The selection of baking molds should first be based on the capacity of the oven, and the second should be based on consumption and preferences. After all, home DIY baked goods do not have additives and preservatives, and are affected by their shelf life and storage. Due to the influence of the environment, baked goods should be eaten as soon as possible. In addition, we need to have a general understanding of the types of baked goods and their embryos, so that the purchased baking molds can be of maximum use. Zhuiyang Sunflower still reminds you not to buy many molds at once without shelving them in the end.
Common home DIY items include chiffon cake, ancient cake, mousse cake and Halley cake, all of which must be made with the help of molds. As for the popular fondant cakes on the market, they have yet to be developed. Let’s study, research and practice again. Cookies, biscuits, mung bean cakes, nougat and other snacks can also be DIYed. Chinese pastries such as moon cakes, walnut cakes and fairy bean cakes require fewer baking tools. Therefore, the mold should be purchased according to the family situation.
1. Heart-shaped mousse circle (6 inches). In the hot summer, a dense, delicate and cold mousse cake is one of the indispensable desserts in home DIY baking. It is important to prepare stainless steel molds that are the right size for your oven. For a family of three, an 8-inch mousse ring is enough. Of course, in order to pursue exquisite effects, you can match it with a heart-shaped mousse ring. The mousse ring is made of stainless steel, which is easy to demould, easy to clean and non-stick. According to the recipe and method of mousse cake, use the mousse ring to fix the ingredients, put it in the refrigerator to refrigerate for a certain period of time, and then it will be the mousse cake we want after unmoulding.
2. Round mousse circle (8 inches).
3. Heart-shaped chiffon cake mold (6 inches). Chiffon cake is the basis of baking. The cake base of the birthday cake we customize in the cake shop is a chiffon cake. Cream is spread on the surface, and then the surface of the cake is decorated with decoration techniques, and it is a birthday cake. Therefore, if you want to step into the threshold of baking, it is essential to prepare a suitable chiffon cake mold in home DIY baking. Chiffon cake molds are divided into live-bottom molds and ordinary molds. The ones shown in the picture are all live-bottom molds, because the live-bottom molds are easy to release, non-stick, and easy to clean.
4. Round chiffon cake mold (8 inches).
5. Cranberry cookie/cookie shaper. It is divided into two sizes: long size (length, width and height 24.5*4*4cm) and wide size (length, width and height 20*5.5*4.3cm). It is made of carbon steel and is mainly used for shaping biscuits and fillings. It has the characteristics of non-stick, easy demolding and easy cleaning.
6. Biscuit laminating mold. If you have children at home, you may wish to prepare some, but not too much. The material should be stainless steel, which is easy to clean. It can exercise children's manual and brain abilities.
7. Mooncake mold. In addition to making mooncakes, mooncake molds can also be used to make mung bean cakes, worry-free cakes and other snacks. Its specifications include 100g, 75g, 50g, and 30g. Use 100g to make moon cakes and 30g to make mung bean cake. You don’t need to prepare too much, just plastic material.
8. Toast bread mold. If you have a food processor at home, it can greatly reduce the difficulty and labor of the bread-making process, because the kneading effect of the hand-teared film plays an important role in the taste of the bread. If you want to knead the dough purely by hand, the total process of making a piece of bread takes about 4 to 5 hours. So the toast bread mold is prepared according to the situation.
9. Heavy steel thickened ancient cake mold (9 inches, deep plate). In the past year, Guzao cake has become popular in the streets and alleys. Its fluffy and soft appearance and delicate taste are very popular with everyone. It was the main market staple before fondant cake became popular, and it once surpassed chiffon cake in popularity. Note that the mold used for ancient cakes must be deep, and any height above 4 cm is acceptable. Of course, it must be configured according to the volume of the oven. Otherwise, it will be easy to be pasty and overly colored.
10. Harley cake mold. Halley cake is very popular among children because it is small and easy to handle, and it is convenient to carry and eat when going out. The most important thing is that it tastes really good, without the taste of preservatives and additives, with moderate sweetness and not greasy. Prepare a mold like this and it will also become a favorite for home DIY baking.
11. Ordinary anti-stick cake mold (deep dish). Ordinary deep dish cake molds can be used to bake date cakes and other foods. They are not made of heavy steel, but they are non-stick and easy to clean.
12. Heavy steel thickened anti-stick cake mold (shallow plate). If you like to eat snacks such as nougat and snowflake cakes, you must prepare such a mold. Because its height is limited, it is very easy to shape the nougat and snowflake cakes, and it does not take up space in the refrigerator. You can also use it with a cranberry cookie mold to bake cranberry cookies.
13. Pizza baking pan. My family doesn't eat pizza, so I didn't prepare a pizza baking pan. When I made pizza because I missed it too much, I will explain more in detail.
Note: The height and depth of the mold are very important to the effect of the finished product. Just master this principle, that is, as long as ingredients such as whipped cream or baking soda, shortening powder, and baking powder are added, It needs to be baked in a deep pan, because the cake batter has to climb up with the help of the four walls of the mold. If the mold is not high enough or too shallow, the finished product will definitely not be fluffy or soft and will easily collapse.
This is very important!
