oven
Oven is the main force of baking and an indispensable tool. Choosing a favorite oven is the first step to bake delicious western pastry. Microwave ovens can't replace ovens. Their heating principles are totally different. Not even a microwave oven with barbecue function.
Measuring spoon, kitchen scale
An absolutely indispensable tool for baking. West Point is different from Chinese food. It pays attention to quantity, and the proportion of ingredients must be accurate.
Baking tray, baking net, heat-insulating handle
Most bread, biscuits and cakes need to be baked on a baking tray. It's better to have two baking trays, which is more convenient for daily use (such as biscuits, you can't bake one tray. If you have two baking trays, you can prepare the second tray when the first tray is baking). Grilled nets can be used not only to roast chicken wings and kebabs, but also as a cooling rack for bread and cakes. The insulated handle (or gloves) can prevent you from getting burnt when you take the baking tray/baking net. Generally, these three tools will be equipped when buying an oven.
Manual egg beater and electric egg beater.
Whether it's butter, eggs or whipped cream, you need an eggbeater. When some wet ingredients are mixed together, an eggbeater is also needed.
Electric egg beater is more convenient and labor-saving, and it is very difficult to play the whole egg, so electric egg beater must be used. But electric egg beater is not suitable for all occasions. For example, when sending a small amount of butter, or when you don't need to send it, you just need to mix eggs, sugar and oil, it will be more convenient and fast to use a manual eggbeater. Therefore, both kinds of eggbeaters need to be equipped.
Rubber scraper, plastic scraper
Plastic scraper is a small but useful tool, which can be used in many occasions. When kneading dough, the dough stuck to the chopping board can be shoveled down with it. It can also help us move the shaped dough to the baking tray.
Rubber scraper is a flat soft scraper, which is suitable for mixing batter. It is the most powerful tool when making Qifeng cake and mixing egg white paste with egg yolk paste. And while stirring, it can be tightly attached to the bowl wall, scraping the cake paste attached to the bowl wall clean.
Stainless steel basin, glass bowl
At least two stainless steel pots or large glass bowls for beating eggs should be prepared, and some small bowls should be prepared to hold all kinds of raw materials.
Chopping board, rolling pin
There is no need to introduce these two things. However, it needs to be added that it is more recommended to use a non-wooden chopping board to make pasta. Such as metal and plastic chopping boards. Compared with wooden chopping boards, they are not easy to stick and not easy to breed bacteria.
Tin paper, oil paper
The baking tray is padded with paper, which is used to prevent sticking on the baking tray. Sometimes applying oil to the baking tray can also play an anti-sticking effect, but using pad paper can avoid the trouble of cleaning the baking tray. Oil paper is cheaper than tin foil. But tin foil can wrap food during barbecue to prevent water loss. In the baking process, covering the surface of food with a layer of tin foil after coloring can also play a role in preventing over-coloring.
flour sifter
Used for sieving flour or other powdery raw materials. Sieving flour can not only remove the small flour particles in flour, but also make flour more bulky, which is beneficial to mixing. If there are other powders such as cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, etc. in the raw materials, it is helpful to mix them with flour and sieve them.
Cake round mold
If you don't make a cake, it's not really baked. There must be at least one 8-inch or 6-inch cake round mold. It will be easier to demould if you buy a movable bottom mold. If you want to make Qifeng cake, don't buy a non-stick cake mold.
The second part: baking tools.
measuring glass
Like the measuring spoon, the measuring cup is also a tool for measuring quantitative raw materials. The reason why I don't list it as a necessary tool is because in my blog, basically all recipes don't use "cup" as a unit.
Decorating mouth and bag
It can be used for mounting flowers. When making cookies and puffs, you can also use them to squeeze out colorful batter. Different nozzles can extrude different patterns, and you can buy a single nozzle or a whole set as needed.
Mounting turntable
Tools for making decorated cakes. Putting the cake on the turntable can make it easy to smooth the whipped cream and decorate it.
Cake spatula
When making table flower cake, it is used to smooth the whipped cream on the cake.
Various styles of cake paper cups
It can be used to make muffin cakes and other cupcakes. There are many sizes and colors to choose from, and you can buy them according to your hobbies.
Tusimo
If you want to make toast, it is a necessary tool. It is recommended to buy 450 grams of toast mold for home production.
Circular cutting die
A set of cutting dies with different sizes can cut round dough pieces. In addition to this round shape, there are chrysanthemum-shaped cutting dies.
Tower mold, pie plate
Necessary tools for making pie and tower snacks. If you want to make this kind of west point, towers and pies are necessary. There are many specifications of pies and trays, with different sizes, shades and laces, which can be purchased as needed.
brush
Many snacks and breads need to be brushed with a layer of brush liquid before baking in order to be beautifully colored. Brush comes in handy at this time.
All kinds of tools
Coarse serrated knife is used to cut toast, fine serrated knife is used to cut cake, ordinary medium-sized knife can be used to divide dough, small spatula can be used to coat stuffing and jam, and fruit knife can be used to treat all kinds of fresh fruits as baking materials? In short, choose different tools according to different needs. Of course, you don't have to pay so much attention to it. A knife travels all over the world.
Pudding mold, cupcake mold
Used to make various puddings, cupcakes, etc. This kind of small mold has various styles, and all of them can be purchased according to their own hobbies.
bread maker
Making bread and kneading dough at home is a manual job. So many students chose the toaster. Most of the bread baked directly by the bread machine is not very delicious, so generally everyone ignores its function of baking bread and only regards it as a tool for kneading dough.
However, the shortcomings of the bread machine are also obvious. Because of low power and low kneading efficiency, it takes a long time to knead the noodles well. Moreover, the heat generated in the process of kneading dough can not be dissipated, and kneading dough for a long time will lead to too high temperature of dough. If you knead the dough by hand, you can personally feel the changing process of the dough, and it is more fun to make bread by hand.
