Baking Tools

Corningware's French White bakeware combines the functionality of classic designs with contemporary styling, and this seven-piece set includes everything you'll need to crank out a great meal. The 9-by-13-inch baking dish and 8-inch square dish are ideal for lasagnas, casseroles, or meats, and feature built-in handles (although, as with all Corningware and other ceramic containers, you'll always need to use potholders when handling the dishes). The tight-fitting, translucent plastic covers look cool, and each features a clever vent for microwave cooking....Read more here.

Silpat mats and bread liners have been used in professional bakeries and sandwich makers for years. Even in a commercial setting the mats will stand up to constant abuse.

I bought the Cuisinart machine after doing extensive research because it consistently got the best reviews. I absolutely love it! I was afraid that the ice cream would not be smooth enough but it is perfectly smooth and creamy. I also bought the Ben and Jerry's book and found it extremly useful. I have made both ice cream and sorbet and both turned out great. Due to other reviewers remarks I chilled the mixture in the mixing bowl for about 30 minutes in the freezer before adding to the machine. The colder the mixture is the more quickly it solidifies and the ice crystals that form are less detectable. I highly recommend this product to anyone who is interested in making ice cream.
