Baking tools that are good to have at home
Depending on what you are baking, you’ll need different baking tools to make the job easier.
Balloon whisk
The balloon whisk is shaped like a balloon, and a perfect baking utensil for making a fluffy batter.
Rolling pin
A classic rolling pin often comes in handy when baking buns or bread.
Pastry brush
With a silicone brush, you can effectively brush your baked goods before they go into the oven, so that they get that golden brown surface.
Baking spatula
A spatula is perfect for both baking and cooking. With a spatula, you can work dough, mix and spread batter, or place batter in baking pans, for example.
Piping bags
Piping bags can be used for glazing, filling, icing, and decorating your baked goods. Different piping nozzles can be used on a piping bag depending on the decoration.
Funnels
Funnels of different sizes can make baking easier when you need to pour different liquids or ingredients between different bowls. A funnel is stable and therefore minimises the risk of spillage.
Whisk
A whisk is frequently used in baking and cooking to whisk a batter, sauce, or eggs.
Frequently asked questions about Baking tools
How do I clean my baking tools?
It depends on the material your baking utensil is made of. Plastic or metal can be washed in a dishwasher, while wooden tools should be washed by hand. All baking tools can be easily cleaned in warm water with dish soap and a sponge or dish brush.
Can I use metal tools on non-stick coated baking pans?
Metal tools should not be used on non-stick coated surfaces, as they may damage the coating. Instead, use wooden, plastic, or silicone tools to extend the life of the non-stick coating.
