Let’s look at Baking Tools and Equipmentand how to organize them.
We all know that the right tool makes a job easier. So, here’s a list of what I consider the essential equipment and tools to outfit your kitchen.
Whether you’re a serious and experienced baker or a newbie dabbler, you’ll find some fun stuff on this list.
Of course, most of these baking items are likely already in your home if you enjoy baking.
However, if you’re new to baking, I hope this piece will serve as a starting point for your new adventure.
This essay delves into the details of Baking Tools and Equipment.
| Measuring Cups (Liquid and Dry) and Spoons | Wooden Spoon(s) |
|---|---|
| Oven | Rubber Spatula/Scraper |
| Pastry Brush | Kitchen Scissors |
| Fine-Mesh Sieve | Baking Pans/Tins |
| Rectangular Baking Pan | Rubber Scraper |
1. Measuring Cups (Liquid and Dry) and Spoons
Baking is about precision, and having a complete set of spoons and measuring cups at hand is an absolute must.
Don’t believe that you can do it with only one kind of measuring cup. You’ll need dry and wet measurement cups toprecisely measureevery ingredient.
Place these instruments easily accessible as you’ll need them frequently.
Most measuring spoon sets come with one tablespoon, a teaspoon, 1/2 teaspoon, and 1/4 teaspoon; however, most measuring cups come in packs of 1 half-cup, 1/3 cup, or 1/4 cup.
You can make do with a single cup for measuring cups for liquids. However, it is helpful to have 4-cup and 2-cup ones in your kitchen.
2. Wooden Spoon(s)
One spoon of wood is sufficient. However, this tool can be so valuable that it’s beneficial to have two around.
Wooden spoons are ideal for any stirring as they’re solid (you’ll be able to use them for even the densest,heaviest doughs).
Be sure to wash them with soap and water after use to ensure they don’t crack.
3. Oven Mitts
Oven mitts allow you to be safe when handling hot, fresh-from-the-oven loaves, cocottes, and baking trays.
Certain stores offer heat-resistant gloves, and they can also be used.
4. Rubber Spatula/Scraper
We’re willing to bet that you use your rubber scraper more frequently than you imagine.
This tool is perfect for scraping the last ounce of dough or batter from a pan or scraping every nook and cranny from thejam jar.
It is also helpful in combining dry and wet ingredients. Scrapers made of silicon will hold more up to heat than scrapers made of rubber.
5. Pastry Brush
This handy tool can be used for many uses that you didn’t know about.
For example, this tool can be utilized to oil the panbefore making a cake batter, coat the dough with butter that has been melted or an egg wash, and “paint” milk on top of thepastry crust.
But mainly, if you bake often, it’s a must-have!
6. Kitchen Scissors
When we’re creating a recipe, either baking or cooking, you’ll always have your kitchen shears.
They are helpful in many ways. For example, they can be beneficial for snippingfreshly cut herbsor cutting parchment to fit into a pan, or simply opening up containers and packages that are difficult to open.
7. Fine-Mesh Sieve
Sieves can be put to use in several ways. If you’re a baker, this is likely the best forsifting the dry componentsand adding a layer of powdered sugar to the finished baking pan of cookies or brownies.
The baking tool is also helpful in taking out liquid ingredients (especially smaller ones, such asthe quinoa, which would slide through a regular strainer) andtaking out the seeds of the raspberry sauces.
8. Baking Pans/Tins
Because it isn’t non-stick, lubricating the tin with many greases is vitally important.
Due to its metallic properties also conduct heat well and allowsbaking and heating for the dessert.
If you’re beginning your journey and looking to buy an aluminum baking tin, this baking tin is an excellent option!
9. Rectangular Baking Pan
Thetraditional baking tray(13x9x2 inches) is an absolute necessity.
You can use it for baking numerous sweet treats like cakes, brownies, cookie bars, and brownies–and there are savory applications.
Pick this one if you can only choose one baking pan to fill your kitchen.
