There are a seemingly, endless number of supplies that you can buy for baking, but which ones are worth investing in? Depending on how much baking you do – and the size of your recipes – there are certain items will absolutely last longer (and work more efficiently) if you go for quality materials. Below are our list of best supplies for baking, some of which have multiple uses in the kitchen.

Best Apron: Hedley & Bennett
Former line cook Ellen Bennett designs simple, sturdy aprons made from canvas, denim and linen for restaurants from Michael Voltaggio’s ink in Los Angeles to Michael Schwartz’s Michael’s Genuine in Miami.

Best Cutting Board: Tableboards by Spinella Bread/Pastry Board
This large surface is perfect for kneading bread dough, rolling out pizza or pie dough, working with pastry dough and many other tasks. Reversible with 1 1/2″ lip on both sides to hold board in place when kneading or working with dough. The handcrafted durability of this kneading board will be valued for generations.

Best Rolling Pin: Fletchers’ Mill French Rolling Pin
This tapered pin rolls dough more efficiently than handled pins, works well for rolling both pies and cookies and is one of the easiest to clean. It’s also posh looking and sturdy enough to last a lifetime.

Best Butter: Plugrá European-Style Butter
This slow-churned butter makes your pastries flakier and sauces unbelievably creamy. Plugrá Butter contains less water than average table butter. Lower moisture helps you create cakes that rise higher and cookies that crisp more evenly.

Best Kitchen Napkins: Williams-Sonoma All-Purpose Kitchen Towels
Made of top-quality ribbed cotton terry, our kitchen towels clean like a scrubber and absorb like a sponge. The towels are ideal for lint-free drying of glassware.

Best Cake Mix: Betty Crocker SuperMoist Golden Vanilla Cake Mix
Sometimes, we cannot all be Betty Crocker, so why next be able to grab the next best thing – her cake mix. 😉 This mix makes a cake with a delightful light and fluffy texture.

Best Cake Stand: Bed Bath & Beyond Everyday White® Large Footed Cake Server
Presentation is everything. In pristine white porcelain with wide rims, this cake stand makes every cake or cheese tray special. Always posh, it adds a classic element to your table, whether used on its own or mixed with your favorite dinnerware.

Best Pie Pan: Emile Henry Pie Dish
A good pie, which melts in the mouth, needs to be cooked evenly and gently, without drying out. The secret is the earthenware dish. It can go straight from the freezer to the oven, which is helpful because we often freeze my fruit pies before baking them.

Best Pie Carrier: Pyrex Portable Pie Carrier
The indentation in the bottom of this carrier keeps the (included) pie plate from slip-sliding away. And the five-inch-high domed lid allows full clearance for your loftiest creations.
