Anyone who does a fair amount of baking knows how important the proper bakeware can be. If you enjoy making cakes, pies, cookies and other types of baked goods, you count on your bakeware to give you reliable results. And you should be able to count on it, because bakeware has been created for the sole purpose of allowing you to bake great things.

It can be enjoyable shopping for bakeware. You have so many items from which to choose by a number of reputable manufacturers. Carbon steel is very often used for cake and pie pans, as is aluminum or stainless steel. A nonstick coating is a must if you do not want your baked items sticking to the bottom of the pan. An otherwise perfect cake or pie can be ruined in this way. Your pans should include a spring form pan, that allows for easy removal of very delicate cakes, a bundt cake pan and various sized pans for cakes of different shapes, such as round, square and rectangular. You can purchase cake molds in novelty forms for those times when a special cake is needed.

You should also have nonstick muffin and popover pans in your collection of bakeware. For perfect popovers every time, a pan made specifically for this purpose is crucial.

Cookie sheets are another important bakeware item to have. Your sheets may be aluminum or stainless steel, but whatever the material, they should have a nonstick coating. Loaf pans are great for breads, such as banana or nut bread. And again, look for a nonstick coating. Baked goods that stick to the pan can be ruined, and you don’t want your efforts in the kitchen to be wasted.

When buying bakeware, be certain to also have the proper utensils for making your ingredients, such as spatulas, rolling pins, cookie cutters and whisks. The utensils are all a part of your baking projects.

Even if your bakeware is dishwasher-safe, you may still want to wash it by hand to ensure that it lasts and gives you good service.

The proper bakeware and utensils will guarantee that your baked items always come out picture perfect.