Chapter 2: Nice-to-Have Baking Tools
| Zester/Rasp Grater | Slotted Spoon |
|---|---|
| Other Knives | Tart Pan |
| Springform Pan | Pizza Pan |
| Soufflé Dis | Blender |
| Food Processor | Fluted Tube Pan |
1.Zester/Rasp Grater
Suppose you think that using a special grater is your best method of zesting a lemon, reconsider.
While having this device in your kitchen will simplify zesting; however, it’s not essential.
If you don’t own one and need lemon zest, employ a sharp knife to cut tiny slices off the lemon and then chop them finely. Voila! Lemon zest!
2.Slotted Spoon
It is possible to use the slotted spoon more often during cooking. However, it could come in handy while baking also.
Whenmaking the custardor sauce, using a slotted spoon is the fastest and most efficient method for spooning out large quantities of spices, such as cinnamon sticks and vanilla beans.
3.Other Knives
A bread knife with serrated edges could help with some baking recipes. However, you could generally do the job with your chef’s knife and a paring knife.
If you have such knives, you can use your tomato knife to cut vegetables and fruits and your bread knife for cutting in yourfreshly baked loafwithout squashing the loaf.
4.Tart Pan
This baking gadget will be helpful for those who are a fan of tarts of all kinds.
You’ll want to invest in this pan specifically designed for baking.
However, there aren’t many applications for it other than tarts.
5.Springform Pan
The pan is equipped with an open latch that allows it to remove the sides and make it perfect for makinggenuine cheesecakesand deep-dish pizza.
However, if you’re not keen to make a traditionalNew York cheesecake, you can make various cheesecake-related recipes(like cakes and recipes that don’t require baking)with this equally good pan.
6.Pizza Pan
If you’re looking to create aperfect round pizza, it is necessary to have the pan in your kitchen.
However, if your heart isn’t fully set on a round pizza, you could bake your pizza on a standard baking sheet.
7.Soufflé Dish
The dish could be asuper-high soufflethat could be worth it for bakers who are masters at their kitchen.
However, you can skip this baking task if you’re not a regular souffle baker.
8.Blender
Blenders can speed up some recipes. However, it doesn’t offer numerous ways to use bakers besides making purees of fruit sauces orsoups.
So, it’s not surprising that if you enjoy smoothies in the morningand breakfast smoothiesbefore heading to work, it’s good to have a blender in the kitchen.
9.Food Processor
While this kitchen gadget will undoubtedly help speed specific recipes, you can usually do without it.
For example, you can crush crackers and cookies to make crusts using the help of a rolling pin or mix pie crusts in an old-fashioned bowl using a pastry knife (or two knives).
It’s not a bad idea, however. The use of a food processor will be beneficial for frequent bakers.
10.Fluted Tube Pan
This pan is essential for making classic bundts (like the stunningblueberry versiondepicted) andangel food cakes; however, you probably won’t reach for it from your cabinet more often than you’d like.
For most cake recipes, you’ll need a rectangular, or round baking dish is what you require.
Chapter 3: Pans for Baking Quick Breads, Muffins, Brownies, and Cakes
| Loaf pan | Muffin pans |
|---|---|
| Square cake pans | Round cake pans |
| Sheet pans | Parchment paper |
1. Loaf pan
Making sure you use the correct size pan will result in an attractively shaped loaf. Using too significant a pan will result in an unfit loaf on top.
The loaf pan can be an essential tool in my kitchen, as it is used for sweet and sweet baking. I’ll use it for making meatloaf.
However, I often use it for baking banana bread and similar ”quick bread” recipes.
2. Muffin pans
Muffins andcupcakesare always some of my favorites to bake, so the muffin pan is essential.
It is possible to bake a wide range of desserts in this pan, from popovers to cupcakes to muffins.
In addition, the majority of cake recipes can be modified to muffin tins by reducing baking time, which makes the pan more adaptable.
3. Square cake pans
Square cake pans that can be used for brownies and bars. Start with a 9×9-inch pan like this one byChicago Metallic.I have two small 8×8-sized pans.
