Measuring spoons / cups:
Probably one of the most over looked tools in any baker’s kitchen are Measuring cups and measuring spoons, yet accurate measurement is essential to consistently bake great pies. Measuring cups and spoons come in many shapes and sizes, plus a wide range in prices. Make sure your measuring cups are easy to read and feel comfortable when using them. (Tip) Make sure your measuring tools fit easily into your ingredient containers and level with little overflow. (Tip) Plastic Measuring tools can be used in the microwave.
We like the MIU France 91686 Stainless Steel Measuring Cups Because of its construction quality and design. The long and slender handles help when ingredient levels are low and the round shape makes for easy pouring.
Pastry Cutter:
The pastry cutter is a great tool for incorporating cold butter into your pie dough. The (Wooden/Metal) handle along with specially designed blades makes light work of mixing process. Make sure when buying your pastry cutter that it has a sturdy handle and with solid blades
Pie Pans Pie Tins:
Make sure you use the right size pan, Pans come in sizes from 8” to 11" like this highly recommended
Kaiser La Forme Quiche Pan w/Removable Bottom 11-in
and ProductTwo and 9” like the ProductThree and ProductFour. Some unique but useful pans are the deep dish Pans such as ProductFive and ProductSix. If your looking for high quality pans you can find them at these stores. Some people like the pie pans to be part of the decoration and use porcelain pans such as PorcelainOne and PorcelainTwo.
