The Pique-vite and Piquot Rollers category is aimed at bakers, pastry chefs, caterers and trainers looking for a reliable solution to prevent dough from blistering before cooking. These specific tools are designed to finely pierce raw dough to limit the development of air bubbles or steam pockets during baking. Used in the manufacture of pie bases, puff pastries, pizzas or viennoiseries, they guarantee consistent, aesthetic and professional results.
The pique-vite is a small roller with fixed or movable spikes, used manually to prick dough rolls evenly. There are several types of piquot rollers: some are designed for soft doughs such as sweet or shortcrust doughs, others for firmer doughs such as industrial puff pastry or bakery dough pieces. The choice of roller will depend on a number of factors: useful width, pricking density, sturdiness of tips (plastic or stainless steel), ease of cleaning and compatibility with intensive use.
These tools save production time and avoid the wastage associated with irregular dough development. They are indispensable in laboratories where consistency and productivity are essential, particularly for mass production or blank baking. For schools or training workshops, they can also be used to teach the right gestures from the very first manipulations.
