Helpful kitchenware
- KitchenAid Artisan Tilt-Head Stand Mixer
The KitchenAid Stand Mixer is a staple in a baker's kitchen and this is what joy feels like. It also a looker in the kitchen and brightens up your space. If you live in a small space or bakes in smaller batches, the 3.5 quart KitchenAid Artisan Mini Series Tilt-Head Stand Mixer is also a great option.
- KitchenAid 9-Speed Hand Mixer
If you don't have the storage or counter space for a stand mixer, a hand mixer works too. It's much easier to store and maneuver around with in a tight space. It's also great for making small batches. It just takes longer and you have to be more attentive when using it. I have a stand mixer, but I still find myself grabbing this handy tool quite often.
- Escali Primo Digital Scale
Recommended by <a href-"http://thesweethome.com/reviews/best-kitchen-scale/">The Sweet Home</a> as the best kitchen scale. In baking, the scale is king. I find it odd that so many recipes are written in cups and teaspoons and table spoons when weight really should be the measurement used.
- OXO Good Grips Angled Measuring Cups
Oxo always has a guarantee of quality with function and design. This set of measuring cups is especially handy with the measurements written on the angled side of it so you can read it while pouring and doesn't need to bend over and read from the side of the cup. As a designer, I truly appreciate OXO Good Grip's thoughtfulness on how people will use their products.
- Joseph Joseph 8-Piece Measuring Cups and Spoons Set
This compact set of measuring cup and spoon is simply gorgeous. Looking at it makes me happy already :)
- Admetior Kitchen Oven Large Dial Thermometer
Temperature is one of the most important variable in baking. Setting the wrong temperature could mean the difference between a beautiful soufflé or a sloppy gloop.
