RollingPin

A rolling pin is a long cylinder-shaped tool, often with handles on either end, used to roll out dough. Rolling pins can be made from wood, plastic, ceramic or marble.

In choosing a rolling pin, consider that:

• Handle connections may be impossible to properly clean.
• When refrigerated before use, ceramic and marble rolling pins help keep cold cookie dough from sticking.
• Ceramic and marble rolling pins are heavy, expensive, and fragile.
• Wood surfaces never really get clean.
• A wooden central rod, or wooden handles, may snap during use.
