Reviews
"Really like the banneton and how it gently dries the dough just a bit on the outside when proofing (helps hold the shape it seems). For the first use I wiped the inside of the banneton with a damp cloth then lightly sprayed the banneton with water and dusted with 1/2 rice flour and 1/2 AP flour. I heavily dusted the banneton with this same flour mix prior to first loaf proof."
"I love my bread basket!!!"
"Received my Banneton as promised by Amazon, along with the two other items: the linnen cover and the dough scraper."
"The proofing basket is exactly as described...and the loaf of bread came out great!"

Reviews
"My only complaint is that it is somewhat small for my hands and if I tried to hold it normally with four fingers inside the handle, the sharp edges of the stamped metal began cutting the sides of my hand."
"Now that I'm older I have arthritis in my hands and wrists and this dough blender with it's rubber handle and sturdy tines really helps to make the job painless and I really appreciate that."
"Had had previous dough blenders before, and some that were very similar, all of which ended up with tines broken off and ineffective."
"It's a definitely sturdy product but I prefer the wire tines - this is probably best for chopping/mashing potatoes and harder items."
"It works great cutting butter into flour."
"It is sturdy and I appreciate that part of it, but the handle is a bit small (and I don't have large hands) and it could really use a thumb rest to help generate more cutting leverage."

The silicone bristles are heat resistant to 600 degrees F so you can baste in a hot pan or on the grill, and the angled Brush head keeps bristles off the countertop. Bristles never clump or frizz; Easy to clean and odor resistant.
Reviews
"Years later while glazing an oven-hot rye bread with an old paint brush... a light bulb suddenly lit up in his brain. Over the years I've used many sorts of wretched brushes to slather glaze on my loaves of bread, but now that I have this OXO brush I feel like I am on the cutting edge of science whenever I use it."
"They're sloppy, you cannot evenly baste anything and you end up using more oil or whatever you're using then if you used a real bristle brush or a spoon. It looks (keyword is LOOKS) like the "bristles" are much more tiny than that of a usual silicone basting brush."
"You should know I love OXO products for myself and all my friends and family!"
"Works well so far."
"Much better than the haired brushes that I always had to worry about losing their bristles in my food."
"This baking/pastry brush does a good job of distributing sauce on meat, etc."
"Would like it to be a bit more substantial but eventually it gets the job done."

Reviews
"Best Egg Beater ever."
"Had a cake recipe which required beating the egg whites to soft peaks. Then, the true test: after all the sugar was in, "beat for at least five minutes, or until egg whites are very firm.""
"I have had all sorts of egg beaters over the years and this one wins hands down!"
"I wanted to beat my eggs better than just using a wire whip for some recipes but didn't want to pull out my hand beater so I tried this little tool. You just wipe the handle part clean and the beater part goes in the top rack."

Best Baking Sifters

Bellemain Stainless Steel 3 Cup Flour Sifter
The Bellemain 3 Cup Flour Sifter gives the home baker plenty of room to measure out and sift a full 3 cups of flour or sugar at once. The Bellemain Sifter’s volume measurements are stamped right into the stainless steel so they are easy to read from the inside and the outside of the sifter cup. The cup gives you plenty of extra room so you know you'll always get a full 3 cup measurement, unlike other sifters that barely give you enough room and keep you guessing about measurements. CLASSIC RELIABLE HAND CRANK AND SINGLE MESH: Professionals prefer crank-style sifters over hand squeeze sifter models because they can stand up to repeated use without tiring out your hand. But the Bellemain Sifter’s hand crank operates smoothly and effortlessly - lightweight flours and sugars practically sift themselves.
Reviews
"I really hadn't bought kitchen items here before so it didn't even cross my mind to look here until all of my other options had been exhausted. I already had a similar one (my late mothers) but it wasn't Stainless Steel like this one and it was starting to get some rust and becoming unsanitary. It sifts 2 cups of flour (what I use for my biscuits) within fifteen to twenty seconds. A little longer if you try and beat up the big lumps that are left in the bottom but I dump those in the garbage can."
"I decided to go back to what I had growing up and many years ago which is what the Bellemain sifter produces and am thrilled and highly recommend this item as a fail safe!"
"I was a little disappointed with the lightweight structure of this sifter however it has worked well in the 4 to 5 times I have used it so no problems there I expected the aluminum to be a little thicker for the price since it said it was at the sale however I guess I'm more expensive one that will cost 25 to 30 bucks would be heavier and stand the test of time."
"The screen in the bottom came a little bent, but once I reshaped it, it has worked great!"
"this sifter works great and the stainless feature is a step up from the older one that was not stainless.the scraper touches the bottom of the sifter and sifts very well."
"We tossed our ancient rusted sifter a couple of years ago and did without."
"For future innovations with this sifter, I'd like to see a silicone attachment that will grip the bottom and funnel the sifted flour into a measuring cup."
"Works great my only problem is cleaning it."

