I love it. It has many uses in my baking. I use it to dust confectioner's sugar on some baked goods for their finish and it doesn't waste a lot. There is very little waste because I dust with confectioner's to prevent sticking. I used it to dust with cocoa powder. I have a container with a pour spout and holes in it that I can use to sprinkle corn starch or sugar on fondant. I used it to dust Swerve on a stencil over a chocolate cake. It's small enough that you don't have to put too much in a sieve or strainer, having it go all over the place, and then wasting materials. When you empty it out, it washes up nicely.

👤I use this item to make brownies. I wanted to finish them off with some powdered sugar. Dry powdered sugar can change shape. This item fixes something. To fill it, you have to turn the ball at the bottom of the handle. When you dump in some powdered sugar, you have a metal ball full of powered sugar. If you shake it over brownies, you'll get the effect you were looking for. It's nice to be able to do a stencil over a cake that is not going to ice. In this case, you would cut out a heart, place it on your cake, and then shake the powdered sugar over it. You can remove the template and have a heart in the middle of your cake. Cool! Some people call powdered sugar "icing sugar" or "confectioners sugar". Same thing.

👤It's small and cute. The end of the white handle is easy to twist. I opened the ball, took some powdered sugar, and twisted it shut to make french toast. I was able to dust about 12 pieces of french toast with only one ball full of sugar. I dumped the leftover sugar into its container after twisting it open. I didn't wash it right away because it's only ever going to have powdered sugar. It's easy to use. It doesn't take up more space in a drawer than a fork.

👤This has been a great purchase. The counter has a nice mat that stays in place while you use it. I like how thin it is. The pastry cutter is very heavy. I finally purchased both of these products. The mat is dishwasher safe. It is recommended to wash the pastry cutter.

👤It is not essential for most home kitchens, but it is useful to have around. Finally broke down and got one. This feels solid and comforting. It works well for preparing dough for pretzels.

👤It is easier to measure dough than it is to eyeball it, because it has both sides of the measurement along one side. I don't have to worry that I'll lose a finger, and I appreciate the edge guard for storage, because the cutting edge makes a cleaner cut.

👤Heavy duty scraper. The scraper is about an inch thick and will not bend. It's heavy enough to chop. The ruler is on the chopping edge. The rounded handle is slip resistant and is comfortable to hold. The hanging hole and blade cover are nice touches. Recommended.

👤I decided to get the set as it was well-priced, even though I originally wanted a dough scraper. I'm glad I got the mat. I use it all the time. It's easy to clean and it stays in place. The dough scraper works well, it is a great set.

👤The dough mat has less storage space than other items. If you bake with others, you can bring it with you. It grips the wood or granite. The dough cutter is amazing. It cuts better than a plastic dough cutter.

👤It is easy to use when cutting dough. It comes with a protective cover. It's in a drawer.

👤The scraper on the mat would probably cut through it.

👤The scraper is clean. I think it will last a long time. The mat doesn't stay on my bench. I am trying to use it to make bread, but the mat is moving. Buy the scraper on its own and save some money.

👤My daughter is a chef and uses this item at work. She said that it was as good a quality as the one she had been using at work. She uses another tool to add to her colliction.

👤I tend to make a lot of mess when cooking and I always wanted a bench scraper. I know it's mostly for pastries/bread making. I enjoy using it when cleaning up after chopping veggies. Its great!

👤I love it! I rolled my pizza dough the other day. It is non slippery and non stick. Exactly what I'm looking for. It's easy to wash and store. 100% recommended. Thanks.

👤It is quite sharp, so I have not used it on my countertop for fear of it scratching it. I only use it on my chopping block. But works well.

👤I wanted to give this product a 5 star rating because I like the feel of it. The product description states that it is 6 inches long, which is similar to most competitors. I bet Rachel Ray doesn't know she is endorsing a product that doesn't measure up to the description. I hope my 1 star rating is reviewed by Amazon. It's rare for me to give a one star rating, but I was looking forward to seeing how the extra 10% surface area compared to my old scrapper would be.

