I'm taking a little step away from the usual, and spending the next few weeks talking about pastry fundamentals. So, sit back and enjoy a short tutorial on the Art of Pastry! First things first, your going to need some tools!
Equipment Essentials
DIGITAL SCALES
DIGITAL CANDY THERMOMETRE
Apart from the obvious, these are likely your biggest investments into the pastry realm. But of course there is much more which I refer to as small wares.
cutting board
silipat mats or parchement paper
pastry bags and tips
molds
pots and pans
pastry brushes
bowls
whisks and high temperature spatulas
bench scraper, metal or plastic
cutters
microplane, pizza wheel, scissors
ice cream machine
Also it should be noted that both Chefs and Pastry Chefs need a good set of knives. Make a wise purchase in this area, even for a pastry chef, a good set of knives is everything! Here is my latest, favorite knife maker's suggestion. This set is $300 Canadian delivered to your door. Click on the image to get more info, and to view other sets.
Stay tuned tomorrow as we move into something a little more interesting, ingredients and measurements. Cheers, enjoy the ride!
