1. Electronic scale:
An electronic scale with a minimum measurement unit of 1g and a measuring range of 5kg can meet the needs of general household use. When in use, ensure that it is placed on a stable table without hanging parts; In addition, if you weigh materials with a weight below 5g, you need to weigh them continuously, that is, weigh other heavier materials first, and then add this lighter material, so that the weighing will be accurate.
2. Measuring cups and spoons:
These two tools will be used in weighing liquid materials and a small amount of powder materials. When using, just measure the materials according to the dosage requirements in the recipe, which is very convenient to use.
3. Egg beater:
There are two types: electric and manual. Generally, liquid materials can be mixed manually. If you need to send eggs, butter and other materials, you will need to use electric egg beater. However, some electric egg beater will have an extra pair of mixing hooks. Note that this hook can't beat dough, but it can be used to mix sticky materials, such as mixing batter and stirring meat stuffing.
4. Powder sieve:
There are mainly two kinds of hand-held screens and cup-shaped screens. Hand-held sieve is widely used to sieve various powders, and can also be used to sieve homemade fillings (such as purple potato paste). Because the cup sieve can't be washed with water, it generally only screens flour, and other cups such as cocoa powder can't be used.
5. Scrapers and brushes:
Scrapers are used when making cookies and cakes, mainly by mixing different materials evenly. Brush is mainly used to brush egg liquid, and it will be used when making bread or individual biscuits.
6. Tin paper and oiled paper:
Pad in the baking tray, which is clean and anti-sticky. Usually, the two can be used interchangeably. In addition, oil paper can also be put into the mold when making cakes, which will be very convenient for demoulding. This situation can not be replaced by tin paper.
7. Thermometer:
There are two kinds, oven thermometer and probe thermometer. There is basically a temperature difference in ovens, and seasonal changes will also change this temperature difference. Then when baking things, you need to know the temperature difference of the oven in advance, and then set the temperature accordingly.
Second, baking mold:
1. Anode aluminum Qifeng cake mold:
To make a cake, a round mold is necessary for beginners. If the size is 6 inches or 8 inches, it is better to choose a general size. Moreover, this mold can not only make Qifeng cake, but also other things like sponge cake, Mu Si cake, cheese cake and even bread, which can be said to be the most used one in the mold.
2. Cake mold and paper film:
It is suggested that the cake mold and paper film be used together, because if the cake paste is directly poured into the cake mold, it will be difficult to take out after baking and it will be troublesome to clean it.
