Types of Baking Tools and USes
There are a wide variety of baking tools used in domestic, commercial
and industrial kitchens. The core equipment of baking is the oven. This is
where all the magic happens. Listed below are different tools and equipment
used in baking:
1. Oven: this equipment is used to provide heat which is transferred to food
items allowing them to cook. Stoves have gauges that are used to cook
food at different temperatures.
2. Electric mixers: these can be hand-held or standing. They are convenient
as they eliminate time consumption and mix ingredients to different
consistencies.
3. Mixing bowls: these are of different sizes and they are used to hold
ingredients that are being combined for different mixtures.
4. Measuring cups: they two types are dry and liquid cups. As suggested dry
cups measure dry ingredients and liquid cups measure liquid ingredients.
5. Measuring spoons: these are used to measure ingredients of small
quantities whether by teaspoons or tablespoons.
6. Wooden spoons: these are used to combine large quantities of ingredients.
7. Whisk: this utensil is used to mix ingredients of small quantities as well as
for whisking.
8. Commercial Half-Sheet Pans – Heavy-duty aluminium pans, typically 18
x 13 inches, used for cookie sheets, large-batch brownies and sponge
cakes; for protecting the oven from dripping pies; as a tray to catch
ingredients you are sprinkling on cakes or cookies; for carrying
ingredients from here to there, etc.
9. Parchment Paper – these are cut to fit cake pans, make parchment cones
and, of course, to line cookie sheet pans (half-sheet pans), making for easy
clean up. It is also handy to sift dry ingredients onto it; you can then pick
up the paper and pour ingredients right into a bowl or measuring cup.
10. Oven Thermometer – Without an independent oven thermometer, you do
not really know what temperature your oven is heating to. Poorly
calibrated ovens are pretty common and can wreak havoc with your baked
goods.
11. Rolling pin: these pins are usually made of wood and they are used to roll
dough to different measures of thickness in pastries.
12. Cake pans: there are many different types of cake pans and they are of
different sizes. Types include spring pan, 8 and 9’ baking tins, angel cake
pan and others. These are used to bake cakes of different sizes and forms.
They have taller sides which can be round, square, rectangular or have
special shapes primarily used for preparing cakes and other desserts.
13. Pie plate: this is a metallic or glass or ceramic pan shaped slightly larger
at the top than the bottom for easier removal of a fruit filled pastry.
14. Pudding pans: these are of different sizes as well and are used to bake
puddings.
15. Metal spatula: small utensil like a knife but used often to spread frosting,
level dry ingredients when measuring or slice butter.
16. Cookie scoop: size of scoop used for making drop cookies, mini muffins
or cupcakes.
17. Pastry brush: this tool is used for basting baked goods with melted butter
or brushing on glazes.
18. Casserole dishes: these are glass wares that are used to bake and serve au
gratins, casseroles as well as other dishes.
19. Pastry blender: this utensil is used to cut frim pieces of butter or
shortening so that it can be mixed with flour for pastry or dough.
20. Pizza cutter: this is used to cut pizza and similar items into attractive
slices.
21. Baking tray/sheet: these are used as platters on which one may bake items
such as cookies, meats, pizza and other items.
22. Piping bag and nozzles: these are used to provide assistance when
applying frosting or icing on cakes, muffins or cupcakes.
