Straight-Sided
Dough Rising Buckets
Alton
Brown recommends that you allow your dough to rise in a container with
straight sides--otherwise, how will you ever know when it has actually
doubled? It's all a guessing game in a mixing bowl that slopes
from very small at the bottom to w-i-d-e at the top. I know I
can't really tell. I use one of these containers to let my dough
rise, and there is absolutely no doubt when it has doubled.
 Made
of food-grade
polyethylene, they are heavy-duty and dishwasher safe. All this for
only $11.99 for the 6 Quart size, $9.99 for the 4 Quart and $7.99 for the 2
Quart size. Priority Mail shipping in the USA will add $8. But
if you get this handy tool along with other things in one of the Bread Maker's
Kits, the shipping will be very little more for lots more stuff.

Instant-Read
Thermometer with Extra-Large Dial--so
easy to read!
 Here's
a picture of my old thermometer alongside the new one with the large
dial. I'd love it even if I didn't wear bifocals! In addition,
I was surprised when I compared this 'old fashioned' analog instant-read
thermometer with one of those new digital ones. I'm all about
new kitchen tools, but in this case, the digital is in the drawer. This
one reads temps twice as fast as the fancy one that needs a battery. Go
figure! Anyway, it's nearly impossible to tell when a loaf of
sourdough bread is ready to take out of the oven without one of these. If
you already have one, then use it! Or, if yours has a small little
dial that's hard to read, get this one anyway. A loaf of bread
is done when its internal temp is between 200° and 210° F. $9.99

An Ultra-Sharp Razor
Knife for Making Slashes in Your Risen Loaves of Sourdough Bread
 Loaves
of unbaked bread that are fully risen are delicate and need a very
sharp edge and a gentle hand to slash them without having a 'deflate!' This
little knife, with its snap-off blade sections, is the perfect tool
for the job. If you save it for only cutting bread dough, it
will take it a long time to become dull, but when it does, you just
snap off the end and voila! a brand new sharp edge. You'll
love this little gadget for other tasks in your home, so maybe you
should order two, since the price is right and the shipping is FREE!! $2.99
with Free Shipping.

Porcelain Butter Keeper
Attractive and easy

Holds 1/2 cup...one full stick of butter
 Keep
your butter fresh, soft and sweet without refrigeration in the
Porcelain Butter Keeper. The French have known this wonderful
secret for years. Now you can always have soft, spreadable
butter for your homemade sourdough bread. And the price is
right at only $9.99.

Do
you have an Oven Thermometer?
 If
you don't, you need one. Do you know if your oven's thermostat
is accurate? Even if your oven's brand new, its thermostat
could be off as much as 50° F.
You'll know when this little thermometer goes into your oven. Then,
when you bake, you'll get much more predictable results. $6.99
plus $1 shipping.
The
Incredible Tomato Slicer
I'll
bet you've never seen a knife quite like this one--I hadn't. When
my friend gave me mine, he told me that I wouldn't believe how it
could slice a tomato, and he was right! Unlike other types
of cutlery, this blade is both hollow ground and serrated on both
sides. This unique combination allows you to be incredibly
accurate with a remarkably sharp knife whether you are right or left-handed.

Soehnle
Model 65055 Scale
This is the scale you need if you're
a baker. Bakers know that ingredients, especially flour, need
to be measured by weight rather than volume. And the Soehnle
Scale makes it easy as, well, pie. You can put your bowl on the
scale and then just push the tare button and the scale resets itself
to zero. You can do it as many times as you want as you add ingredients.
This scale is the one that the folks at Cook's
Illustrated magazine (in my opinion, the best
magazine for cooks and bakers on the market...with NO ads) recently
selected as their favorite.
Sleek and light, the Soehnle shows weights
in hundredths of ounces and in single grams. The one I've been
using for several years measures only in increments of 5 grams, and
I love the precision of this one.

