Equipment & Utensil

1. BEANPOT

A deep, wide-bellied, short- necked vessel used to cook bean-based dishes. Beanpots are typically made of other materials, like cast iron, can also be found. The relatively narrow mouth of the beanpot minimizes evaporation and heat loss, while the deep, wide, thick-walled body of the pot facilitates long, slow cooking times. They are typically glazed both inside and out, and so cannot be used for clay pot cooking.

2. BASTER

Used during cooking to cover meat in its own juices or with a sauce. An implement resembling a simple pipette, consisting of a tube to hold the liquid, and a rubber top which makes use of a partial vacuum to control the liquid's intake and release. The process of drizzling the liquid over meat is called basting - when a pastry brush is used in place of a baster, it is known as a basting brush.

3. BISCUIT PRESS

Cookie press. A device for making pressed cookies such as spritzgeback. It consists of a cylinder with a plunger on one end which is used to extrude cookie dough through a small hole at the other end. Typically the cookie press has interchangaeable perforated plates with holes in different shapes, such as a star shape or a narrow slit to extrude the dough in ribbons.
