Types of Baking Tools
Discover a wide variety of baking and pastry tools to help you perfect your favorite treats, from desserts like cupcakes and cookies to pies and scones. With so many kinds of tools available, it may be hard to narrow down your favorites. Explore some of the most common baking tools to help you decide what you need.
- Bench scraper. A must for helping you scrape flour from your work surface. Also great for sectioning off yeast dough.
- Flour sifter. Removes lumps and aerates flour to ensure proper baking of your favorite desserts. You can use a sifter for sugar-dusting your favorite baked goods when you don't have a dusting wand available.
- Cake leveler. Slices off the top part of the cake to make it easier to stack cakes.
- Icing spatula. Ensures precision icing on your cakes, helps smooth batter, and spreads fillings.
- Dough whisk. Great for preventing overmixing or adding too much air to your dough. These whisks are good for blending dough, mixing liquid ingredients into flour, or stirring eggs in your favorite mixing bowls.
- Pie server. A must for serving up the perfect wedge of pie.
- Pastry cutter. Makes cutting lattice strips for your pie easy and effortless. Slices through both thick and thin dough.
- Pastry brush. Pastry brushes, like those you'll find in our Williams Sonoma bakeware essentials, are a versatile tool. They are good for applying egg washes, buttering pans and even glazing meats and poultry.
- Pie weights. Ceramic pie weights help ensure even, uniform baking when your recipe calls for you to blind-bake your next crust.
- Pastry board. Designed to help you roll out dough for various foods, like pizzas, pies or cookies.
- Rolling pin. A must for any baker, a rolling pin rolls out dough smoothly and evenly.
- Baking mat. A nonstick baking mat reduces your need for parchment paper and makes it easy to remove your baked treats from the pan. No need to grease the baking sheet. It's also good for rolling out pastry dough.
What Materials Are Baking and Pastry Tools Made From?
Baking tools come in different materials, but many of the tools you'll find with us are made from durable stainless steel. Like stainless steel bakeware, stainless steel tools are built to last and won't corrode.
