Many of us might find ourselves experimenting with baking more during this stay-home period \— be it to satisfy a craving or trying out a new hobby. After all, it’s not tricky to whip something up with basic ingredients you can find in your kitchen. But what sets the foundation for a good set of bakes are the tools, and these ten basic baking essentials might prove to come in handy as you whip up new goodies.
Made of premium stainless steel, these mixing bowls are shiny and scratch-resistant. They also come with airtight lids, so you can pop them in the fridge to store food.
This rolling pin comes with attachable discs that can raise the rolling surface to four different sizes – 10mm, 6mm, 4mm and 2mm – ensuring that your pizza or pastry dough is rolled evenly to the thickness you prefer.
Made of food-grade silicone, this baking mat comes with a useful measuring scale so you can create a pizza or cake to the precise measurements you need.
Three-speed settings let you whip or mix up batter in the blink of an eye. The beaters are removable and can be stored in the beater storage clip at the side of the appliance, so it’ll fit neatly in your drawer.
This food-grade silicone cake pan can be used in the microwave, oven and steamer. Its patterned bottom makes for interesting cakes, too!
This set comes with two indispensable tools for the baker: a dough blender that combines your ingredients, and a bench scraper that helps you scrape, measure, cut and even transfer dough. These help to prevent your dough from getting too tough, resulting in fluffier pastry.
This digital scale comes with a backlit display and large platform for easy measuring. It also comes with two clear bowls.
This comprehensive set is perfect for a baking project with the kids: with 35 piping tips, 13 large icing sets, 2 reusable pastry bags, 1 big coupler, 2 small couplers and 1 flower nail decoration kit, you can decorate to your heart’s content.
Made of food-grade silicone, these spatulas are heat resistant up to 440 degrees Fahrenheit (226C). They also have an internal stainless steel core for added durability.
Great for both dry and liquid ingredients, each of these measuring cups are clearly marked with cup, ounce and millilitre measuring lines. For dry ingredients, the handles squeeze together and a scraper swipes across, removing any excess and leaving you with a perfectly accurate measurement.
