1. Measuring Cup and Spoon
Measuring cups and spoons are a must-have in every baker's toolkit. They'll assist you with accurately measuring both wet and dry ingredients, assuring that your recipes are perfect to the T in the most fabulous way. The most important ones are- ½ cup, ⅓ cup, and ¼ cup, and a tablespoon, teaspoon, and ½ teaspoon.
2. Baking Bowl or Pot
Pot recipes are captivating the world with their own magic. You might think pots are for either boiling water or for cooking a huge serving of meat at a dinner party. Did you know (definitely, not a FAQ) that pots can also be used for baking and making yum yum desserts? There, caught you drooling!
From fudgy chocolate cake to pumpkin pies, the instant baking recipes can all be settled and served in a pot. Pot cheesecake New York style, baked Alaska, Hispanic Arroz Con Leche, you see the pots are going on a world tour! Our brand new ceramic scalloped baking bowls are no less. The bowls have an amazing texture and a spacious heart to hold you bake with love. They are available in blue, white, black, and pink so you can take your favourite pick.
The scalloped baking bowls provide ample space for a sizzling dance of flavors. The scallops are tangy, mildly sweet, and buttery, having a comfortable texture, so tasty that you might find yourself shellfish and ask, ‘One more, please?’ Much like those, the scalloped bowls too are a master of baking sweet desserts and buttery entrées. Out of all, the most popularly voted would be a hot, saucy bowl of spaghetti.
Pot twist! It will cost only a few minutes. Add a spoon of salt and boil the water, dry the spaghetti, put it in a scalloped baking bowl along with sauce (homemade sauce is the best, no doubt), creamy pesto, cheese that’s layered or grated, and seasonings, and Tada! Your delectable pot of spaghetti is ready. For all the meat lovers, don’t forget to add meatballs, pepperoni, or chunks of meat. Ending on a pot-lucky note, the ceramic scalloped pots are available with a lid that will keep your spaghetti warm for a long. Nom nom!
3. Mesh Sieve/ Sifter
Now it's time to move on to the next category of baking necessities: ingredients! Almost every baking recipe calls for flour as a binding agent. And, the only thing which churns out the easy to blend particles of flour is (drumroll please!) Sieve. It's also known as a sifter in the baking zone. You'll need all-purpose white flour, but you must have a sieve on hand. Brownie points if it's a mesh sieve. Nowadays even electronic ones are available, so you can take a chill pill.
4. Parchment Paper/ Aluminum Foil
You don't want to take a lovely batch of cookies out of the oven only to discover that they're stuck to the pan. Crisis can be averted by making sure you have parchment paper and aluminum foil on hand before you begin. Place it on the tray or bowl before pouring the cake mix and then, put it in the baking oven.
5. Whisk And Spatula
If you're a baker, you're probably already familiar with these tools. A spatula is one of the most crucial cake mixing equipment for 'folding in' flour mixture when preparing batter.
It can be used to scrape or gather batter that has splattered on the edges of a basin or container during baking a cake, and whisks to combine ingredients such as flour, sugar, baking powder, milk, and other liquids. To stir, to swirl, whisks and spatula dance in full flair.
6. Baking Tray
The kitchen assistants that’ll be your Joey and Chandler while baking, definitely are the ceramic baking plates and trays. Available in a modern and minimalist white interior, the plates and trays are not just for serving in style but to cook in elegance.
Jam-filled cookies, flavored biscuits, cheese overloading lasagna, and mac ‘n cheese, your grubbing session can be plated with love in these trays and plates with our range of cutters.
The ceramic baking dishes are formed in shapes of rectangle, oval, and square with varied lengths of 6, 7, and 8 inches to suit every baker’s taste. Dressed in pastel summer hues of white, blue, pink, yellow, or a stylish black, the baking plates and trays come with handles for easy grip while lifting.
The baking trays without handles are a compulsory addition if you’re looking for a flat layered cake with designed sides. A wave-like feature would add a touch of Midas to the fruity cake if you’re planning for a season’s special.
The blunt edges will help to take the cake out of the tray in no time. The high-quality ceramic, blended in it, is a bonus to keep the product usable for a long time.
7. Cookie Cutter
Making fancy cookies with cookie cutters is a fun way to celebrate different festivals and events. Make the best cutout cookies, whether you're preparing daily cookies or baking for a special occasion.
Cookie cutters are available in a variety of materials, including plastic, aluminum, and stainless steel. Use firm cutters that will keep their curve and form when you apply pressure for the best results.
An ardent baker, who can be a novice or an expert needs all tools handy to create the perfect masterpiece. Whether it’s delicious spongy cake or cheesy savory dishes, Nestasia’s array of bakeware is the kitchen bestie well deserved that’ll help you curate the most delish of dishes.

