Tools & Supplies

The things I actually reach for — the pans, the tools, the pantry staples, and the cozy bits that make a late night in the kitchen feel like the whole point. Everything here is something I use in my own kitchen.

Baking Tools

The everyday kit — what my hands reach for on a bake day.

Oven thermometer (instant-read stainless, 100–600°F) — Ovens lie. This one tells the truth — the first thing I check when a batch comes out wrong.

Nordic Ware Naturals aluminum baking sheet, nonstick — The pan behind most of my cookies — light aluminum, even bake.

Cooling racks, stackable/collapsible, nonstick stainless — Stackable, so a whole bake day fits on one counter. Cookies firm up here.

Kitchen scale, digital rechargeable stainless — Weigh the flour and the spread problems mostly disappear.

Cuisinart Mixing Bowl Set, Stainless Steel, 3-Piece — The three-bowl set — 1.5, 3, and 5 quart, with lids.

Silicone spatulas set, 6 pieces — For folding dough and scraping every last bit out of the bowl.

KitchenAid Ribbed Soft Silicone Pot Holder 2-Pack Set, Honey, 7"x9" — Heat resistant to 500°F, and the honey color is very on-brand.

KitchenAid Albany Mini Oven Mitt 2-Pack Set, Pistachio, 5.5"x8" — Small mitts for tray pulls — pistachio, obviously.

Pantry Staples

The two things that are always in my pantry.

King Arthur All-Purpose Flour, Unbleached — The flour in my pantry, full stop.

Nielsen-Massey Pure Vanilla Bean Paste, 4 oz jar — Vanilla you can see — the specks make every cookie look like it means it.

Seasonal & Spooky

For the dark half of the year.

Nordic Ware Skull Bite Cakelet pan, 2.5 cups, bronze — Mini skulls for spooky season. Enough said.

Savory Sides

From the Thankful table.

OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Potato Ricer and Food Masher — For the Thankful table — the smoothest mashed potatoes in the guide.

Cozy Living

For after the oven's off.

Waffle knot throw blanket — Not a tool, exactly. For the slow evenings after the baking's done.

One more favorite

The apron I love: Hedley & Bennett's Essential Apron — the one with the red ampersand on the chest pocket. No link yet, just a favorite.

More coming as I find things worth keeping.
