Baking Pan When putting your baked goods in the oven, you’re going to need a pan to place them in or on. Stoneware is an excellent choice, but it does need to be preheated for best results. Aluminum pans are another great choice. You’re going to want a number of different pans. There are cookie sheets, brownie pans, circular pans, square pans, rectangle pans, and specialty shapes. Don’t forget pie pans too. Specialty pans are great for special occasions like weddings, birthdays, and so many other parties. You can find pans in a number of different shapes from flowers to monkeys. Take a look at your local craft store, and decide what specialty shapes you just can’t live without. Those specialty pans will come in handy while taking a course on cake decorating for fun and profit. Yes, you can make money selling your baked goods once you get good at them.
Parchment Paper This particular baking tool has a number of different uses. You can line your pans to keep your baked goodies from sticking, or you can lay them out on your counters to protect that beautiful granite top from flour and sugar. It’s also a great way to store your baked goods so they don’t dry out in your refrigerator. Parchment paper is grease-resistant and moistureresistant
Wax Paper Like parchment paper, wax paper can be used for lining baking pans or storing baked goods so they don’t dry. The only difference between the two papers is really the fact that wax paper has a thin wax coating on both sides, and parchment paper is really heavy paper. Wax paper is moistureproof and nonstick.
Oven Thermometer If you’ve ever used an oven, you’re probably wondering what you would need this particular tool for. After all, ovens have dials or buttons that you push, and they’re marked with the temperature. Right? Well, the problem is that ovens tend to become faulty over time so it’s best to check the temperature manually. This way you have the perfect temperature every time you bake something. Oven temperature can make a big difference in baking so don’t consider this tool optional
Rubber Spatulas Like parchment paper, this tool has different uses. You can use it to scrape bowls so every last drop of batter ends up in the pan instead of down your sink. You can also use them to fold your more delicate ingredients, and they’re great when wanting to stir things gently by hand. Be sure to get them in a variety of sizes so you have one for whatever baking fiasco you might run into.
