What is a rolling pin？

    Talking about rolling pin, it's an indispensable helper in our kitchen! ( It's like a magical wooden stick with a rounded shape, designed to be rolled on the board, gently squeezing the soft dough to make it into the shape we want.

    A piece of wisdom passed down from ancient times, rolling pins are mostly made of wood, warm and rustic. Imagine using it to gently rotate the dough into a thin, even shape... it's a tribute to the craftsmanship that has been passed down to us.

    The rolling pin family is not small, there is a dexterous type suitable for one-handed operation, there are also two-handed power type; there is an elegant olive-shaped pie, there are also carved with the art of the model; and there is the 'walking hammer', as if with the rhythm of the dance, for the production of pasta to add a little fun.

    In Henan, the small rolling pin with pointed ends is a good companion for dumpling and wonton skins, while in Shandong, the rolling pin with a flat centre is more popular. Especially the 'walking mallet' with a hollow centre and a shaft is a wizard of noodle making!

Rolling pins come in different lengths, each with its own purpose. The long ones are used to make long, thin noodles that are as attractive as silver threads, while the short ones are used to make small, delicate pieces such as dumpling skins and pasta cakes, each of which shows the craftsman's intention.

    Depending on the purpose and type, rolling pins can also be classified into wooden rolling pin with handles, engraved wooden rolling pin, wood pastry roller and so on.

    Of course, in addition to these serious uses, rolling pins are also occasionally used to 'scare' disobedient children, although this is just a joke, but it is enough to see its versatility in our lives.
