Bakeware refers to the variety of pans, trays, and molds used for baking purposes. Common items in this category include cake pans, muffin tins, cookie sheets, loaf pans, and pie dishes. Made from materials such as metal, silicone, and glass, bakeware is designed to withstand high oven temperatures and ensure even heat distribution for perfect baking results.
Sieves, also known as strainers, are mesh tools used to sift dry ingredients or strain liquids. In baking, they are primarily used to sift flour, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar to remove lumps and aerate the ingredients. Sieves come in various sizes and mesh densities and are typically made from stainless steel or plastic. They are crucial for achieving smooth, lump-free batters and doughs.
