 Ingredients & Implements: Salt and the Rolling Pin
The rolling pin's primary function is to roll out mounds of dough evenly, but it may also be used to crush crackers and breadcrumbs or flatten chicken breasts.
Pins that are thicker in the center and thinner at both ends enable the user to easily rotate them during the rolling process, a useful capability for creating circles of dough.
Similarly, a rolling pin without handles allows the user to have their hands in direct contact with the pin, enabling them to feel the dough's thickness, monitor the rolling-out progress, and make any necessary adjustments, which are often ongoing.

The tapered rolling pin may decrease in diameter from the center to the outer edges or it be tapered only on the ends with uniform diameter across the center section.
Tapered pins are approximately 18 inches in length and are traditionally used to roll out circles of dough for pastries or croissants as the pin easily pivots on center enabling the pin to apply pressure wherever necessary to keep the dough uniforn in thickness.
The pins that taper to the center are often used to roll out thin crusts, allowing the pin to be easily rotated on the center section as the crust is rolled to a very minimal depth.
