Cutting
Board
A cutting board is a durable
board on which to place material for cutting. The
kitchen cutting
board is commonly used in preparing food.
Other types exist for cutting raw materials
such
as leather or plastic. Kitchen cutting boards are
often made of wood or plastic and come invarious
widths and sizes. There are also cutting boards
made of glass, steel, or marble, which are easier to clean than wooden or
plastic ones such as nylon or corian, but tend to damage knives due to their
hardness.
2. Proofing
Machine
Proofing (also
called proving or more
rarely blooming), as the
term is used by
bakers, is the final rise of shaped bread
dough before
baking. It
refers to a
specific rest period
within the more
generalized process known
as
fermentation. Fermentation
is a step in
creating yeast breads and
baked goods
where the yeast is allowed
to leaven the
dough.
3. Scoop
Ice Cream
An ice cream scoop is a kitchen utensil
which is used to serve ice cream, although it can also be used to handle other thick substances such as cookie
dough. The thick construction of the scoop allows it to hold up when it is used
with heavy, stiff materials, and it will not bend or break like ordinary scoops
and spoons. Many kitchen supply stores sell these utensils, often in a variety of
sizes and styles. While not a vitally necessary kitchen tool unless you eat a
lot of ice cream, an ice cream scoop can certainly be useful to have around.