4. Round cake pans
Round cake pans for baking layer cakes. I prefer using lighter aluminum cakes pans made from Wilton Performance.
Range of Wilton’s PerformanceI like baking thinner layer cakes inside cake pans that measure 6 inches.
However, it’s a good idea to have various sizes. Ideally, you’ll need two or three pans for each size to bake three or two layers of cake simultaneously.
5. Sheet pans
Sheet pans–you’ll need at minimum two half-sheet pans (18×13 inch rectangular baking sheets with rims), and, if you can, purchase some quarter-sized sheets (which are 13×10 inches rectangular pans).
They’re great for baking cakes like theMilk Bar Birthday cake. I prefer theseNordic Ware sheet pans,which are solid and durable and don’t stretch or bulge when the temperatures fluctuate.
6. Parchment paper
Paper made of parchmentwill be your most reliable partner in baking, and it is essential to keep a roll in your kitchen.
I like all of my baking pans using parchment paper on the bottom. I can ensure that my quick bread and cakes will not get stuck on the bottom.
You can undoubtedly coat and dust the inside of your pans, and it is fantastic, but parchment is as good as insurance! It’s there in the event of an occasion when something doesn’t work out as planned.
I also use the liner to cover my baking sheet pans while baking cookies.
Chapter 4: For Mixing baking tools and equipment
| Stand mixer | Electric mixer |
|---|---|
| Food processor | Whisk |
| Heat-resistant spatula | Wooden spoon |
| Bench scraper | Whisk |
1. Stand mixer
Stand mixerKitchen Aid Stand Mixer Artisan that comes with a five four-quart bowlmodel is one of the most well-known among bakers at home and is the most notable.
ItsKitchen Aid professional mixer of 6 quartsis a good choice for baking large quantities of bread dough as it has a motor that is more powerful and can take on more dough than an Artisan model.
2. Electric mixer
Electric mixer–I have a large stand mixer that is too large for small quantities of cookies and cakes.
I prefer an electric one for such occasions. The one I’m using is the one made byBraun.
3. Food processor
I use a food processor to make my simple pie dough, and I’m happy with it.
You can certainly make it at home but use your food processor to see how quickly you can create a pie! I use the11-cup food processor, and this size is perfect for making enough pie dough to make a double-crusted pie, such as thislattice rhubarb pie.
4. an Immersion blender
Immersion blender. While many people employ an immersion blender to prepare soup, it is an essential tool for baking that pastry chefs utilize every day.
It is used to mix chocolate ganache and blend flecks of chocolate while creatingthe most delicious hot chocolatemade from scratch.
I own theKitchenAid hand-mixerwith blue.
5. Whisk
After using low-quality whisks that leaked steel into lemon curds that I made myself (yuck! ), I have learned an important lesson: buy an excellent quality whisk that won’t harm your baking. I’m using theOXO balloon whisk 11 inches.
6. Heat-resistant spatula
Spatulas with heat resistance are crucial for baking; however, not all spatulas are made to be the same.
Be sure to select spatulas that are durable to heat so that the spatula can be used to stir custards on the stove and fold cake batters at ambient temperature. It’s aSpatula with GIRthat can do both jobs with ease.
6. Wooden spoon
I like wooden spoons with a sharp corner that allows you to reach the corners and edges of the saucepans to stir. OXO offers a lovelyedge spoonprecisely for this reason!
7. Bench scraper
Bench scraper–these are great to scrape doughs from mixer bowls.
They are also helpful in working on bread doughs, and you could even employ them for grinding or clearing your work surfaces after you’ve made your pastries!
I love using a dough scraper made of nylon and a steel bench scraper such as that of Nordic Ware (which I own in blue).
Chapter 5: How to Store Baking Tools and Equipment?
| Create a Baking Zone | Clear Labeled Bins |
|---|---|
| Cookie Cutters and Icing Nozzles | Silicone Mats and Baking Utensils |
| Standing Mixers and Hand Blenders | Lazy Susans |
| Wall Mounted Rolling Pin Rack | The Peg Board Display |
1.Create a Baking Zone
Have a couple of cabinets for your baking, and store everything you need in one location.
