Baking Set Buyer’s Guide
If you’re new to baking, the list of equipment, tools and pans you need can seem a little daunting. A baking set is a good option if you’re looking to dip your toe into the world of cake-making.
Baking sets come with all you need to make simple cakes, bread, pies and muffins. Available in one easy and affordable package, a baking set takes the stress away from not having the right equipment!
Not sure what to look for when it comes to the best bakeware set? Check out this buyer’s guide.
Material
Baking sets are usually made from either metal or silicone. Carbon steel bakeware is contemporary and affordable. It’s very durable, made up of thin sheets of metal and coated with non stick. These can be easily stacked and can usually be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Aluminium pans are another popular choice. Aluminium conducts heat brilliantly, helping your cake to rise evenly. It’s very affordable, and baking sets made from aluminium are often suitable for those on a budget. However, they aren’t quite so durable, as acid from citrus fruit and even cocoa powder can cause them to break down.
Silicone baking sets are the best when it comes to non stick. A breeze to clean and exceptionally easy to both use and store, silicone baking sets are popular for a reason. They have a flexible and lightweight construction which makes them great for kids’ baking.
Pieces in the Set
Baking sets are available in a range of sizes, containing just a few of the most important pans to over 20 pieces! If you’re just starting out, a smaller baking set containing a cake tin, muffin tin and baking tray will be enough. For keen or experienced bakers, the more equipment you can have to hand the better!
Ease of Cleaning
Most baking sets are designed for easy cleaning, either made from silicone or finished with a dual layer non stick coating. A non stick coating will prevent the food from getting stuck to the surface, making the pans easier to wipe clean after use.
Many baking sets can be cleaned in the dishwasher, meaning you’ll spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying your creations!
