Creating the perfect bake with the Kenwood preparation set
Whether you’re a keen home baker or an absolute beginner, there are some essential tools that will help make the baking process quicker and easier, and the end results more impressive.
The Kenwood preparation set is a collection of high-quality baking tools, that along with a stand mixer, no baker’s kitchen should be without. Here’s the lowdown on each of the tools and how to use them.
Stainless steel mixing bowl
Mix, whisk and fold small quantities of ingredients with ease in the 21cm diameter mixing bowl. Made from high quality stainless steel, the bowl has an adjustable rubber stand which makes it comfortable to hold as you work. Both the bowl and stand are dishwasher safe for a speedy clean up once you’re done.
Pastry brush and spatula
With soft silicone bristles, the versatile silicone pastry brush can be used to brush egg wash on dough, pastry or biscuits, or top a cake with a sweet glaze or syrup. It’s easy to clean and can withstand very hot temperatures.
Reach for the flexible silicone spatula when spreading icing, folding mixtures or scraping down mixing bowls to ensure nothing gets left behind. With an easy-grip stainless steel handle, it’s heat resistant, dishwasher safe and can be used with non-stick surfaces without fear of causing scratches.
Whisk
If you need to quickly beat a couple of eggs, aerate a mixture or combine small quantities of ingredients, the stainless steel hand whisk is ideal. The balloon shaped wires are designed for maximum efficiency when blending, and it is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
If you are using your stand mixer to make a cake batter, you can quickly whisk something to add to the mixture or make icing by hand using the whisk and bowl.
Zester and citrus press
Add a citrus kick to your cakes and bakes with the super sharp stainless steel zester and the citrus press.
Lightweight and compact, use the zester to finely grate citrus zest, which is packed with essential oils and lots of intense flavour. Or quickly extract fresh juices from lemons, limes and oranges with the citrus press, ready to infuse your mixes with a fragrant zing. Both tools are dishwasher safe.
Sifter sieve
Sifting dry ingredients like flour, sugar and cocoa aerates them and breaks up any lumps, which makes for easier mixing and better bakes. With an easy grip rim, this 15cm diameter stainless steel sifter sieve ensures only the finest ingredients go into your mix.
