    Baking Tools

    1. Measuring Cups (Liquid and Dry) and Spoons

    Baking is all about precision, so having a full set of measuring cups


    and spoons on hand is a must. Don't think you can get by with just
    one type of measuring cup, you'll need both dry and wet measuring
    cups to accurately measure all your ingredients. Keep these tools in
    a spot that's easy to reach, because you'll use them all the time.
    Most measuring spoon sets include a tablespoon, teaspoon, ½
    teaspoon, and ¼ teaspoon, while most measuring cups come in sets
    with one cup, ½ cup, ⅓ cup, and ¼ cup. For liquid measuring
    cups, you can get by with a 1-cup size, but it can be handy to have 2-
    cup and 4-cup ones in your cupboard, too.

    2. Spatula/Metal Turner

    When you need to transfer fresh-out-of-the-oven cookies to a cooling rack or


    serve a piece of cake from a 9x13 pan, there's no tool better than a good old
    spatula. Having one with a thin metal blade can be especially handy, and it'll
    be flexible enough to easily slide under anything you're moving without
    squishing the dough or crumbling your cookies.

    3. Pastry Brush

    This handy tool has more uses than you may realize. It can be used
    to grease a pan before pouring in cake batter, to coat the dough
    with melted butter or egg wash, or to "paint" milk on top of a pie
    crust.

    4. Whisk

    Wire whisk is used to beat an eggs, but it's also handy for other things.
    In particular, it's one of the best ways to thoroughly mix together dry
    ingredients. It's also great for stirring together a homemade custard.
    5. Rolling Pin

    Rolling pins are definitely most useful for rolling out pie crusts, cookie dough,
    and puff pastry, but there are other ways you can put this tool to work in your
    kitchen. For example, if you don't have a food processor and need to crush
    cookies, chips, or crackers for a recipe, just put them in a sealable bag, then
    use your rolling pin to smash them to pieces.

    6. Fine-Mesh Sieve

    You can put a sieve to work in a lot of different ways. For bakers, it's probably
    the most useful for sifting dry ingredients or adding a dusting of powdered
    sugar to a finished pan of brownies or cookies. This piece of baking equipment
    also comes in handy for draining wet ingredients (especially small items, like
    quinoa, that would slip through a regular colander) and removing seeds from
    raspberry sauces.

    7. Chef's Knife

    If you have only one knife in your whole kitchen, make it this
    one. A chef's knife is great for slicing, dicing, chopping, and
    mincing just about any ingredient your recipe calls for.

    8. Pie Plate

    Yes, the most obvious use for a pie plate is baking your own
    homemade pies, but there are other desserts that make this baking item
    useful to have around. You also can make savory pies for dinner, like
    meatball pie and taco pie, along with some frozen icebox pies. They
    work well as shallow dishes for dredging and breading meats, too.

    9. Rectangular Baking Pan

    A regular baking pan (13x9x2 inches) is a definite must-have. You can


    use it for so many sweet things—cakes, brownies, cookie bars—and,
    of course, it has savory uses as well. If you pick only one baking pan to
    stock your kitchen with, make it this one.

    10. Wire Rack

    No one wants soggy, overbaked cookies and cakes for dessert, so


    make sure you've got a wire rack on hand. This handy tool allows
    air to circulate around baked goods as they cool, so they'll taste just
    as great at room temperature as they did fresh from the oven.