👤It was close to being what I was looking for. It says dishwasher safe, but after a wash both corners rusted. I'm pretty sure water was sucked behind the plastic and sat there for a while. Make sure it's completely dry after it's washed to avoid this.

👤I looked at the pictures and read some of the reviews and thought I would like this. I don't. I'm not buying any more of her products because of this one product. You only have one chance to make a good impression, that's what they say. I think it is sub par in both manufacturing quality and design. I wonder how her other products are. Let me tell you why. The handle is the first thing. You can't clean the closed area inside the curl. Water,bacteria and debris can get inside of it through the edge of the scrape. The opening on both sides was easy to see and let in liquid and juices. I couldn't rinse them out without running a lot of water and hoping for the best. Not good. It was covered in a protective oil. It didn't need it. That was a wasted production step and an extra cost to the company. The only reason a company would add such costs to their product is because they don't want us to find out. My husband is a metallurgist. He says that the only reason to add such a protective oil is so that it won't tarnish during storage and transport. Wow. They are coating it because they know it will show signs of rust. Good quality steel does not need an oil. It won't rust even if it sits on a shelf for a long time. Poor quality does need it. I did a magnet test on it, even though I did not show it on the video. The steel is less apt to rust because it contains more nickel. The lower percentage of nickel is the reason for poor quality STAINLESS STEEL. Steel and nickel do not rust. Steel and nickel are not magnetic. The bench was very strong. There is proof of why they oiled it. The manufacturing standards were not very good. There are too many marks on the metal. If it was better sealed, the area inside should never have been created. The leading edge was nice, but they all have that no matter what. The sides are more of a stunt than a real help. I didn't notice anything falling off the front of the scraper, so the sides would behave the same. Since the railings get in the way, you can't use them to cut dough. I will give it that it is in a drawer. It's easier to store. It's easier than one that doesn't. Half the height of the unit, about 12” worth of easier. Big whoopee. Just another thing. 2 stars mean that I don't like it, while 1 stars mean that I hate it. I really don't like it, but I don't hate it. I give it 2 stars instead of 1 because I round it up for half stars. Sides are nice for holding food in, but I don't really know how much they help. How long are you going to be holding it for? It's nice to get food out of the Beveled edge. It is easy to store in a drawer. You cannot clean and dry the area inside the grip because it attracts and holds water. The color in the picture was not as it should be. There are marks on the back of a machine. They were worried about the quality of the STAINLESS before the customer's receipt, so they didn't oiled it. The side pieces make it impossible to cut dough. If you want to improve, you can either open the side ends of the curled handle area for cleaning or make a better seal. Use a better grade. Improve the quality of manufacturing. Would I buy again? There is a No. I am returning it because of how it harbors water and debris inside the handle which is perfect for unsanitary growth ofbacteria. It is prone to rusting. It is more of a novelty than a useful thing. I hope I have helped you make a decision about this bench. I am not affiliated with the manufacturer, seller, or any other company that I might mention in this review. I do this for myself. Let me know if I helped you. If you have any questions, please post them in the Comments. I try to answer all inquires in a timely fashion. If you follow me on Amazon, you will be notified when I post new reviews. They will always be meaningful and never penny ante junk.

👤I bought this as a gift for my hubs to enter school. On his second day of school, the instructor told them to get this tool to help them, and my hubs was like, "My wife gave me one of those!" He loves it and has used it many times. Highly recommended.

👤I am the head of prep for a busy restaurant in a large city. Many of the people I work with are not classically trained chefs, but are not English speakers. We have a few of these around the restaurant and they have held up well. They are useful when you need a uniform product or have great knife skills. The other reference information is very useful for newer cooks. 5 stars.

