" Here&amp;#039;s what you need to be prepared for basic baking. Having said that, if you have never baked cakes, cookies, and pies, don&amp;#039;t invest in all these recommended pieces at once. Purchase what you know you&amp;#039;ll use, and add to your collection as you go. Just the act of purchasing pans is not going to turn you into a baker. Look for uncoated shiny aluminum pans or nonstick pans with a light-colored finish. Glass bakeware is a good choice if you remember to reduce oven temperature by 25 degrees F when you use it. Glass is also attractive for items that will be served in the dish and can double as microwave cookware. Brands to Consider Low-priced: Baker&amp;#039;s Secret, Pyrex High-priced: Wilton, Kaiser What You Need  Two 9-inch round cake pans: Many recipes will call for 8-inch round cake pans; you cannot use 8- and 9-inch pans interchangeably, so start with the size the first recipe you try specifies. One 8-inch square cake or brownie pan One 9-inch pie pan One 13&amp;quot; by 9&amp;quot; baking pan: For bar cookies and to double as a roasting pan. Two cookie sheets: Pans with one or two raised sides that serve as a grip or handles give better results than ones with a rim all around the edges that are known as a jelly roll pans. Sheets allow for maximum heat circulation around cookies as the bake. Plus, it&amp;#039;s easier to slide cookies off of them. One jelly roll pan: Chances are you&amp;#039;ll never use it to make a jelly roll, but this is a very handy pan for roasting vegetables, toasting nuts, or catching drips from a pie. Two loaf pans: The most common sizes are 9&amp;quot; by 5&amp;quot; and 8 1/2&amp;quot; by 4&amp;quot;. Start off with the size your first or favorite recipe calls for. One 12-cup muffin pan  Very nice to have: A Bundt pan lets you turn a cake mix into a fancy cake as long as you learn how to prepare the pan. Your Bundt will come out perfectly if you grease the pan very thoroughly with solid shortening, then dust lightly with Wondra-brand flour. Next, briskly tap the pan several times with the palms of your hands to distribute the flour evenly and then turn the pan upside-down over a sink and shake out any excess flour.