The Grill Platter is well spread to place dishes evenly. The textured surface of the platter makes grilling and baking a breeze, ensuring that all those nooks and corners get cooked evenly with equal heat distribution. The grill platter is not only the go-to bakeware for the kitchen cupboard but also doubles as a serving platter.
The shape of the oval baking dish makes for an easy fit into the oven while the handles allow ease in holding with oven mitts in place. More into minimal designs and setups? Go for the Black Berry or Snow White grill platters. The singular tones are sober and will blend into a modern contemporary kitchen or tablescape.
However, if vibrant popping colors steal your eye then the yellow, orange, red and teal-colored bakeware will help you to ensure that your ambiance equates to your cheery mood while baking. Pastels are always on trend so why not get yourself the Blue Muffin and Very Berry pink grilling bakeware.
9. Ramekin Bowls
So much flavour-gasm and no sweet ending? Impossible!
Getting along with the rainy weather calls for a drooling warm chocolate pudding. And if it’s a bright sunny day, a berry-licious cupcake with a chilling glass of fruit juice is definitely your starter pack. The intrinsically patterned and textured pudding bowls from our latest collection are then a must-have.
Baker man, baker woman, what color do you choose? To answer that you might feel yourself losing in a rainbow of cool blue, sunshine yellow, playful pink, and white truffle. It’s all in the pud!

The Ramekin bowls won't be a turtle in the race, or hare is it? Especially not the newly launched white ramekin bowl in our collection.

10. Plating with Square Baking Platter
The food you serve becomes more appetizing and yum with excellent plating, whether you're hosting a dinner party or a family gathering. Cuisine that is properly plated appeals to the senses of sight, smell, and taste at the same time, which is why how your food appears is just as essential as how it tastes. Making great meals is the easiest with these ceramic square baking trays.
Whether it’s baking to uplift your mood after a long week or treating your loved ones to your signature candies or cookies, the trays with their flat lay and raised wavy rims are a true star-studded addition to one’s crockery collection.
Create win-win party snacks like oven-baked cheesy nachos, choco-chip cookies, rice crispy treats, caramel-filled chocolates, sponge candies, and more. Use measuring spoons to correctly measure the ingredients and mix ‘em up in a bowl to create the perfect batter. When poured into the tray, the mixture spreads evenly, preventing you from any further hassle.
Season your meal right in the square baking dish before serving to ensure that the food retains its freshness and flavor. If added too quickly, ingredients like oil or salt can cause food to cook, melt, or clump. Give your dish a spray of oil or water if it starts to dry out before serving. A hint, if it's a cake, to make it more mouthwatering: Mix chocolate sauce and melted butter in a bowl and pour it over the cake for a savory sigh with each bite.
The ceramic platters are available in colors black, blue, white, and pink. The Very Berry and Blue Muffin bakeware vary in sizes from 6 inches to 8 inches to suit a baking enthusiast’s needs and choice of dish. The baking dishes are suitable for any modern kitchen and not only help with baking but may also be used to serve baked goodies on the table countertops.
If you're making a dish with broth or sauce, make sure you add the liquid shortly before serving. You might find it useful to utilize a recipe that includes a photo of the final meal as a reference. As you gain confidence, you'll be able to apply your newly gained abilities and imagination to create your own plating miracles. Bon appetit! Happy Baking!