👤This is a handy tool that does what it says it will do. A lot of thought went into it's design, as it has a lot of information that may be helpful to the novice home chef. The metal isn't easy to bend. The first ruler I received from Amazon was wiped off by the ink. I tried to measure it, but it was gradually getting onto food. I was told by Mercer that the ink was food safe and was coming off because one of the rulers didn't get baked at a high enough temperature to make the ink stick. See the photos. They gave me a new ruler and a knife. The company should have contacted the customers who purchased the product through Amazon and issued a recall instead of waiting for them to contact them, because I believe they should have done that. The company that sells them is also the company that makes them, and that kind of vertical integration produces more profits, but also makes it easier to issue a recall because Amazon could help them. If anyone else has this issue, I suggest they contact Mercer.

👤It is reliable for class work and practicals.

👤I thought I would use this less. I'm a recent newcomer to baking and cooking at home, but have gotten better at it. This is a very useful reference item that is easy to clean and hang on my fridge for quick access. It's used 2 or 3 times a week.

👤If you are going to school for food science or a friend of yours, get this! It is a life saver for the first few classes. You won't really pull it out if you get enough experience cutting and measuring. Guess the size of the rest of the chefs.

👤My daughter's professional chef teacher suggested that she purchase this product as a nice to have tool in her introductory class. This is a must have for a serious cook, after I received it. It's easy to read and use. If you have a cook in the family, I bet they would appreciate this.

👤It's a great tool for someone trying to be perfect, like me.

👤I bought 4 of this product a few years ago for three of my classmates. I have not used it since I graduated. One of my classmates dropped out before I could collect my money, so I still have an extra one. It helped in test preparation. It's not clear why you would need it. It is very high quality.

👤I use this rolling pin for pizza crusts and it works great as a traditional rolling pin but also has other great features. I am not much of a measurer, but if you are, it has a yardstick etched into the side. The spikes on the end are great for pizza, I don't understand the science but it works better when I use it. I didn't know what it was until I picked up a pizza and watched them do the same thing. It makes a difference. This tool is easy to clean, it can be thrown in the dishwasher.

👤This is great! I used to have a wooden roller that was hard to clean. I had to use a knife to remove the flour from the surface because it got stuck on it. You can't put wooden tools in the dishwasher. This is a rolling pin that is more sanitary. It looks more modern than traditional wooden rollers. I can either put it in the dishwasher or soak it in water. It's not too heavy, but also has a weight to it so it's sturdy. The meat beater is a plus. I can use it to tenderize stake and many other foods.

👤I ordered rolling pins for evaluation. I liked the pin design. They feel light and packaged well. The rolling pins need some work. 1. The measurement marks are not correct. See the photo. When the marks show 4 and 6 inches, it's time for the measurement to be done. 2. It is on the small side. It's about an inch in diameter. It would be better if it was 1.5 inch in diameter. 3. Even though the rolling pin is inside the sealed plastic, it still smelled like cutting fluid out of the paper package. I have another 18 inch polished French rolling pin that doesn't smell like that. I returned the pins. Even if they are a few dollars more, I will keep looking for better ones.

👤I was pleasantly surprised when I got this. I was expecting something heavy but not that heavy. It is light weight and fits in my hand. I don't like traditional rolling pins because they are so heavy. This thing is easy to use and sleek. I like that it is more sanitary. I might buy the bigger one.

👤I was very excited to try out my new rolling pin. The size and weight is right for rolling out circles and the measurements on it are great! The dough was easy to clean. I used the meat tenderizer end to mincing my garlic and ginger root. I highly recommend you try it.

👤We are tying to get away from plastic and get into metals because of our health and the environment. We needed a meat tenderizer and I was never in love with our current rolling pin. We decided it was a perfect upgrade after seeing this. We are giving our old rolling pin to someone else so they can use it. I didn't like how short it was. We cook from scratch as often as we can, so this steel French rolling pin is great for when I make my own pie shells, or anything else for which I will need a rolling pin. The meat tenderizer is sharp enough to tenderize the occasional meat that we make. The rolling pin is recommended because of the following reasons. 1) It's longer than a rolling pin. There are two more It's safer to use than it is to use something that will come off over time. There are 3 more It's thinner and better fit in our drawer. There are four It's safe to use. Have fun cooking.

