How do you measure 1.625 cups?

The difference between 1.5 cups and 1.625 cups is .125 cups. Twice .125 is .25 cups and twice that is .5 cups. So .125 cups is one-eighth of a cup. Measure out 1.5 cups and then measure out one-half of one-quarter cups (an eighth). Add the two together and you have 1.625 cups.

If you are really confident you can split the next quarter cup in half you can do this after you measure a cup and a half and then try adding up to one-half of the next quarter cup. I think doing them separately would be easier.

What does don't look a gimped hourse in the mouth mean?

The expression is "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth."

People who buy and sell horses, can tell the age and health of a horse by examining the horse's mouth. However, if someone gives you a horse, you should not examine its mouth to determine its value, simply accept the gift.

So the expression means, "If someone gives you a present, do not try to determine what it is worth. Just accept the gift and say, thank you."

What are the tools and equipment in baking with definition?

Rolling Pin

The rolling pin is used for shaping and rolling dough.

Measuring Spoons and Cups

You will need to use measuring spoons and cups for accuracy. These tools are inexpensive and should be kept close by your mixing area.

Mixers

You can use a heavy-duty electric stand mixer as an alternative to mixing dough by hand. These mixers use a dough hook attachment or a mixing blade to replicate hand kneading.

Mixing Bowls

Keep a sturdy 4-quart (or more) capacity mixing bowl on hand. I use ceramic, plastic and wooden bowls. You'll also need various sized bowls for mixing glazes and washes.

Pastry Brushes

Keep several pastry brushes for applying glazes and brushing swee doughs with butter. The newer silicone pastry brushes work great and are easy to clean.

Whisks

Whisks are very handy in bread making. You can use stainless steel wire wisks or the newer silicone version. I also like to use a long-handled Danish dough whisk when making yeast breads.

Wooden Spoons

Long-handled wooden spoons work very well. Make sure to keep the spoons oiled with mineral oil.

Timer

Nothing can beat your senses in judging if the dough is ready, but a time lets you relax and do other things during rest times throughout the baking process.

Plastic Scraper and Spatula

These tools are used to help remove dough that is stuck on the inside of bowls and bread machine pans. The scraper is used to transfer and lift sticky dough during the kneading process.

Baking Pans

Pans give shape to loaves that might not necessarily be strong enough to hold their own shape.

Loaf pans

Loaf pans are standard rectangular-shaped pans and can be made of heavy-gauge aluminum, pyrex glass, disposable aluminum foil or paper or ceramic materials. If you use glass pans, remember to lower the oven temperature by 25° because they absorb heat quickly.

Common sizes: 9" x 5" or 8 1/2" x 4 1/2"

Baking Sheets

You'll also need a few good baking sheets. Look for ones made of the heaviest gauge aluminum or tin-plated steel so they won't warp at high temperatures. The size of your oven will determine the size of your baking sheet. It's better to use sheets that are a few inches smaller than your oven to allow for adequate heat circulation.

Common sizes: 10 1/2" x 15" jelly roll with a raised 1 inch edge, 11" x 17" half-sheet baking sheet, 9 1/2 x 12 1/2" quarter-sheet pan.

Pastry Blender

The pasrtry and dough blender is great for mixing flours and other dry ingredients. It helps to eliminate lumps and unevenness in your doughs.

An Easy Bake Oven uses a lightbulb to heat desserts. It would probably be ok to use Easy Bake mixes in a real oven but it will probably cook much faster because a real oven is much more powerful. Keep a close eye on the dish.

You can also use real cake or cookie mixes (make a "grown-up" batch and reserve some dough or batter for the child's toy) in the Easy-Bakes.
