As the economic level improves, more and more people buy ovens and start their baking journey. I originally bought an oven to make some healthy snacks and desserts for my children. I have been on the baking road for 4 years so far. Although I am amateur, I am more than enough to make it for my family. I have learned a lot of knowledge and experienced a lot of fun in this process.
Like many baking novices, I don’t even know how to choose tools when I’m beginners. I’m dazzled by the various tools, and there are all kinds of gift packs for novices. I’m so confused.
No matter which industry you enter, you will take detours at the beginning, and I am no exception. I initially bought a lot of unused tools, spent money in vain and took up space. I specially organized some common baking tools for your reference. Baking novices don’t know how to choose tools, so let’s take a look at this. All 30 commonly used tools are here.
1. Oven
Oven is a must-have, you can bake all kinds of snacks, cakes, breads, biscuits, etc. In addition to baking snacks, you can also barbecue meat. Many friends asked me what kind of oven I wanted to choose. I bought it myself from Changdi. Because it has been taken off the shelves over time, you can search for relevant information online before buying it, compare it in many aspects, and choose the oven that suits you.
2. Electronic scale
Kitchen electronic scale is a must-have. Accurately controlling the amount of materials is the first step in successful baking. When making pastry, we must use electronic scales.
3, measuring cup
0 There are capacity marks on the walls of the measuring cup, which can be used to measure materials, such as water, milk, cream, etc. For people like me who are not very particular, measuring cups are not necessary. I usually use electronic scales to weigh the amount of liquid.
4. Measuring spoon
Measuring spoon is usually made of plastic or stainless steel. It is a shallow spoon with a small handle, mainly used to hold liquid or finely divided objects. I bought it myself as a plastic one, but after I bought it, I found that it was not available. Later, the children used it as a toy for playing house. Later I found that some places also require a measuring spoon, such as weighing powder with a smaller number of grams, which cannot be weighed with an electronic scale, so I have to use a measuring spoon.
5. Electric mixer
Electric mixer contains an electric machine body, equipped with two types of mixing heads, egg beater and noodles stick. The electric stirrer can make the stirring work faster and the materials are stirred more evenly. I have bought two electric mixers in total. The first one is Dongling, which only has a beating head but no noodles stick. It has been used for about three years and is very cost-effective. Later, I changed to a Qihe one, which was more powerful than the previous one, with an egg beater and a mixing rod.
6. Egg separator
Egg separator is a utensil used to separate egg whites and egg yolks. Some experts can divide them very quickly without using egg splitters. I am more powerful. Sometimes even if you use egg splitters, you can't divide them well.
7. Long-handled scraper
Long-handled scraper is a soft, knife-like tool, an indispensable tool in the making of pastry dots. Its function is to mix all kinds of ingredients well while it can scrape the batter against the wall of the bowl cleanly. I bought one before, but later I found it was not enough, so I bought another one.

9, glass bowl

10. Flour sieve
Flour sieve is generally made of stainless steel. It is a baking tool used to filter flour. Its bottom is leaky and can be used to filter impurities contained in flour.
11. Manual mixer

18. Baking paper
Baking paper is used to bake food in the oven to prevent food from sticking to the mold and causing difficulty in cleaning. It can also ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the food.
19. Tin Foil
Tin Foil is mostly silver-white, but it is actually aluminum foil. Wrapped in tin foil when food needs to be baked can prevent burning, and also prevent moisture loss and retain umami flavor.
20. Non-stick oil cloth
