Double-Ended Pastry Roller

A small wooden roller with a head at each end of the handle: a wide one for rolling out, and a narrow one for working into corners and up the sides of a tin. You hold it in one hand and push, like a paint roller.

It does the jobs a full-length rolling pin is clumsy at. Rolling pastry directly in the tin, flattening pizza dough on its tray, pressing a biscuit base into the corners, rolling fondant on a small board — anywhere the pin's handles would hit the rim.

Why you'll love it

• Two roller widths — wide for the flat, narrow for corners.
• One-handed — the other hand steadies the tin.
• Rolls inside the tin — no lifting pastry across the kitchen.
• Solid wood — smooth rollers that take a dusting of flour.

Wipe it clean with a damp cloth and dry it at once. Don't soak wood and don't put it in the dishwasher.
