San Francisco Sourdough Bread Starter $9.99 with Free USA Shipping
San Francisco Sourdough bread is made with wild yeast instead of packaged baker's yeast. The San Francisco sour dough starter that you will receive is made up of a tiny amount of flour, the live wild yeast organisms, and another live organism called a lactobacillus, which is what creates the sour flavor in your sourdough bread. If you'll follow the detailed instructions in the printed booklet you receive with your sourdough starter, you will not only make your own homemade sourdough bread, you'll have fun doing it. The San Francisco sour dough starter also makes wonderful pancakes and waffles too. Take a look at the sourdough recipes on the Recipes page. By the way, shipping for the Sourdough Starter is free in the USA. And shipping to Western Europe, Canada & Australia, and most other places in the world adds only $2--a real deal!. |

Reclosable Zip Top Heavy Plastic Bread Loaf Bags
FREE Shipping--and fast too! This is the best thing I've discovered for the kitchen since, well, you know... It's great to have handy (although your household partners will do their darndest to steal it from you). In moments, I can tell exactly what temperature my oven is--not just the air, but the sides and bottom and top--the important parts. The air escapes every time you open the door, but if the inside parts are hot, the air gets reheated quickly as soon as you close the door. And we all know that baking temperatures are crucial to anything that goes in the oven to cook. I love this new toy. My two boys had been using one of these things for a while, and I thought it might be a handy addition to my kitchen toy box. They gave me one and now I use it just about every time I cook--it is no longer a toy--it has become an indispensable tool to make cooking and baking easier and better. Now I don't even need a deep fat thermometer to fry at the correct temp--I just shoot the oil in the pan with this gadget and I know the exact temperature of the oil. Melting chocolate? Know the precise temp at any given moment. Do you know what temp your skillet is when your omelette comes out just perfectly? You will if you measure the temperature before you put the eggs in. Then you can have it the same every time. Cooking is a science...and in science, you always want to be able to repeat your results. That's why we weigh the flour and take the internal temperature of a loaf of bread! Well this baby just adds a boatload of precision to your cooking and baking. Yep, it's not cheap, but I promise you'll not want to cook without it once you've used it a few times. Money-Back Guarantee! How's that?? The price is $49.99 and shipping is only $3.
Professional
Meat Tenderizer and Marinade Accelerator
Space-Saving Spoon Rest Keep your counters and stove-top clean with this convenient upright spoon rest, which takes up only about one-third of the counter space of a 'regular' spoon rest. When I saw these, I just had to have two of them--one for each side of my cooktop. The white ceramic bowl catches and contains all the drips as cooking utensils drain neatly in an upright position. It's only 4.25 inches in diameter but a full 7 inches high so that all your spoons will fit. This would make a great gift--for yourself or for someone else who cooks. It's only $11.99 and USA shipping adds $7 if you get it by itself. If you order it along with other items, the shipping gets combined and goes way down!
Straight-Sided Dough Rising Buckets Alton
Brown recommends that you allow your dough to rise in a container with
straight sides--otherwise, how will you ever know when it has actually
doubled? It's all a guessing game in a mixing bowl that slopes
from very small at the bottom to w-i-d-e at the top. Just put
your dough in one of these handy buckets with a rubber band (or masking
tape) marking the top of the dough and there will be absolutely no
doubt about when
it has doubled.
Notice how much larger the dial is on this one as compared to the 'regular' size. I Love It! And I was surprised when I compared this 'old fashioned' analog instant-read thermometer with one of those new digital ones. I'm all about new kitchen tools, but in this case, the digital is in the drawer. This one reads temps twice as fast as the fancy one that needs a battery. Go figure! Anyway, it's nearly impossible to tell when a loaf of sourdough bread is ready to take out of the oven without one of these. If you already have one, then use it! A loaf of bread is done when its internal temp is between 200° and 210° F. This therm is included in all of the breadmaker kits. By itself, it's $10 with only $1 shipping.
Parchment Paper
One of the great inventions for the kitchen in recent times. Nothing will stick to this stuff!! Don't know why they named it parchment paper--should've been called 'silicone paper' but that's our wonderful English language for you...doesn't always make sense. The point is that this is something else you need if you have any inclination toward baking anything--cookies, cakes, pies, bread... This is a Jumbo roll with 71 square feet of non-stick ease and it's only $6.99. It doesn't weigh much, so if you get it with other items, it usually won't add much to the shipping. If you need it by itself, shipping is $4.95 to anywhere in the USA.

