When it comes to baking, we’re often getting into a world of measuring in cups and tablespoons—scaling recipes up or down for different pans and being able to measure out ingredients for a tricky cake recipe quickly. A great set of bakeware can distinguish between good and bad results.
Here are the top 8 pieces of bakeware you should have in your kitchen:
The Loaf Pan is a shallow dish with handles on opposite ends that are used for making loaves of bread. The pan often has a removable rack that can be placed in one or both pans to hold the dough while it rises.
A Rectangle Pan is a baking pan that comes in different sizes, typically 14×9, 13×9, and 12×9. The pan has straight sides that form the shape of a rectangle. Rectangle pans are commonly used in cooking and baking. They are great for preparing casseroles or lasagnas because they offer plenty of room to spread the ingredients evenly. A rectangle pan also provides more space than a traditional round or square dish, making them ideal for larger containers such as lasagna or cobblers that require multiple layers of food to be prepared simultaneously and then cooked together where necessary.
Muffin pans are a great cooking utensil used to make delicious muffins and great as a non-stick bread pan. Muffin pans serve two purposes: they provide individual containers for your dough or batter and act as a mold for the finished product. They can make scones, cornbread, or baked goods in large batches.
A baking sheet is a thin aluminum and stainless steel layered plate used in baking that is designed to have a low thermal mass. The top layer absorbs heat from the oven and converts it into thermal energy, which is then transferred by convection heating air in contact with the baking sheet. This product can be used as a straight-sided, flat cake pan or a circular dome-shaped cake pan, where the dome shape provides more capacity for cakes than straight-sided pans.
The Fry Pan is a pan used to fry food. Oil would be poured onto the pan, and it is heated up until the oil reaches an appropriate temperature. The Fry Pan is angled on two sides at a slight angle so that half of it extends over an edge (usually stovetop). The food would usually be placed on top of the part that extends over the edge and flips when required to cook one side or both. It’s common for fry pans to have a non-stick coating so that food doesn’t stick during cooking. This is why most have sloped sides to make cleaning easier – should some food stick, it can just be slid off the side easily.
