Rolling pin

A rolling pin is a cylindrical food preparation utensil used to shape and flatten dough.

Rolling pins of different styles and materials offer varying advantages, as they are used for different tasks in cooking and baking.

Rolling pins come in a variety of sizes, shapes and materials including glass, ceramic, acrylic, bakelite, copper, brass, aluminium, silicone, wood, stainless steel, marble, and plastic.

Marble rolling pins are often cooled in a refrigerator for maintaining a cold dough while making puff pastry.
