  1. Don’t agree. I love it because I don’t have to push down which hurts my hands and arms. I gave up making noodles, etc due to being able to press down on my wooden one. I have a wooden 6” one I use for bread doughs. Thanks anyway.

  2. A marble rolling pin is great to use people just have to understand how much pressure they need when rolling out dough. When you are use to using wood pin you have to use much more body weight. Both are not wrong but it's just personal preference.

  3. I love my 40 year old marble rolling pin. My pies and cookies get rave reviews and requests for them so it must be performing just fine for me. I had a wooden one from 1970, replaced with marble. Again, it's wonderful! I highly recommend marble. Perhaps the brand and the handler make the difference.

  4. French rolling pin is definitely my preferred. It's much more versatile and you don't get those little lines from regular rolling pins.
    I would use a marble one if I had the chance but I feel like a would one gives you a little more control unless it is an extremely heavy dough

  5. I think, in part, it's what you're used to. I've always used a pin with handles. I take your point about the marble–I have one, and I have the problems you mention–but an old wooden pin with two handles seems to work fine for me.
