Baking Appliances & Tools Checklist

Is there a secret to making great cake? Absolutely! Whether you are new to baking or want to get someone else prepared for the fine art of baking, here is a list of common baking tools that will surely help. Let start and see the magic happen...

1. Baking tins

With a variety of tins available in various shapes, sizes and materials, baking experts recommend heavy-duty, silver-coloured tins. Choosing dark-coloured silicone bake-ware has been observed to absorb heat thus making the sides of the cake dark. Further, you must use correct tin size and shape for the recipe or else the cooking time will have to be adjusted.

2. Cooling rack

Cooling rack is an essential piece of equipment that helps to avoid sogginess.

There are plenty of great stand mixers out there. I personally recommend using stand mixer because it has 10-speeds, making mixing, kneading and whipping a breeze.

5 Speed hand mixers are also a good option as they are turbo-powered beaters, and an ergonomically designed handle that makes it comfortable to hold. While you can use a hand mixer, this ensures a smooth mix with the push of a button.

9. Measuring Spoons / Measuring Jug / Scales

Measurements must be precise in baking and so measuring cups and spoons are very essential to measure dry and wet ingredients. People often under- or overestimate the size of a teaspoon or tablespoon. Measuring spoons ensure an accurate amount is used. Don't forget to get the glass measuring jug, too to measure liquids like oil, milk or other liquid ingredients

You can even choose a good set of scales for measuring out ingredients. You get both digital or manual ones. It is advised to go for digital as they can usually accurately measure right down to a gram or two.

10. Mixing bowls

A set of two large mixing bowls is a must. Choose glass, metal or plastic according to preference. Heatproof bowls ones are recommended so that you can put them easily in the microwave or over simmering water when melting
