Tips and Tools That You Will Need for Baking
To many
people baking seems like an easy task, but in reality, baking is all about
math, measurements, and preciseness. When I started baking in 6th grade I had
no idea to use certain equipment’s for baking. This is a very common mistake
that people make when baking. By doing this, your finished product will
certainly not taste right or will not look like what it should look like. Today
I am here to inform you about tips and the purpose and the importance of tools
in baking.
In the picture on the left; spatulas, whisks, scoops, sift, baking paper and cupcake liners are included. These are some of the basic tools that you will need for baking. They are designed for the baking process and each have their own use. First of all, whisks help to blend the batter and incorporate air into the mixture, as air is an important factor for baking. The rounded wires helps to smooth out the batter and the hollow in between allows air to be mixed with the batter. A spatula is also a handy tool when it comes to baking. It helps us fold in ingredients without easily breaking the air bubbles that was created during the whisking process. The silicon texture grabs anything from the bottom of the bowl and help incorporate the ingredients evenly. Next the scoop was for scooping/measuring out a good proportion and serving size of the batter or dough. Lastly a sift, it’s main goal is to strain your dry ingredients or liquid that may have large chunks in it. As the authors said “you should have a fine strainer for baking and straining stocks and sauces,” (Paul, Eric 14). This will improve the quality of your finished product.
The most important part of baking is measuring out your ingredients precisely. By having a set of measuring spoons and a measuring cup can help you in lots of ways. By doing this, you will increase the quality of your finished product. To measure correctly, you use the spoon size according to the recipe and fill it to the top. To be precise, you can take a knife and level off the top
