What do you use a rolling pin?

Answer 1

A rolling pin is a rod (usually wooden) that is used to prepare food. It is most common for flattening dough. For example, pie dough is usually made by taking the ball of dough and flattening it with a rolling pin into a crust. It sometimes has small handles at the end, which you hold while you press down the rod on the food you are trying to flatten. You then "roll" the pin back and forth until your object is flattened to your liking.
