  • Cook's Tools Is Somewhat Subjective and a Matter of Preference
    COOK’S TOOLS by Alice Henneman, MS, RD, Extension Educator Having the right kitchen tools can make cooking easier and more fun! However, you don't need every tool in the store. Before you buy that next piece of kitchen equipment, check the following tips and suggestions. Share this list with a son, daughter or friend who is just beginning to purchase cooking equipment. Choosing cook's tools is somewhat subjective and a matter of preference. Use this list to help decide which tools will best fit your needs. BAKEWARE – General Tips • Foods absorb more heat and bake faster in a glass or dark metal container than a shiny metal one and may be done in less time. If substituting a dark metal or glass pan for a shiny metal pan, some bakers recommend reducing the oven temperature by 250F to make up for this faster baking time. • Foods brown more in glass and dark metal baking pans than in shiny metal ones. Some cooks bake cookies and cakes in shiny metal pans as they prefer a lighter brown color for these foods. When baking pies and breads, darker pans or glass pans may be preferable. Some people choose glass over dark metal as it is easier to see how a food is browning. • A nonstick finish on pans can be harmed if you cut foods while they’re still in this type of pan. KITCHEN TOOL DESCRIPTION/USE TIP(S) Baking Sheets • A jelly roll pan is a large flat baking • Purchase a baking sheet that is at least 2 sheet with approximately 1-inch inches smaller on each side than the inside of • Two jelly roll pans sloping sides.
