1. The Baker’s Appendix

   From measurement conversions to altitude adjustments to how to cut parchment paper to line a pan, every baker needs this book!  It’s small, simple, and will answer all your kitchen questions.

   Buy The Baker’s Appendix at Amazon.

2. Silicone Baking Mat

   These are reusable and easy to clean.  I like to store them right on my baking trays so they are ready to go!

   Buy a Silicone Baking Mat at Amazon.

3. Stainless Steel Spatula

   Just the right size for getting that brownie in the middle of the pan out first.  These have a way of disappearing so it’s always nice to have a good stash!

   Buy a Stainless Steel Spatula Set at Amazon.

4. Instant Read Thermometer

   It’s so nice to have a thermometer nearby so that you don’t have to guess when your baked goods are done!

   Buy an Instant Read Thermometer at Amazon.

5. French Rolling Pin

   This style of rolling pin changed everything for me!  So much easier to control and the dough won’t stick to them!

   Buy a French Rolling Pin at Amazon.

6. Ceramic Pie Crust Weights

   These might seem fussy, but they are really handy for blind baking pie shells.

   Buy Ceramic Pie Crust Weights at Amazon.

7. Denim Jean Apron

   Studies show that recipes turn out better when the baker wears an apron.  Just kidding, but they do give you a boost of confidence, don’t you think?

   Buy a Denim Jean Apron at Amazon.

8. Parchment Paper Baking Sheets

   Precut parchment paper baking sheets are wonderful!  I’m going through about a pack a year.

   Buy Parchment Paper Baking Sheets at Amazon.

9. Maldon Sea Salt Flakes

   Maldon Salt is an English sea-salt. It comes in large, thin, uneven, crunchy saltflakes that have a very clean, pure salt taste. It is meant to be a finishing salt, used at the table in small amounts, rather than in cooking.  I’m sold.

   Buy Maldon Sea Salt Flakes at Amazon.

10. Flat Whisk

    This is a great whisk for making a roux, pan sauce, or even just hot cocoa.  I love the way the whisk lays flat on the bottom of the bowl or pan.  Very efficient whisking!

    Buy a Flat Whisk at Amazon.
