Here you’ll find all my kitchen shopping recommendations. This section is brand new, but as I build this section out, I will have a category for baking/pastry/cooking ingredients, one for equipment recommendations, and one for cookbook recommendations.
We’ll take some deep dives into baking equipment like what to look for in baking pans or what’s the best rolling pin, for example. And then I’ll recommend the right tool for the right job.
Within each recommendation, I will try to add a link or two to posts that illustrate how I use the items in my cooking and baking as well.
Unless otherwise stated–and it will be stated clearly–none of these posts or recommendations are sponsored by the specific manufacturer or importer. However, all links to purchase will be affiliate links. This means I earn from qualifying purchases. Your price is unaffected.
Please use the Table of Contents to Navigate through to the different sections of this page.
Thanks for being here, and I hope you’ll find my recommendations helpful.
Must-Have Baking Tools
Let’s start here: My list of tools for serious bakers.
-
$379.95Purchase NowThis is my pick for the best mixer for home bakers. Many people will recommend a bowl-lift mixer, and I have one myself, but for ease of adding ingredients, tilt head is the way to go. The Artisan looks great, comes in a bunch of colors, and is a workhorse for people who bake every day. It's more than sufficient for the occasional baker, and it should last you for years and years.

$24.95Purchase Now How & Why to Use a Kitchen Scale
Don't let its small price and small size fool you. The Escali Primo is an accurate and easy-to-use food scale that I have used for years. It's easy to store, easy to use, has a tare function, and easily switches between grams and ounces/pounds for accurate measurements.

A French rolling pin is lightweight and the tapered ends make it very easy to roll a radius or vary pressure across the surface of the pin. I much prefer a tapered pin to a straight one.

This link is an update to my original recommendation. I need to pick these up, because OXO has improved on the original with a sleek, one-piece design. No more heads falling off!
With just these 3 spatulas, you can do 90% of your spatula work. From scraping rounded bowls (the pink one), to peanut butter jars (green) to getting into the corners of your food processor bowl (white), this is a great all-purpose set. I would even suggest getting two sets if you do a lot of cooking and baking.

Don't get a blender only to make crepes. If you have a hand mixer or stand mixer already, you can make your crepe batter with one of those.
But if you already need a good blender for smoothies, frozen drinks, etc, the Ninja is a solid choice that won't break the bank. And it will blend your crepe batter really well, too.

I love an immersion blender for blending right in a pan. It's great for stuff that doesn't have to be silky smooth, because it doesn't really have the power to do that,.
It's great for evening out the texture or even just blending in "spots" in the pan so the broth thickens up a bit while still leaving plenty of chunky bits. It may not be as powerful as a tabletop blender, but it's easier to get varying textures with a stick or immersion blender.

The OXO food mill is well-made, easy to use, easy to clean, and dishwasher safe (I wash all the parts in the dishwasher except the grinding discs). Speaking of, it comes with 3 discs for fine, medium and coarse. There is no better tool for getting a consistent texture and also removing skins and seeds without having to peel or core anything before hand.

Super useful for moving cakes from cooling racks onto cake stands, a "cake shovel" is also great for scooping several cookies at once off a cooling rack to put in containers. You can also use it as a pizza peel for making individual pizzas. I love mine and use it more frequently than I ever thought I would.

I don't consider this a strainer so much as a "skimmer." I use this guy for fishing pasta out of pasta water--I no longer bother with pouring a whole pot of pasta and water through a colander. I just lift out the pasta and put it in the sauce. I also use this for deep frying for turning the food or holding it under the fat so it cooks on all sides at once. The handle miraculously stays cool, even in 360F oil, too.

This particular model grates with less resistance than most because of the "ruffled" metal surfaces. Magic!

I love a push-pan. Easier to clean than a springform pan, and it doesn't deform the way springform pans can sometimes do. To "de-pan," all you have to do is go around the edge of the pan with a thin spatula to make sure the cake is loose. Then put the pan on a raised round surface smaller than the opening in the pan--a large can works well, Then, slowly slide the sides of the pan down and lift the cake on the base up and away. Easy!

Nielsen Massey's vanilla paste is rich, sweet, and thick. A little goes a long way, so use it sparingly. I especially like it in ice cream, creme brulee, and panna cotta: desserts where flecks of vanilla bean enhance the visual appeal of the dish.

With a protein content approaching 13%, bread made with King Arthur bread flour rises high and has a nice chew and substance to it. It's the bread flour I use at home for making pizza dough to my potato sandwich bread.

At 11.7% protein, King Arthur's all-purpose flour is also really good for bread baking. Because it has a pretty high protein content, you may not want to use it for cakes that should have a finer texture. If you do choose it for cakes, consider using the Two-Stage method for mixing to limit gluten development. Don't let that scare you away, though. I generally reach for King Arthur for everyday baking, especially if it's the only all-purpose I have on hand. And if KA AP is all you have and you want to make some bread, don't make a special trip. Your bread will be great, I promise.

White Lily is made in Tennessee, and being Tennessee-adjacent means I can almost always find White Lily on the shelves at my grocery store. I use White Lily mainly for biscuits, but it's a great all-purpose flour for cake and pastry as well. Even though it says "all-purpose," I don't recommend it for bread since it has lower protein (9%) and is much better for baked goods where tenderness is more important than chew.

If you have one of those Ooni pizza ovens or you just love a good, thin-crust pizza, you owe it to yourself to try out some 00 flour.

They'll get soggy if you add them to a water-based mixture, but you can add them to streusel or top some ice cream at the last minute. This smaller amount, about 3 cups' worth, should be more than enough to get you started. Store in a cool, dry place, and add a few desiccant packs to make sure it stays crispy.

Thai palm sugar is a wonderful ingredient to have on hand. It's what gives the floral sweetness to Thai curries, so I use it in curries, but also in other preparations that might benefit from some floral sweetness, like tea. While it comes in hard "pucks," they soften quickly in hot liquids. Use this wherever you'd normally use sugar (like maybe to a tomato sauce) to add a bit more complexity than just one-note sweetness. See it in action and learn more about it in my plum chutney post.

Instant Clear Jel is a modified food starch. In layman's terms, it means the starch has already been mixed with water and brought to a boil so it thickens. Then it is dried and ground into a powder. And now, magically it thickens almost instantly in cold liquids. This makes it perfect for making instant pudding, and it's the #2 ingredient in instant pudding right behind sugar. And it also makes it the perfect ingredient for binding up liquid in cream so that it stays whipped and beautiful for days without weeping.
