As a candy-maker, you need specific tools and utensils. Some, like measuring cups and spoons, you probably already have and use; others, like a candy thermometer and a marble slab, don’t see much service unless you’re making candy. Keep the following tools on hand for your candy-making efforts:
| Baking pans |
Measuring spoons and measuring cups |
| Candy and chocolate thermometers |
Microwaveable bowls |
| Dipping utensils |
Plastic storage containers of a variety of sizes |
| Double boiler |
Saucepans (including 2-quart, 4-quart, and 5-quart) |
| 4- to 5-quart mixer |
Small marble slab |
| Kitchen scale |
Spatulas (hard rubber and offset/stainless steel) |
| Large knives |
Wax paper |
| Large wooden or stainless steel spoons |