It will help you keep your kitchen organized and help you remember where you put everything. Use some clever tools, such as command hooks and lazy Susans. These can be extremely helpful in the organization of pantries of every type. Here are some storage hacks:
Choose the cabinet where you’ll use to put it in and begin.
These items like measuring spoons, cups, and whisks occupy space and are more likely to be buried behind larger vessels, making them difficult to locate.
Additionally, they are vital in baking. Therefore, the best option is to hang them up so that they are easy to access and easily located to access the kitchen utensils anytime you need them.
2.Clear Labeled Bins
Clear bins with labels are the ideal way to store decorating tools.
This helps you identify your equipment and ingredients and access your desired items quickly.
The process of sorting and grouping is the ideal method of organizing. If you own lots of pipettes and icing equipment, you can organize them
For example, tips for icing, piping bags and nozzles, icing powder, and similar things can be arranged in one bin.
Consider things such as cupcake liners, icing gels, sugars, sprinkles, and sprinkles all together in one location.
3.Cookie Cutters and Icing Nozzles
Cookie cutters are jumbled and can get lost in larger containers. The best method to arrange them is to place them in clear boxes and place them on the shelf.
If you don’t have enough shelves space or space, you could purchase an item like the crafting trolleys to organize the cookie cutters, your icing bag, and nozzles for icing.
You can group shapes alphabets, holiday themes animal shapes however you prefer. Sort them into categories, put them in separate zip locks, and finally in a clear bin.
4.Silicone Mats and Baking Utensils
It is possible to store silicone mats between pans for sheeting. You can also buy plates and place them inside them.
If you want to, you could lightly roll them up and secure them using the help of a rubber band.
It is also possible to use a vertical divider rack to keep them. The most efficient method of storing baking pans, trays, and baking dishes is to stack them.
Cooling racks, tart pans, etc., can be nestled and stackable.
Adjustable bakeware pan organizers are an absolute must-have to eliminate all that mess within your cupboards. It’s simple to take out and put away.
5.Standing Mixers and Hand Blenders
“Hide” is the word you’re seeking. If you don’t have lots in counter-space, the ideal option is to put them in cabinets.
6.Lazy Susans
Lazy Susans aren’t only intended for dining tables. They’re perfect for organizing baking tools as well.
For example, it is possible to store your essence bottles and oils, food coloring, and other similar items together on one of these. All you have to do is try it!
7. Wall-Mounted Rolling Pin Rack
The wall-mounted rolling pin rack is awe-inspiring and a huge space saver.
It’s not taking up much place in your drawers and allows you to access your rolling pins, and even displays your most expensive ones or vintage ones.
8.The Peg Board Display
Not all things have to be kept in a drawer. But what is your plan if you’re someone who would like to show their passion for baking?
But not in messy results, however. Voila! The pegboard is an excellent option to hang your beautiful bakeware.
They also help clear your countertop and, in the process, make everything accessible.
9.Display what you can
Numerous miscellaneous items cannot fit on a shelf, are sloppy, or can’t be placed in a stack or placed in.
For these items, you should get your storage containers. Of course, you’ll still have for you to mark your storage bins, but it’s a suitable method of storing that strange object in a trunk somewhat instead of letting it float around on shelves.
There are numerous instances that you have to put aside baking due to an ugly pantry or even thinking about how your kitchen can become an unorganized mess when you put the cake into the oven, or simply because you’re not sure where the majority of all your equipment for baking is.
Chapter 6: How to Organize Your Baking Tools Like aBaker?
| Countertop Organization | Pantry Organization |
|---|---|
| Creative Space | Cabinet Arrangement |
1.Countertop Organization
The countertop space in the kitchen isthe idealreal space. The countertop space should be reserved for the most commonly used or attractive items.
This is the place you’ll want to keep the wooden spoon to mix your most loved recipe to makehomemade Fudgeor the ideal rubber spatula to scoop every drop of batter out of the mixing bowl.
