Pastry Boards, Mats & Liners
Marble is great for delicate pastries,
when you don't want to add a lot of flour. Marble's cool surface helps
prevent dough from sticking. Glass is also cooler than wood. (Do not use
knives to cut on these boards - their hard surface will dull knife edges
quickly and may also be damaged by them.) A moist dishtowel will keep it
steady on your counter when kneading heavily.
Care for your marble by not placing very hot items on it. The top
surface is polished smooth and will help in keeping it clean, but remember
that marble is porous, so clean off liquid spills immediately to preserve
the marble's beauty. You can always use a bit of Soft Scrub With Bleach if
necessary.
Stemming from the nature of marble and the board manufacturing
process, you may find a bit of chipping along the edges; this is normal.
Minor chipping may also occur along the edges of the boards as you move them
around in the kitchen. Not to worry; this is also quite normal and does not
affect the performance of the board. If any edges are, or become, sharp, you
can use sand paper to smooth the edges.
There is nothing like a pasta board
for kneading and rolling heavy dough. The front lip sticks down in front of
the counter edge, anchoring the board as you push and shove the dough
around. And the back board keeps flour and other ingredients from going all
over your counter.
Care for your wood pastry board by scraping off excess flour with
a plastic scraper. If you wash the board, remember to oil it on a regular
basis. Do not allow to soak, or to be stored in a humid environment, or
where it will be affected by heat, which will over-dry the wood and cause it
to eventually crack. Additional details can be found on our
Wood Care page.
Stainless steel is very hygienic,
lighter than marble or wood. If you store it in a cool place, the surface
can remain cool longer than wood, so it can also be used for delicate
pastries when you don't want to use a lot of flour.
Silicone makes a fine surface for
rolling, as virtually nothing sticks to it, yet it sticks to your counter.
Unlike the silicone baking mats, these are covered with silicone on both
sides, so they stay put and so that you can use both sides for rolling. They
are more appropriate to rolling than to baking, as they do not develop an
oily surface like the baking mats do.
Use the pastry cloth or frame if you
don't have the room to store the larger pastry boards, or if you don't want
to deal with their weight. Though not as effective, they can provide a
viable alternative. |
