12 Baking Gadgets You Should Own

403 shares

  • Tweet

The other day my best friend called, wanting to know any tricks to making my pumpkin chocolate chip whoopie pies. When I mentioned using a cookie scoop, and she was all “Huh, what’s that?” and I was all, “Uh, it’s pretty much the greatest thing ever, besides Channing Tatum.”

The above conversation led to today’s post topic– 12 baking gadgets you should own, according to yours truly. And just so you know, this isn’t a promotional post– these are things I use religiously when I bake. I’ll even include some of my own photos as proof.

12 Baking Gadgets You Should Own

1. KitchenAid Stand Mixer
It’s basically the smartphone of kitchen appliances– I don’t know what I would do without it, and I don’t remember life without it. Last Christmas I was baking cookies with my mom in her KitchenAid-stand-mixer-less kitchen, and I was moaning in pain from having to mix the dough with my delicate lady hands. I love my mixer because it speeds up the prep process, it saves me from having to exert additional energy, and I can use the mixer for other things, like shredding chicken (omg– life changing).

I love my KitchenAid stand mixer so much it has its own spotlight.

2. KitchenAid Flex Edge Beater
If you’re going to own a KitchenAid stand mixer, you need a Flex Edge Beater. It’s the only attachment I use when making cookies and other doughy concoctions. Oh, and this puppy lasts. I’ve used it relentlessly for over 2 years and it still looks brand new.

3. Cookie scoop
I don’t know where I’d be without my cookie scoop. A cookie scoop helps keep the size of your cookies (and other scoopable treats) uniform. It keeps your fingers from getting messy, too. It also helps maintain shape which is important for things like whoopie pies.

4. Silicone spatulas
I own approximately 200 silicone spatulas (as you can see below). I use them for baking and cooking (mostly when I make scrambled eggs). Also, if I need to whip up a brownie mix I’ll use a silicone spatula versus a spoon because I can easily scrape the sides of the bowl while mixing.

5. Cooling racks
I couldn’t function without my cooling racks. I don’t even waste my time with potholders when it comes to baked goods. Cooling racks allow air to circulate around every side of your baking pan/sheet or baked good, allowing the item to cool much faster. When it comes to cookies, I typically allow them to cool (and firm up) on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them directly to the cooling racks.

6. AirBake baking sheets and pans
I’ve declared my love of AirBake baking sheets and pans in the past, and I’m still madly in love with them. Without getting all Bill Nye the Science Guy on you, they’re made of two sheets of aluminum with air space in between. “The air reduces the temperature of the metal that comes in contact with the food. This ensures that the food is heated evenly all around.” (I took that directly from the AirBake site because I’m too lazy to paraphrase.)  Basically, these baking sheets make it really difficult for you to burn something. And if you happen to overcook something it won’t necessarily burn, it’ll just be really hard. But I wouldn’t know anything about that because I’m the world’s best amateur baker.

Click here to read about my unexpected baking sheet organizer!

how to organize cookie sheetsYes, I own 8 AirBake baking sheets.

7. lettuce knife
This knife is my go-to brownie cutting knife. It glides through gooey brownies with a breeze! Here’s a knife that’s nearly identical to mine, and it’s half the price.

8. Offset spatula
I’ve been using offset spatulas since I was 10 years old. This dates back to the 4-H cake decorating days. The offset spatula is essential when it comes to icing anything– cakes, cupcakes, cookies, etc. Offset spatulas come in various sizes, but I think the 9 inch offset spatula is the best beginner model.

9. Cake decorating kit
You don’t need anything too fancy, but a basic cake decorating kit (like this one) is great to have on hand. They’re perfect for beginners. You could easily decorate a cake or get a little fancy with icing your cupcakes with only a little bit of practice.

10. Quality measuring cups
Having measuring cups and spoons in your kitchen is a given. But if you’re going to spend your money you might as well spend it on quality measuring cups (dry and liquid) and measuring spoons. I love these liquid measuring cups because you can read the measurements from the side and above.

measuring cups lquid

11. Quality measuring spoons
Like above, quality measuring spoons are also a necessity. I love these measuring spoons because the narrow ends are designed to fit most spice containers and the round ends are perfect for liquids. They’re also magnetized, which helps when it comes to storing them.

measuring spoons

12. Quality mixing bowls
I’ve had these OXO Good Grips mixing bowls for years. I’m pretty sure I’ve used and washed the small blue bowl hundreds of times. It’s the perfect size. I love these bowls because of the nonslip bottoms. When I’m forced to mix something by hand I don’t have to worry about the bowl slipping around the countertop. I also love how they have spouts, making it easier to pour batter into a pan without making a huge mess.

Well, there you have it, the 12 baking gadgets you should own. Obviously there are more baking gadgets you can invest in, but I decided to keep it simple with my most favorite gadgets.

    Man, now that my wedding is over I’ve been a crazy baker. I’ve made cupcakes twice and a cake once… and the fall cookie possibilities are blowing my mind!

    I do have to confess I’m not one for air bake…. but I’m gonna have to try it out a couple more times before I completely rule it out. We have 1 sheet like that.

    I also need to restock my parchment paper. I always forget!

    Love this post. I’ve gotten into baking more recently and NEED a kitchenaid mixer, right? We have a Ninja Kitchen System which unfortunately does everything a kitchenaid would (so far) so my husband isn’t convinced I need one….. I’m a Pampered Chef fan and use the stoneware for everything, but I may try this AirBake thing out!

