Which baking utensils are essential?

After a basic kit of baking accessories? Beyond the classic bowls, measuring tools and appliances, it depends on what you're making. Baking tins and cake tins form the foundation for your cakes, tarts and loaves. Mixing bowls in different sizes are made for blending doughs and creams. Kitchen scales and measuring cups are indispensable for following precise recipes and measuring your ingredients accurately. And baking accessories like dough scrapers, pastry brushes and whisks take the work out of plenty of everyday steps.

Which baking utensils do I need at home?

To get started, you only need a handful of well-chosen pieces. A springform tin, a loaf tin and a muffin tray cover most baking recipes. With those, you can turn out sweet and savoury treats alike: cakes, cupcakes, quiches and breads. For preparing your doughs, a mixing bowl, kitchen scales and a measuring cup will usually do the job. A dough scraper, pastry brush and whisk round things off nicely. Our baking utensil sets bring the key pieces together, all designed to work as a team.

Which utensils do I need to bake my own bread?

Fancy fresh, home-baked bread made to your taste? The right utensils can make a real difference. A loaf tin or bread tin gives the dough the structure it needs. A proving basket lets air circulate while the dough rests. Precise kitchen scales matter a lot here, because every gram counts in bread-baking. A large mixing bowl for kneading and a dough scraper for tidy work round off the baking accessories. With a rustic wooden board and a sharp bread knife, you can serve your own loaf in style.

How do I store my baking accessories properly?

Keeping everything dry is the golden rule. After washing your baking utensils (some can also go in the dishwasher), let everything dry fully before putting it away. There are quite a few small helpers involved in baking and other cooking too, and they're all useful – drawer organisers keep small items like dough scrapers and pastry brushes tidy and easy to find. Kitchen cabinets and kitchen wall shelves keep the tins and bowls you reach for most within easy grasp. Storage containers and storage jars are ideal for your smaller baking kit and your baking ingredients.

Why are good-quality baking utensils worth it?

Quality really does pay off in baking. Hard-wearing materials like stainless steel and glass last for years and deliver reliably good results. They're also especially hygienic to clean – often quickly in the dishwasher, which saves you time too. Investing in good baking utensils once saves money and frustration in the long run. And quality doesn't have to mean a high price tag. At IKEA, you can pick up first-rate baking pieces at affordable prices. By the way: you can choose your baking utensils in person at your local IKEA store, or order them online from the comfort of the sofa.
