I’m going to level with you here. If you want to produce quality stuff you need the appropriate equipment to get the job done. Some of the things I am going to recommend to you might be out of your price range . You’re the best gauge of what you can afford and when. These are merely recommendations and I anticipate that this list will grow and change over time.

Small Items

  1. You need an instant read thermometer. I recommend OXO’s Thermocouple Thermometer. This will allow you to reliably gauge when things are at the appropriate internal temperature.
  2. You’ll need a stainless steel bench scraper. This will help you lift your doughs and also, clean your work space of loose particles. Other than the thermometer, this is probably the tool I use most often.
