Height adjustable rolling pin

Jo4

I would like to purchase a height adjustable rolling pin but there are different ones available, but which one is best for a complete beginner?

BTW I did do a search on rolling pins but could not find an answer to my question.

Aren't all rolling pins height adjustable? - if you want thicker pastry you don't press so hard. For thinner, press hard and keep rolling...

anyway, intrigued, I googled

and found this

I seen that one but it rolls out the makers name.

tbh I just use a bog standard wooden one.

for pastry it's more important (IMO) to chill the pastry before rolling it and not mess it about too much.

Rolling pins are also used for rolling out fondant icing and other kinds of cake decorating, not just pastry.
There a few available on Amazon, all are similar in price with good reviews. The main difference is the material that it is made from, I would say get the Wiltons one if you are using it mainly for fondant icing as it is non stick.
