Essential Cooking Tools
Purchasing the right cooking tools for a recipe can be an important part of making it turn out right. You’ll need everything from a whisk to a pan, as well as a variety of other essentials. Some tools are professional grade, while others are meant for light cooking. You should consider the type of food preparation that you do on a regular basis to determine which tools you need. Some are essential for every cook, while others are purely for show.
A set of baking trays is an essential addition to any kitchen. Whether you’re baking a loaf of bread, making a sauce, or preparing a casserole, you can find a tray for every need. Luckily, half-sheet trays are standard in most home ovens, and you’ll likely find that you need at least a couple of them to be effective in your kitchen. You can nest them when not in use to save space.
A half-sheet baking tray is the standard size for home ovens. If you’re planning on making something small, you can opt for a quarter-sheet pan. If you’re doing something larger, you’ll need an eighth-sheet pan. If you’re baking a big meal, this pan may not be big enough for your dish, but it can still be used to bake small items. However, if you have a smaller kitchen, you’ll need a quarter-sheet pan to fit into your pan.
