I am a professional baker – 10 cooking tools that I tried and I would be delighted

I cannot be the only little girl to dream of having a whole range of Dutch ovens, all matching the same daring color. When he finally came to invest in one of mine, research all pointed out to a brand: Staub. I opted for their 5.5 QT casserole dish, very quickly realizing that it is the only Dutch oven that I should never have.

Made in France, these heavy pots are built to last, transferring transparently to cooking the stove to the searcher of the oven. Believe me: it's worth more than investment.

This can be surprising, but this set of mini spatulas is my most used article in my kitchen. In fact, I have two sets because they are just so good.

These spatulas are perfect for everything, to take the last small pieces out of a jar of honey with scrambled eggs. I find myself reaching once a day. This set has the lowest cost by using all the tools in my whole kitchen.

As a professional baker, a precise food scale can differentiate between an airy miche from Levain and a brick of uncompromising flour. I recently went to the Oxo Good Grips food scale, and it has increased my cooking game tenfold.

The unique feature of this scale is the withdrawal of withdrawal, which makes it easy to see, whatever the size of the bowl you choose. The usefulness of this scale goes far beyond a Dynamite Focaccia paste – perfectly expressed bulk grocery stores and divulating prepared meals this week.

Please accept this as my official love declaration for hand mixers. Do I have a traditional mixer and also a culinary robot? Yes. Do I have to reach one or the other half as much as I reach my hand mixer Kitchenaid? Not even close.

Soups, sauces, jams, compound butters – should I continue? I always have the exact kitchen mixer exactly where I opened my bakery with ten years, and it did not jump for beat.

You often hear chefs say that the only tool you need in your kitchen is a high quality knife – this fact has become very clear when I finally bought one for me.

I have become a big fan of the entire catalog of world knives since the purchase of my first a few years ago, but even with a drawer full of knives, I always reach the GS90 Santoku knife. The cannon lane to cane makes the vegetables chore less a chore, and the light handle adapts perfectly to my little hands.

There are dozens of digital thermometers on the market these days, whose price varies from $ 10 to more than $ 100. You can be shocked to see that the thermometer I have been trusting for over five years is one of the cheaps on the market.

I use the thermo digital thermometer for everything, to check if my roast chicken is cooked to make sure that boiled sugar is hot enough to turn into marshmallows. It is compact and easy to read, and I don't even remember the last time I needed to change the batteries – sometimes simplicity is the best in terms of cooking.

Having to feed delicious things to the people I love is a large part of the reason why I like to cook. After years of entertainment, I recently found a new favorite accommodation hack: the warming carpet of Pacolit P.

The pressure to ensure that everything on the Thanksgiving table is ready at the same time was finally lifted. This carpet has three temperature settings to prevent potato puree from cooling while you sculpt the turkey. I never organize another dinner without that.

A bench scraper is a non -negotiable tool in any kitchen in which I cook. I first learned how much they can work at hand in professional bakeries, and it turns out that they are just as useful in my home kitchen.

Divide the pizza dough, remove the flour counters and collect chopped onions – it may be the most versatile tool in my kitchen for less than $ 20! The Anaeat scraper has the additional advantage of measuring the guides, making it the perfect gift for amateur bakers.

You don't need a professional baker to know that the Kitchenaid stand mixers do not always do the best job to incorporate everything into the bowl. I owned five of their mixers, and the only thing that regularly improves each dough and dough is the Flex Edge drummer. The additional silicone cover considerably reduces the number of times I find myself scratching the bowl with a spatula, often allowing me to completely jump this frustrating step.

Whether in my home kitchen or a professional bakery, I always find that most of my waste is parchment paper. The silicone cooking carpets not only reduce my use of parchment paper, but they also avoid my pans from the wear of stuck food.

Pro advice: if you have already taken out your hair trying to master a French macaroon, a silicone mat can be the missing part.