It is best to keep them in the closest proximity to the workspace. Since they’ll be displayed, it’s enjoyable to keep them in an heirloom vase or antique crock.
2.Pantry Organization
Most of us keep the bulk of the baking ingredients in the pantry. However, freshness is as big of a concern for an organization.
Therefore, it’s essential to keep sugars and flours in airtight containers to ensure freshness and quality marked with the ingredients in the container (so you don’t need to be unsure during baking).
The food storage containerscan be stacked and come with a practical handle.
The organization of spices and herbs is always a struggle for me. The majority of solutions available can look pretty in photos, but they’re not suitable for the many ingredients in bottles of different sizes and shapes.
Athin upright rackthat fits into the cabinet’s side is a great solution.
If your fan decorates cookies or cakes, the pantry will quickly become overwhelmed by various food colorings and sprinkles.
Because these items are small, aseparated office organizercan be a boon. It allows you to pull the entire bin quickly and swiftly locate what you’re looking for.
3.Creative Space
It seems that regardless of the size of your kitchen, it is still required
Take a hint from Julia Child andinstall pegboardsto place some of your most frequently used objects on a wall or within the door?
Think about spaces that you don’t use that aren’t being used, for example, the sides of your refrigerator.
Thisrefrigerator rack with magnetsis a clever and tiny space solution. Organize your drawers
Kitchen drawers are a great place to keep the most frequently used items that do not fit in the counter space.
This is whyan organizer for drawersis vital, especially one that is expandable to suit any space.
Also, consider using each slot to accommodate items often used in conjunction. For example, maybe your pastry blender is right next to that pastry blender.
Your offset spatula could be close to tips and piping bags. The drawers most relative to your workspace should be filled with the most frequently used things, such as hot pads or an oven mitt.
It’s also the ideal spot to stack the boxes with aluminum foils, plastic wrap, and parchment papers and hang your most-loved kitchen towels by the handles to make cleanup easier.
4.Cabinet Arrangement
Cabinets for kitchens are great for more oversized heavier items in the kitchen. These are the places you can store appliances that aren’t frequently used.
The slide-out drawersare helpful for when you need to take them out to bake.
Cabinets are also where to keep your muffin tins, cake pans, or Bundts stacked from the largest to the smallest to make space.
How to Clean Baking Tools and Equipment.
Chapter 7: How to Clean Baking Tools and Equipment
| Rolling Pins | Baking Stones |
|---|---|
| Pastry Brushes | Rolling Pins |
1. Rolling Pins
The wooden roll pin can be the centerpiece of the kitchen. Only one glance, and you’ll see if the person who owns it bakes frequently.
Rolling pins made of wood are seasoned with time, taking in the natural oils from their contact dough. Don’t wash a wood roller with soap.
Scrape any dough off the pin using a wood or plastic scraper, then clean it using hot water. Dry it using an absorbent towel.
Apply the mineral twice or three times per month, based on usage, to increase durability.
If you’re worried about bacteria in the pin, mix one teaspoon of bleach and 1 quart of water. Clean the nail using the solution and let it dry.
2.Baking Stones
Stains are commonplace on baking stones. As with other stoneware, they form an emulsion of polymerized fat that makes a nonstick surface.
The first step is to stain it, and you’ll usually need to scrape away the dirt and clean it using hot water.
For more difficult cleaning tasks, use a wire-bristled brush and a splash of hot water.
If the stone shows an uneven surface after a couple of years, gently sand it with medium-grit sandpaper, then scrub it clean.
3.Pastry Brushes
Pastry brushes don’t appear like anything. However, their bristles possess an area that is several times bigger than the brush.
Brushes made of pastry should be cleaned in the dishwasher if you can. It’s the most efficient method of getting rid of odor and oil.
If you don’t have a dishwasher clean the brush with hot soapy water several times, then rinse.
Put the meetings in a standard bleach mixture for about 15 mins to disinfect them.
