My Baking Supplies

Grain Mill

• Which mill is best? I use the Mockmill 200 Professional. You don’t need that unless you mill a LOT in a short time. I was able to mill over 10 lbs of grain in my Mockmill 200 before it needed a cool down rest.

Learn about the different types before buying. My article will help you find the best mill for you.

Mixer:

• Zacme Mixers – the 5 quart will show up a KitchenAid for half the price, but it’s noise bothers me. I have and love the 7 quart, it’s quieter. The 5 and 8 quart have bowl lights, but the 7 quart does not.
  No plastic touching my food. It also has a pasta roller cutter attachment. This is the non-toxic way to make pasta, other than by hand.

Baking Prep:

• Digital food scale – my food is measured on a floured surface or in a container, get a stainless or glass if you are concerned
  Pyrex mixing bowls with lids
• Silicone pastry brushes
• Stainless steel bench scrapers
• Silicone spatulas
• Measuring spoons
• Measuring cups (I don’t use)
  I weigh everything, saving dishes and searching for cups I can never find.
• Parchment – I don’t use much, thanks to baking stones and cast iron. Instead I brush with a fat and bake non-stick and non-toxic
• Silicone bread slings – great for transferring bread to a pan or stoneware

Grain Storage:

• half gallon mason jars
• 5 gallon food safe buckets – long term storage. Concern over plastics in this case does not take priority over long term food storage. I bought my buckets used, and got Lowe’s brand screw top lids.

Bakeware

• Hamilton Beach Cast Iron electric griddleHamilton Beach cast iron electric skillet – when they come out with a waffle iron, I’ll buy it
• Tortilla Press – electric
• Waffle makers – I have antique waffle irons that cook waffles on the stove top. One is Wagner, and the other is Puritan.
• Skillets – I have Griswold and Wagner antique cast iron passed down from my grandfather. Any cast iron would work.
• Dutch oven – I love my Wagner 2.5 qt dutch oven with pyrex glass lid (antique). Lodge has this one, and the lid doubles as a skillet!
  

Baking Sheets, Pans and Dishes

• Bakers Favorite Set (pie pan, casserole, cupcake and bread pan)
• Lodge loaf pans – set of 2
• when you put one on top of the other upside down, you make a dutch oven. OR bake two loaves without the lid at the same time.
• Lodge muffin pans – set of 2 for 12 cupcakes
• Biscuit pan
• Baking Sheet (Jelly Roll Pan) 10″ x 15″
• 9×13″ Baking Dish (casserole pan)
• Pizza Pan, 15″ Round
• Pie Pan, 9 inchPie Pan, 9 inch

Toxic, but still in my kitchen

Philips Avance Pasta Extruder

This has a non-stick coated die, and plastic chamber for mixing the dough. I use brass dies instead of plastic, but it’s still definitely NOT toxin free. That said, if you really want bowtie, fusilli or other pasta that is the LEAST toxin-free, this is a great way to go using organic, freshly milled grains. At least we eliminated all the chemicals in that store-bought flour and added plenty of nutrition. I won’t be getting rid of this any time soon, until an affordable alternative comes around.

You will always get full disclosure with me – I’m not here to pretend I’m perfect, but I continue to transform items in my kitchen one at a time.
