Ready, Set, Bake!

In honor of The Great British Baking Show season finale, we’ve put together a list of our favorite baking tools every fan and home baker should own! From our favorite Mason Cash mixingbowls to John Boos & Co. cutting boards, you can find what you need at Owenhouse Ace Hardware to have your own family bake-off! With this list, we know your bake would get the famous Paul Hollywood handshake!

Fans of the Great British Baking Show know that Prue loves her bakes with a little alcohol and Paul Hollywood hates a soggy bottom. Each week, we giggle at the hosts’ dad jokes and cringe at the tough technicals. After watching this year’s series (no spoilers!), we love all of the finalists and can’t wait to see what they create in the finale!

If the Great British Baking Show has you itching to tie on your apron and start baking your own masterpieces, check out the list of must-have baking tools:

Top 8 Baking Tools Every GBBS Fan Should Own

1. Dutch Oven

2 of our favorite brands, Le Creuset and Staub both make excellent dutch ovens! The weight of a dutch oven keeps the baking temperatures even, moisture stays in thanks to tight-fitting lids and their cast-iron properties allow for the crispy outside and soft inside that Paul Hollywood loves!

2. Mason Cash Mixing Bowls

First developed in 1901, Mason Cash mixing bowls are heavy enough to stand when mixing, yet light enough to hold comfortably in one arm thanks to their high quality, chip-resistant earthenware.

3. Bread Knife

The serrated blade of the bread knife is perfect for evenly slicing soft bread and baked goods like banana bread. It’s a must-have tool for a consistent bread cut, every time.

4. John Boos & Co. Cutting Boards

Gordon Ramsay’s favorite cutting board! These professional cutting boards are FDA-approved and have been awarded the Gold Medal Award by Chefs of America.

5. Liquid Measuring Cups

Pyrex is our favorite liquid measuring cup! Easy to read for precise measurements, doesn’t absorb stains or smells, durable and affordable! This classic design will last a lifetime.

6. Pie Shields

Owenhouse Ace Hardware’s secret to the perfect pie crust! These pie shields help you create that perfect golden top without burning the edges.

7. Silicone Baking Mats

A green alternative to parchment paper or foil, keep your bake from sticking to the pan with these eco-friendly silicone mats.

8. Cookie Sheets

NordicWare Naturals 3 pm Baking Sheet Set is a great way to get multiple sizes of heavy-duty baking sheets! The smaller one is the perfect size when you’re baking for 2 people.

The Semi-Finalists

Le Creuset Tea Pots

No matter how hot it gets in the tent, the bakers always seem to be drinking tea while they wait on their bakes to come out of the oven! Le Creuset’s colorful teapots add a pop to any kitchen.

Skoy Scrubbers and Cloth Packs

Bakers are notorious for being neat and organized, but when you’re baking against a clock or with Paul Hollywood staring over your shoulder, messes are bound to happen! Skoy scrubbers and cloth packs make clean up a breeze!