👤What a piece of garbage. I gave it a pretty good rating after using it. Lesson should use the item for a while before rating it. I was willing to pay fifteen dollars for a rolling pin because Mat is ok, and that is why I considered it a throw in. I bought this just over 2 months ago and it broke on the 3rd use. Dough was in the fridge for 45 minutes, so what, that is a normal use, when I peeled back the roller cover I couldn't believe my eyes. I couldn't believe it was so cheap. It broke. I was blown off by the sorry check policy of Amazon. There is no return on this item. I had a phone call from customer service land the next day and they issued a refund, which was the right thing. Any good retailer would have. I always hand washed it. $5 per use. I don't want to pay good money for stuff that is garbage right out of the box.

👤I made my first project with this. The performance was great, even though the crust did stick a little, compared to other products I've used, like a maple rolling pin and a parchment paper rolling surface. I brushed on the very thin layer of flour and everything worked out. The dough ball was easy to roll out because the pin was light and heavy, but I didn't have to use a lot of strength to get it to roll out. I am happy with my purchase.

👤I love this mat and rolling pin, but when I opened the package, it was wrapped tightly and I accidentally cut the mat trying to open it. I cut through the mat because it was taped tightly with packaging tape and there was no opening. I am very happy with the product. I baked a pie. The mat made it easy to clean up and it was easy to roll out.

👤The product is made of rubber or silicone. I had to get the crackers off of the mat to make the pie. It was perfect when I rolled dough out on the mat. The mat is easy to clean and has sizing charts on it.

👤The packaging was wrapped with clear tape and could have been better. It's easy to wash things. We made cookies and oreo balls with it. Extra flour should be used to keep the dough powdered because the rolling pin can get sticky. She was able to cut her own shapes out with the cookie cutters.

👤I liked the item at first. The rolling pin does what a rolling pin should do, rolling the mat on my granite counter. I'm here to review the item after about a dozen uses. The rolling pin is my first criticism. There is a loose "flap" at the edges of the pin. It's an inch long and it attracts anything and everything. It's inconvenient and people can live with other people. The mat is thin and didn't hold up through a lot of uses. It tore right in the middle through basic washing andrinsing. I added two more stars for this. If you must buy this, only buy the roiling pin. I would suggest looking for a better set.

👤I was worried that not having rolling handles would bother me, but after using it, you realize how silly those handles are. The French style pin is easy to clean, and it's intuitive. It fits in any drawer in my kitchen. I use this pin for pizzas and tortillas, as well as some other flat breads. The pin is well made, has a good heft and solid feel to it, and has no problems. If there are any subtle flaws in the design, I am perfectly happy with this pin.

👤My mother gave me the most beautiful MARBLE rolling pin a million years ago. I liked it. It rolled dough out evenly. It was wonderful. Well, except when it wasn't. It weighed a ton. It was too heavy for the poorly constructed handle. Let's put a pin in that. I was looking for a simple biscuit cutter, and this rolling pin was one of the suggestions I received. "Sure, why not?" I asked. It arrived the next day and it's wonderful. It's sleek and smooth, easy to chill, easy to handle, and super easy to clean. Get it. Just buy it. You will wonder why you didn't buy it sooner.

👤The first one was damaged and I ordered a second one. It was a manufacturing damage. Customer service from Amazon was great. There are marks on the second replacement. There are machinery tracks on it. The material has a poor quality and I don't know what kind of chemicals it will release on my food. This goes back again. I prefer a wooden stick. The handling was not bad. Do not expect a stick that is heavier. It feels very light, which makes it hard to control my work.

👤It is in the freezer and I have to keep it cold. Due to the heat and humidity in Mexico, working with pie crust or rolled cookies is hard. Anything that can help keep my doughs cold is a plus.

👤One of my favorite purchases is the rolling pin. It is large enough to roll out dough without being too heavy. The tapered ends allow for a lot of control. I have never used this style of pin before. It is quite intuitive. I can see why this style is favored for pies because of how easy it is to pivot. Practice will make perfect. I wanted the pizza dough to be the way I wanted it to be. The thickness of the dough can be felt as you roll it. It's easy to clean and store. The feel is elegant. It's all one piece, no seams. The edges are straight. I appreciate the quality of the work. I received an email from a person I hadn't heard of, along with a dessert recipe ebook. This is a good quality at a good price. I can see this lasting for a long time.

