The best rolling pins are made of hard, close-grained wood with a smooth finish. The ideal rolling pin is approximately 1½ inches in diameter and 32 inches long. If you have a new one, wash it with soap and water, dry it well, give it a light coat of olive oil, wipe down with a kitchen towel to absorb any excess oil, and then rub a little bit of all-purpose flour over the pin. Do this several times before using and you will have a rolling pin that will give you years of use and satisfaction.
