If you don't have time for rolling out dough and cutting it into dainty holiday shapes, these cookie presses might make your life a little easier. And we can imagine they'd work on all kinds of cookie...
All right, it's that time of year. What showstopper new holiday cake pan will Williams-Sonoma, Nordicware, and and all the other purveyors of fine baking goods show us this year? Here's a gallery of W...
Pies are certainly one of the easier desserts to transport. They don't slide around like cupcakes, and you don't have to worry about layers toppling, like with a frosted cake. However, it can still b...
Pie weights are small ceramic or metal balls that you use when "blind" baking a pie crust. What is blind baking? Do you have to do it? And do you need special, ceramic balls? We've got some answers......
Warm bread is very, very important to us. It's always disappointing to be served cold, clammy bread in a restaurant. When we bake for dinner we let the bread cool for an hour, slice it, then fold it q...
Uh oh - watch out! Williams-Sonoma and Nordic Ware are at it again....
We bought this dish at Cookin' in San Francisco because it is our favorite color (yes, brown) and our favorite size. Big enough to serve several guests a dip, small enough to hold a cobbler for two......
Before I attended culinary school, I thought kitchen scales were just for calorie-counters. But on Day One of my course, that myth was debunked by the giant, old-school but highly accurate scale plun...
Our only gripe about making muffins and cupcakes is the laborious ladling, spoon by spoon, of batter into the cups. We always drip and splatter everywhere, too. This little pitcher promises to make al...
OK people - it's about that time. What time, you ask? Why, when all the new specialty baking pans come out for the holidays! Here's the first new one we've seen: a pumpkin pan! Click through to see wh...
Back-to-school often means baking lots of cookies, or at least it did when I was a child. Please, tell me schools still hold bake sales and children still bring cupcakes in for their birthdays. Okay, ...
To us, these dough whisks look like a fairy princess's favorite magic wand, but apparently many bakers consider them an essential kitchen tool. Do you use one?...
As we've worked through Local Breads by Daniel Leader, we have quickly realized that we could fill our refrigerators and counter-tops with nothing but starters of various types and pedigrees. Literall...
Would you have known what this was, apart from our post title? ...
A little while back we told you about the BeaterBlade+, a new attachment for KitchenAid stand mixers. (They also have adjustable versions for other mixer models). We were initially rather skeptical; w...
A plastic bowl scraper is one of those innocuous tools that seems like it would just collect dust in the back of a drawer. And yet, we find ours useful for a whole slew of kitchen tasks far beyond s...
We saw these individual pie slice pans at King Arthur Flour yesterday and we were both charmed and bemused. Individual pie slices - would you use these? ...
Ever wonder how artisan bread bakers get such perfect round loaves every single time? Chances are that they're using a proofing basket to help the loaves keep their shape and structure through their ...
Summer make us think of birthdays. Maybe it's because several family members have birthdays in June and July, and it seems like birthday cake is on the menu every weekend. But what do you do when said...
This time of year you really don't want to keep the oven on for long. We don't want to give up our bread-baking habits, though, so if you're baking enough bread for a week, or for a big meal, take a l...

So you've invested in a pizza stone--or dusted it off from where it was hiding at the bottom of the cupboard! You're loving it when you bake your pizzas, artisan loaves, and various baked goodies. N...
We've been seeing this spoon scale around the food blogs lately, and while it's nice to think of being able to measure with such accuracy, we're curious about who would measure their cinnamon, baking ...
We obviously have pizza on the brain, because it was just yesterday we posted Breakfast Pizza and now we're practically salivating over this very expensive beehive pizza oven from Williams-Sonoma. ...
