After the class I discovered that there are basic baking terms that are missing.

• Chops . This is the process of cutting the mixed ingredients into desired shapes. Things like chin-chin and biscuits are some of the examples.

• Whisking. This process is done using mixer or whisky to ensure all ingredients are properly mixed.

• Greasing. This is done using vegetable oils or butter to rub in the pan so that the mold will come out well without breaking or sticking tight into the pan.

• Blind baking. We can see this situation where a baker par bake the pie before adding filing like veggies.

✓ From the list of basic utensils mentioned, can you tell us which ones you have at home? Did I mention at least three utensils that you consider essential for baking and that you don't have at home? Share with us images of the utensils you have .

I have just few baking utensils at home , grater, pans, Rolling pin, sieve, whisky, cutting board.

• Grater. This is very important in baking, it is used to grate ingredients like garlic, nutmeg and other soft items.

• Rolling pin. This is a baking terms that is used for rolling dough in pasta, pizza and bread.

• Sieve . This is a metal with small opening and handle that is used for sieving thing like flour or wheat in order to remove some impurities that can form lumps in the flour.

I don't have these ones at home.

• Weighing scale.

✓ How do you think a good pastry chef can be defined: by having tools or by having extensive knowledge and techniques in pastry making?
