Narrowing down 5 picks in part one was very difficult so here is a continuation of more must haves for baking👩🏻🍳
1. A quality digital thermometer - just like cooking, a thermometer that can accurately read temperatures in 1 second is key. In baking, precision is everything. This helps you check the exact temperature of water to bloom yeast and temper chocolate so that you get a nice snap💥
2. French ceramic pie dish - Cheap glass or thin metal pie pans create soggy bottom crusts bc they don’t retain and distribute heat properly. Heavy duty French ceramic dishes absorb and diffuse heat evenly, yielding a gorgeous crispy flaky crust.
3. Pure aluminum sheet pans - low quality cookie sheets warp the second it hits a hot oven. This causes hot spots that will burn one side while leaving the rest raw. A pure aluminum sheet pan will stay completely flat in the hot oven and distribute heat evenly👌
4. Pure Madagascar vanilla extract or paste - imitation vanilla extract is made from synthetic compounds (often a byproduct of wood pulp) that leaves a chemical aftertaste. Premium vanilla bean extract or paste will infuse a more complex, floral aroma in your baked goods.
5. A rolling pin - this is not pricey but a heavy hardwood rolling pin is super handy when it comes to getting an even thickness for cookies & tart crusts.