👤I used this for the first time and it left my cookie dough grey. I had to throw out the entire batches. It was more than 30 days from purchase to use, so I'm out the money as well. Stay away.

👤A nice roller, perfect size, and the mat is really useful as it has sizing templates and measurements. It's easy to clean. Reviewers complained that the roller was rough, but I found that not to be the case. The roller was smooth. It is not noted on the packaging, but it is from China.

👤I had to replace a rolling pin. I absolutely adore this one. There is nothing to break the solid wood piece. It is easy to clean. The mat is used to help size the dough. Both items are dishwasher safe.

👤I had to sand the rolling pin to make it easier to roll dough, and the mat is a bit thin. The price is perfect and the items serve well.

👤I am very impressed with the pad. I am new to baking and used the rolling pin. The pin is nothing new and nothing special, but the pad is impressive. The diagram of measurement for those who need to know the size of their bake is provided, as is the quality of the pad. Sturdy and non slip. I recommend this to any bakers who need them.

👤The Rolling pin has some small pits, but is smooth except at the ends. There is green. I can't get off the pit. It's necessary to process replacement. Will add review update. The replacement pin still has small grooves, wood stain, and print marking, but it is better than the original. There is a serious lack of QC. Will be returning both. It was reduced to 1 star. A person feels frustrated because pins in these conditions are not appropriate for food processing.

👤The rolling pin and the mat are of great quality. I have checked pins to make dumpling skin and bake pizza with. It did a good job.

👤I didn't expect wood chips in my cookies. I took the rolling pin get out of the wrapper and noticed the ends were unfinished. It's like the manufacturer didn't finish the job. I wanted to love this roller, but it's unfortunate.

👤I need to get basic tools to start my bakery. I've been looking for a baking mat and rolling pin set for a while and found it recently. I was happy to see the quality. The wood of the rolling pin looks good and the baking mat is non-slippery, although there was a bit of smell when I opened that up, it was gone after a few times of cleaning. The measurement on the baking mat is in inches and cm.

👤Silicone is very thin, and I ripped in the middle after a few washes. The rolling pin is light, so it may need a bit of elbow grease to roll out thicker dough.

👤Have to get used to not having handles. Bigger than I anticipated.

👤I bake a lot and used to use my mom's old rolling pin with flimsy handles that got in the way more often than not. I ordered this to prevent my fingers from getting in the way of the handles, because of the tapered ends. The rolled dough has a more even thickness because there isn't as much pressure on the edges of the dough. It is sleek and smooth. I can see it lasting in my kitchen for the rest of my life. I'm 25 years old and that's a good chunk of time left.

👤Was a bit reluctant at first. I thought it was too small and heavy to do the job. I love it! I have no complaints.

👤I have to work in a small kitchen and prepare food for one or two people. The rolling pin is perfect for me. It doesn't take up a lot of storage space.

👤The pin is top notch. 13” is easy to clean. If you want a quality rolling pin that doesn't take up a lot of room, you should recommend it.

👤I needed a rolling pin to roll out pizza dough. I needed a smaller pin for my pizza. I first used it to make smashed potatoes. The rolling pin worked well, but it might have been better if it had more weight. I used it to make a pizza. It worked well, but it might have worked better if it was a bit heftier. It was easy to clean. I am happy with the product and I purchased it.

👤I use it to make flatbreads. It is easy to use and store.

👤I've been very pleased with this. When my kids were helping, I wanted a second rolling pin so they use my original one. It would have been nice if this one had been wider but it is exactly what I have been making and it is just my personal preference. It would be a perfect size for pies.

👤It is amazing how we use an item and put up with accommodating it. This pin was awesome. I didn't have to make allowances for the old school rolling pin. You'll be in love with this pin after about 30 seconds, and wonder why you haven't considered it before.
