USA Pan Bakeware Extra Large Sheet Baking Pan and Bakeable Nonstick Cooling Rack Set, XL, Metal Not only is this one of THE workhorses of my kitchen, its made right here in the USofA. Nonstick. Heavy Duty. I sling cookies, biscotti, biscuits, roasted veggies, chicken wings, bacon, blah blah on THIS pan. I'd be lost without it.
Sasa Demarle Silpat Premium Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mat, Big Sheet Pan Size for a 15''x 21'' Sheet Pan -by Pastry Chef's Boutique These come in different size and in all shapes and functions! I use my large sheet pan most often, and so this size made sense for me. This of this as an eco friendly parchment paper. Also great for throwing on your counter to roll out pie crusts, knead breads etc... no sticking! For real. Whether you're rolling out dough, roasting potatoes, or baking a galette THIS is an extremely helpful tool.
GreaterGoods Digital Food Kitchen Scale, Measures in Grams and Ounces When I tell you this revolutionized my baking... I honestly never considered myself a baker because everything came out so subpar. I thought I didn't "get that gene". Apparently, the gene is a proper food scale! I've had this for just over a year and I now confidently say I BAKE. And for the coffee connoisseur, this guy also happens to be perfect for brewing at home!
KitchenAid KSM150PSBF Artisan 5-Quart Stand Mixer, Buttercup This was a wedding gift over 10 years ago. Oh the cookies and cakes and bars and merengues this beaut has whipped up! I was so happy to see this color still in circulation... which when you click the pic, you'll see is actually a bit more muted. Not so bright and shinny. I prefer the Artisan series as all the bits are made with steel and the motor is more powerful. Sure you can snag one for less, but double check the specs. See what you're really working with. If you plan to use it and not look at it, definitely consider this upgrade!
Nordic Ware Platinum Collection Heritage Bundt Pan I'd been eyeing this for 2 years... and my sweet husband surprised me with this babe for my birthday! It's already seen a few pound cakes dusted and crusted in lemony glazes. I haven't had any issues with tearing or sticking, but do always make sure to coat well with softened/melted butter!
Nordic Ware Elegant Party Bundt Pan, Gold There can never be enough bundt pans. I promise. This was one I just couldn't say no to. Classic. Elegant. Not season specific. The perfect touch to any table. I've not any any issues with tearing or sticking, although I do coat well with softened/melted butter.

It’s so hard not to just keep collecting bundt pans…. so hard.
