"A tapered pin lets you feel the dough. You learn where it is thick just from how it pushes back."
Why it earns its place
- Tapered ends let you steer the dough instead of flattening it
- No handles means no bearings to seize up
- One piece of wood, nothing to break
What to look for
Solid hardwood, about 20 inches, unfinished or food-safe oiled.
