Top 10 Baking Tools Priced $10.00 or Less

By Carroll Pellegrinelli, About.com

Here is a list of Baking Tools that are priced for less than $10.00, excluding possible shipping charges and tax. They are the perfect gift given alone, as stocking stuffers or with your homemade goodies.

1. Pancake Molds

pancake molds
These come in Heart and Maple Leaf shapes. These could be given alone or would be lovely tied to a jar or your own pancake mix. I use my heart shaped ones to shape sandwich bread for my daughter. This way she gets a heart shaped sandwich, and I don't have to cut the crusts off the bread. You won't lose much of the bread because the heart molds are almost the size of a piece of bread.

KitchenAid Pie Server
You can never have too many pie servers. This also would be a good gift to give alone with one of your homemade pies.

3. Rosette Irons

This is a set of three Rosette Irons: butterfly, star and rosette. They are used to make Swedish lemon-flavored pastries. The iron is dipped in hot oil, then dipped in batter and back in the oil until brown. Once cooked, they are sprinkled with powdered sugar. Rosette Irons would make a great gift for the cook who has everything.

4. Ceramic Pie Weights

The perfect gift for the pie baker in your life. These weights are used when an empty pie shell is baked. It keeps the crust from bubbling up.

5. Pastry Blender

Using a pastry blender beats trying to combine flour and shortening with two knives.

6. Icing Spatulas

You can never have enough icing spatulas. Even if you just use them to spread the butter on your sliced Italian loaf bread for garlic toast. It's so much easier using one of these to get the spreading job done.

Put these rings at each end of your rolling pin and you will roll the perfect sized piece of dough. Get this neat gadget for the pie baker in your life.

8. Cooling Racks

I must have 8 cooling racks in various sizes. I still don't seem to have enough when it's baking season. This is a gift that will always be appreciated.

9. Fine Mesh Shaker

I just love this stainless steel shaker. You can put flour to just have it sift itself on the way out of the container. I like to keep powdered sugar in mine for shaking on dishes like French toast. What even makes it more wonderful is that it has a lid.

10. Cake Decorating Set

This is another wonderful gift for the aspiring cake decorator. You get so much for such a small price. The kit includes: 5 metal decorating tips, several disposable decorating bags, tip couplers, 4 icing colors, a flower nail and an instruction booklet. You definitely can't go wrong with this gift.