high impact polymer that's shatterproof and resistant to breaking,
the Perfect Beaker is top rack dishwasher safe and a bargain at

The Brotform Bread Rising Basket
Sometimes
called a Banneton (pronounced BANN-tahn), these natural cane hand
woven rising baskets help shape
your loaf of sourdough bread in its final proofing. As
the dough rises in the Brotform Banneton Rising Basket, the basket's
coils and flour dusting provide a beautiful shape and decor
for a traditional hearth bread. The 9" basket holds a one-pound
loaf and it's sort of expensive--$29. Fortunately it doesn't
weigh much, so Priority Mail shipping adds only $6

The Perfect Timer
If you're anything like I am, you have
to have a timer--actually two or three of them--in your kitchen. If
I didn't have mine, I'd always let the butterbeans boil over (what
a mess they make) and worse
yet, I'd burn my beautiful sourdough bread.  Well,
anyway, I've owned lots of timers and they either quit working (like
the one I thought I
was in love with..............)
or their ring isn't loud enough or it doesn't ring long enough to
get my attention or they're a real pain to set and reset (You've
got it--I'm lazy too! Actually,
I call myself efficient!). Getting to the point here, I've
tried and discarded many timers, and I've finally found one that
really works for me that's also a great price too. I gave one to
my daughter-in-love and she loves it too. It
comes with a battery and it's only $6.99 plus $2 shipping.

The New Improved
'Ove' Glove
When
I first saw the Ove Glove,I had trouble believing it would do what
the manufacturer claimed. But
I bought one anyway, since it had a Money Back Guarantee, and it
worked. What's more, it didn't feel like I had a catcher's
mitt on when I tried to pick up a baking sheet. The new improved
'Ove' Glove has silicone strips all over it on both
sides so that what you grab won't slip & slide, and it's slightly larger than
the old one. It fits righties or lefties with ease. With the
'Ove' Glove, you can protect your hands from the high heat of a breadmaker's
oven. Get
one for $22 or, better still, two--one for each hand. USA shipping
is only $2.

Amazing
Bowl Scraper
 If
you've baked with sourdough, you know how sticky and clingy it
is--much, much more so than any other kind of dough. I've
struggled with it, and the other day I happened across this bowl
scraper and took one home immediately. I could not believe
it when I tried it! It's stiff and thin enough to scrape
a bowl far better than any spatula--and it's flexible enough to
curve to the shape of the bowl. It won't replace your spatulas--but
this is one tool you're going to thank me for--I just know it. Plus,
you'll probably like the price too. Can't get much that's
really useful and doesn't wear out these days for $1.99, but that's
all you'll pay--and in the USA, you get free shipping to boot. What

An Old-Fashioned
Tea Towel
for Covering Your Rising Dough
 An
all-cotton towel is much more efficient for covering rising dough
than plastic wrap--it won't stick to the dough and it's so much
easier to put on and take off that that blasted plastic wrap that
gets wrinkled or sticks to itself. And that's not even mentioning
that cotton recycles itself in the washing machine--no plastic
to throw away--or the fact that that's what my Grandma Nana used
to cover her rising loaves of homemade light bread. $3.99

Dough
Divider, Scraper & Chopper
 If
you cook, you need this tool...but even more so if you bake bread. You
will find yourself using it constantly for dividing your dough,
lifting sticky dough from the counter, and cleaning up the flour
that's left. Truly a multi-tasking tool, (I'm sure Alton
would approve!) I can't function with just one--I have three of
them out in plain sight
next to
my chopping block. When you chop onions, just scoop them
up with this handy blade and put them exactly where you want them. The
blade is not sharp like a knife, but it is tapered and made of
stainless steel, so I use it to chop all sorts of things instead
of getting out a knife to do the little jobs. Easy to clean
in the dishwasher. And of course, the price is right at $8.99
with only $2 for shipping. Buy it in one of the BreadMaker's
Kits and you'll pay even less!
