Start Baking with Confidence — The Essentials You Need in Your Kitchen Equipment
Baking is both an art and a science—and like any craft, it starts with the right tools. If you're new to baking, walking into a kitchen store can feel overwhelming. But don’t worry—you don’t need a hundred gadgets to bake like a pro. Just a few essential tools can set you up for success from cookies to cakes and everything in between.
At Mariot Kitchen Equipment, we help home bakers and professional pastry chefs across kitchen equipment Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi find the best tools for their Commercial kitchen equipment . Whether you're baking your first batch of cupcakes or experimenting with artisan bread, here’s your guide to the must-have baking tools for beginners.
? 1. Measuring Cups & Spoons
Baking is precise. Using the right quantity of ingredients is critical to getting the right taste and texture.
What to Get:
Dry measuring cups (for flour, sugar, etc.)
Liquid measuring cups (for milk, oil, water)
Measuring spoons (for teaspoons and tablespoons)
? 2. Mixing Bowls (Set of 3 or More)
You'll need a variety of sizes for mixing wet and dry ingredients separately. Stainless steel, glass, or BPA-free plastic bowls work best.
Tip: Nesting bowls save storage space!
? 3. Electric Hand Mixer (or Stand Mixer)
Mixing by hand is tiring and inconsistent. A hand mixer helps you beat batter, whip cream, and knead light doughs with ease. A stand mixer is even better for frequent bakers.
? 4. Rubber or Silicone Spatula
Great for scraping every bit of batter from your bowl without scratching your pans. Silicone spatulas also withstand heat—ideal for melted chocolate or butter.
? 5. Whisk
A sturdy wire whisk is essential for blending ingredients, beating eggs, or mixing thin batters like pancake mix or ganache.
Pro Tip: Use a balloon whisk for airier textures.
? 6. Baking Trays / Cookie Sheets
Flat trays are essential for cookies, pastries, and roasting. Look for non-stick surfaces or use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
? 7. Loaf Pan / Cake Pans
Start with:
One loaf pan (for banana bread or pound cake)
One or two round cake pans (8 or 9-inch)
One muffin pan (for cupcakes or muffins)
These cover 90% of beginner recipes.
? 8. Cupcake / Muffin Tray
Even if you’re not into cupcakes, this tray is great for muffins, mini quiches, and even baking meatballs or cookie cups.
Add On: Use paper liners for easy cleanup.
? 9. Sieve or Fine Mesh Strainer
Sifting flour, cocoa powder, or powdered sugar helps eliminate clumps and makes baked goods lighter and fluffier.
⏲️ 10. Oven Thermometer
Most ovens lie! An inexpensive oven thermometer ensures your baked goods cook at the correct temperature—not too hot or too cold.
? 11. Rolling Pin
Whether you're baking cookies, pie crusts, or pizza dough, a rolling pin is essential for flattening dough evenly.
Choose From:
Traditional wooden rolling pin
Silicone non-stick version (easy to clean)
? 12. Bench Scraper
Helps you divide dough, scrape surfaces, and tidy up your work area. Super helpful when working with sticky doughs like bread or pastries.
? 13. Cookie Cutters (Optional but Fun!)
If you love sugar cookies or themed treats, start a small collection of metal or plastic cutters in fun shapes.
? 14. Parchment Paper / Silicone Baking Mat
Prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze. A reusable silicone mat is eco-friendly and durable—perfect for beginner and pro bakers.
? 15. Cooling Rack
Once baked, your treats need to cool without getting soggy. Cooling racks allow airflow underneath and prevent overbaking from hot pans.
? 16. Pastry Brush
Use it for brushing melted butter, egg wash, or glaze onto dough and pastries. A silicone pastry brush is easy to clean and heat-safe.
? 17. Cake Decorating Tools (Beginner Set)
If you want to decorate cakes or cupcakes, start with:
Basic piping tips
Reusable piping bags
Offset spatula
Cake turntable (optional)