"I didn't purchase these for their intended purpose but I'm very happy with them!"
"I opted for the jumbo version of these cups, which had really great reviews on AMAZON, and boy oh boy was I glad that I did. Have a great day, and please let me know if you need any more information, or if my review helped you make your choice."
"Pros: - Non-stick, muffins came out of the cup nicer than from the paper wrappings. The cups have the little grooves that the paper muffin cups have so you have to really wash and be careful to get it completely cleaned. After looking up more baking cups I couldn't find any without the typical muffin cup sides."
"I ordered the 2 sets of the standard and 1 jumbo set of the silicone baking cups at the same time about 7 days ago but they arrived separately with the jumbo coming last."
"I’ve found that my three-year old will eat things like eggs, cornbread and veggies if they’re in her favorite color, ‘just my size’ cup."
"These cups are very substantial and work very well."
"I read a comment about greasing the muffin cups and lightly greased them before making cupcakes."
"They fit well in the jumbo muffin pan, but also are sturdy enough that I can sit them on a baking sheet and bake them standing alone."

Best Rolling Pins

Joseph Joseph 20085 Adjustable Rolling Pin with Removable Rings, Multicolored
The Adjustable Rolling Pin will take the guess work out of preparing pizza and pie crusts, cookies, lasagna sheets, and filo pastry. The rolling pin has four pairs of colorful, removable discs which raise the rolling pin to the required thickness of 1/16-inch, 1/6-inch, 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch off the work surface. Rolling pin measures 16.5 inches long and 2.5 inches in diameter.
Reviews
"*This makes it difficult to roll out pie crusts for typical 9" and 10" pies, which require crusts that are 14"+ in diameter, but for a "bar pie" that goes in a rectangular dish, this is a great tool. This tool can be used to laminate dough for French pastries, such as croissants and puff pastry. It can be used to roll out dough for pasta, which has been a great help for me, due to the fact that I don't own a pasta making appliance."
"This rolling pin works great for making sure dough is rolled out evenly."
"On the other, I wish I'd gotten one without a wood surface, as it takes a TON of flour before every roll out of dough to keep the dough from sticking."
"This is a good rolling pin, just an awful size."
"All my Christmas sugar cookies were the exact same thickness which made for so much easier decorating."
"Make sure to oil it like a wooden cutting board."
"My cookies and pie crusts are always super even and come out baked perfectly."
"I've never been very good at making even thicknesses when rolling, so this is basically made of magic for me."

"Nice size bowls!"

Reviews
"This is the first cooking rack I've found that's 1) not coated with chemical non-stick and 2) spaced so tightly that food doesn't fall through. I was so tired of my chicken tenders falling through the wiring of my racks that I almost gave up. I recently sent a rack back for leaving silver metal splinters in my fingers and in my chicken."
"The first thing I did when I received this rack was make sure it would fit inside my Vollrath 5314 half-sheet pan."
"I normally place 6 pork chops (or almost 3 pounds of meat) on the rack for roasting, and the rack holds-up very firmly."
"I do a lot of gluten free cooking and cookies are the hardest to put on a cooling rack, because they tend to sag. So I lightly pan fry my chicken strips, then put on this rack over a cookie sheet in the oven."
"This is a high quality rack that fits my raised rim baking sheet perfectly."
"I can think of very little wrong with this rack."
"I was looking for a rack for dehydrating vegetables, fruits and dog treats."

Reviews
"I've listened to my wife scream and yell every Christmas for over 40 years when making Spritz cookies with the old metal screw press that she got from her mother. We found that the cookie sheets have to be free of grease AND put them in the freezer so that they are ice cold when you press the cookies. It helps them to stick to the cookie sheet and come off the press."
"Kichon Cookie Press Kit with Silicone Baking Mat - 5/10 - A lot of dough left inside the tube, poor constructed piston, not stainless steel. NuVita Cookie Press Set - 1/10 - The tube is very small, the plastic holder of the template pops off. Westmark Germany Multipurpose Stainless Steel Cookie Press and Piping Gun Decorating Kit with Recipes - 4/10 - looks and feels the same as #4, but have a metal tube."
"They are sending me another cookie press, free of charge, but based on their shipping estimate, I probably won't receive it before Christmas. I've never owned a cookie press before and a family member talked me out of it last holiday because she said they can be tricky and the dough has to be "just right". I just wanted something to make some fast, yummy treats, especially when my family gets into town later in the week. Then I added green food coloring and mint extract to make Christmas trees. I did a couple of sample cookies on a plate to make sure the dough was all pressed firmly into the cylinder. Some dough will trap itself at the top of the plunger unit, but I swished it under some water before I washed the rest of the parts to loosen it."
"The button to release the ratchet and open the unit was an awkward situation because of force required for holding down the button while pulling the cooky pusher up.This took more time and effort than pumping out a tray of cookies. Cucina pro you just rotate the handle and it slides up nice and easy."
"Works fine but a little awkward and took more strength to use than expected."
"I used it as the directions said, but my dough wouldn't come out clean."
"The very first dough I used, would not despense out of the cookie press."

"The container doesn't seem like one you can re-use, since I only removed them to photograph them, and there's a tiny mountain on the top, so I clearly won't be getting the lid back on.

If you're looking for specialty sets (such as fall leaves, or woodland animals), you might want to buy that in addition / instead of."

"I'm baffled that there are no reviews for these stamps! Reapply oil if cookie dough begins to stick to stamp. We suggest making cookie dough from scratch when using cookie stamps. Cookie stamp impressions will not be as defined if using prepackaged cookie mixes or refrigerated dough." Although they don't mention it, I would also add that you should condition the wooden hands every year or so. If you oil them once a year (No need to do more often then that- I have it marked on my calendar to condition all wooden things in my house once a year."