    My bright red KitchenAid is one of my favorite kitchen tools, and I love a good rubber spatula too. Other favorites that aren’t on your list are mini loaf pans from Sur la Table (small loaves are better for sharing, so I don’t eat the entire batch of banana bread I just made…) and a silicone-coated whisk (so much better than the old all metal ones!) Oh, and my covered baking pans from NordicWare so I can bring my treats to work/parties.

    My hound dog got at the last batch of banana bread that I made (he seemed to think it was delish) but I’m planning to make some oatmeal-raisin cookies and maybe some dog treats while I’m furloughed for the government shutdown. In fact, I have a whole list of things to do:

    I love my kitchen aid. I don’t know what I’d do without it. But it looks like I need a new attachment for Christmas! I’ve had two cookie scoops and they have both gotten ruined. I had a pampered chef one and one from Smith’s but the metal gears wore themselves down and made groves and then the gears started skipping and they don’t work anymore. GRRRR! I love a good cookie scoop but I’m still on the hunt for one that can keep up with me.

    Hands down the best utensil I have in my kitchen: it works as a spoon, spatula, totally heat proof, fabulous. I’ve used it to death for 3 years and it still looks brand new. I like to make it a topper on wedding gifts!

    Scales, you forgot a good quality set of digital scales.
    I would put this above the cookie scoop.
    Scales give a much more accurate measure than measuring cups or spoons.
    100 grams is a 100 grams every time but a Tablespoon measure can be 15 ml or 20 ml in different parts of the world.
    Still loved reading your baking list.

    I would also add a fine Microplane grater for lemon zest, grating nutmeg, chocolate and nuts. I wouldn’t be without it. I also do not like the airbake sheets. I also love having a pastry blender. They are both small investments. I love baking cookies. See my holiday baking from 2012 http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/originals/fe/56/fa/fe56fa954a2a5f2d4a2556117fc47176.jpg

    I share a kitchen and the equipment with my Mum, who has a fabulous Kenwood Patisserie Mixer, but I’ve never used it! I’d hate to drop it getting it down to use it, ‘cos its so big and impressive!
    I generally just use a good old spatula, balloon whisk, or hand-held electric beaters.
    Those along with baking (parchment) paper, electric scales and plenty of Pyrex mixing bowls, measuring cups and jugs are my kitchen essentials.
    I’m glad to hear I’m not the only person with a thing for spatulas though. I thought having a dozen was getting excessive, but if you’re okay about having more then I’m not gonna stop buying those I like when I see them.
    By the way, I came here from Pinterest, and followed through to your Pumpkin Choc-chip Cookie recipe, which I pinned to bake later this Autumn. Thanks for the entertaining blog, I’ll be back to see what you’re doing again…

Like you…the fact that it shreds meat has changed my life forever. Really. I use my Silpat liners for rolling things out because I have a conditioned butcher block countertop. And I could never live without a really good rolling pin. I love the yellow one from Wilton so much that it actually is part of my kitchen decor.

I go through them often–I’ve gotten a couple cheap ones given to me–but they’re great for cookies and cupcakes. If you want something that makes it easy to scoop cupcake batter it’s perfect! I have anchor ware nesting bowls…LOVE them. They’re glass so they’re easy to use as a double boiler, easy to microwave, and I like the tiny bowls for cooking…Measuring spices, sauces/marinades…the list goes on and on;)

I think you hit on just about everything that I love to have while cooking and baking! In addition to the rubber spatulas, I would have to say that the narrow rubber spatulas are a favorite for me as well! The ones that can fit into jars and get every last drop out. I just broke my last one so I am missing mine! Time to go shopping! Ohhh and not so much for baking but….. I love my cast iron cookware! Great post!

    I totally agree with your selections. I have had my Kitchenaid for 15 years and my Airbake pans for decades. Great post. I don’t the flex.edge blade so maybe I need to get one.

    In my kitchen, I would be flat lost without my pizza cutter! Thanks for all these helpful hints, now I know what to ask for when people want to get me a gift!

    I have most of these items but a few questions on how you have your baking pans raises so you have room for the baking mats underneath them??

    Just reno’d my kitchen and that would work great!!

    Also, do you use your mats often or the parchment paper instead?

    I would differ on the OXO measuring cups. I have them in four sizes and the graduation from an overhead view does NOT match that on the side. The one thing a measuring cup should do is measure accurately.

    Planning to get a Kitchen Aid after the move, everyone’s responses have me feeling like a 4 year old waiting for Christmas. You know something great is coming, just not the exact day! Electronic things don’t travel well, so I choose to wait for the new house.
    Also cannot live without my Instant Pot. What an amazing invention! I out-cooked the cook in our social group with the Chicken Enchiladas, the recipe on Pinterest is approved! My latest is cooking artichokes now that they’re in season. Water at the bottom, steam tray on top, clean up the chokers, and pressure cook for 20 minutes. They cook evenly and being steamed instead of boiled, what a difference. I also lose two pounds the following morning after I eat them, so yeah I’m a fan big time, this includes unsalted butter!
    Another prize is my Vitamix. They use this at Dairy Queen, and are great for smoothies, chopping up nuts to make nut butters, a Vitamix is tougher than any blender out there. The Vitamix even has a great Mexican soup recipe included, very yummy. I also like the Silpat, use parchment, and prefer my metal bowls, to get a good Meringue the bowl needs to be chilled first. I cook with Le Creuset ware, the Dutch Oven makes food wicked good. My husband became a fan when I got him to start cooking, he calls my kitchen wares tools! In guy-eze, that’s a compliment!

    Oh!! I own the OXO Good grips bowls and I have to say.. I love them too!!! They are awesome and stay in place when you are mixing and stirring. They are super easy to clean up as well! My hand mixer is another staple in the kitchen. Couldn’t live without!