The
Incredible Tomato Slicer
I'll bet you've never seen a knife quite like this one--I hadn't. When my friend gave me mine, he told me that I wouldn't believe how it could slice a tomato, and he was right! Unlike other types of cutlery, this blade is both hollow ground and serrated on both sides. This unique combination allows you to be incredibly accurate with a remarkably sharp knife whether you are right or left-handed.

This professional-quality heavyweight loaf pan heats evenly for uniform baking and browning of your homemade sourdough bread. And your loaf will come out easily because of the nonstick coating. This pan makes for easy shaping and for slicing uniform slices. It's not anything like your ordinary big-box store loaf pan. A must for every breadmaker! And it's only $9.99.
Long-Handled Stirrers for Gas Cooktops
When I got my wonderful gas cooktop about three years ago, I was amazed and dismayed that whenever I needed to stir a dish for more than a moment, the heat from the burner, even on low, was so hot on my wrists and forearms that I couldn't stand it. I soon asked husband Walt to make me some stirrers with extra long handles so that I could enjoy stirring my custard and cooking my stir-fries without pain. We did some experimenting and decided that about 20 inches was a good length and that a dark hardwood (more expensive but not porous) would be the best material to use. $25 for the pair plus $3.50 shipping. If you want only one, that's fine--it's $14--with $3.50 shipping.
Made in Poland but known as a Danish Dough Whisk--it's perfect for those mixing jobs where the stuff you're trying to blend is just too stiff for a wire whisk and you need more flexibility than a spoon will give. And the length at 14.5 inches, gives you plenty of leverage and is adaptable to more kitchen jobs than a shorter tool.The price is right at only $11.99. If you get it by itself, shipping will cost you $3, but if you're ordering other things,it will cost way less or nothing at all.
This wonderful new kitchen tool (toy to me) is a brilliant
invention! I wish I could give the one who thought of it a big
hug. It pours so precisely--with NO drips
Oblong Brotform Banneton Bread Rising Basket
As you may know (or not) sourdough breads tend to rise out (spread) rather than up because of the acidity of the dough, which weakens gluten. San Francisco Sourdough Bread is also on the heavy side, which also makes it spread. So, a form to encourage your loaf to be the shape you want is a big help. This basket is 13'' long 5" wide and about 2.75'' tall and holds dough weighing about 1.5 lbs. The price is $22 and 2 to 3-day Priority Mail shipping adds only $6.
Wire-Bail Glass Jar Made in Italy
This Bormioli-Rocco clear glass jar with its hermetic wire-bail closure is the perfect container for protecting your sourdough starter stash in the fridge. You'll be able to glance at it and know that you remembered to leave the lid loose until your yeasties are fast asleep and since it's clear, you'll be able to check on your babies easily. It won't spill and it's much less likely that some helpful person will throw it out because it looks and smells funny. Plus, it's a great-looking jar! The good news is, it's a top-quality jar that was made by the famous glass people in Italy. The bad news is, it's a top-quality jar and it's heavy, so shipping costs $10 if you order it by itself. If you want some other things while you're in the store, however, have a look at the Make Your Own Kit page which shows you how to get the things you want without paying an arm and a leg for shipping.
The Unique Bamboo Starter Stirrer!
Make Your Own Breadmaker Tool Kit If none of the Breadmaker's ToolKits I've put together gives you what you want, then you can put together your own custom kit and get exactly the tools you need and not pay for the ones you already have in your kitchen. Just go to the Make Your Own Toolkit Page and you'll find out how to get what you want, without paying for anything you don't want--especially extra freight charges. And always, if you have questions, just email me, and you'll get an answer--a promise I keep! The Brotform Bread Rising Basket
A Really Good Timer If you're anything like I am, you have
to have a timer--actually two or three of them--in your kitchen. If
I didn't have mine, I'd always let the butterbeans boil over (what
a mess they make) and worse
yet, I'd burn my beautiful sourdough bread.
Heavy Plastic Bags that Actually Fit!!
I love these bread bags...finally a nice heavy plastic bag that will hold a long baguette or two. I couldn't give my long baguettes as gifts because I didn't have anything nice to package them in—now I do! And USA shipping is only $1!

Chrome-Topped Glass Shaker
If
you hate shipping charges
Made of unglazed stoneware, this pan is like the ovens used by professional bakeries to provide an even baking temperature and a perfect crust for your wonderful homemade San Francisco Sourdough Bread. It measures 5- 1/2 by 9 inches on the inside and holds 7 cups. It's dishwasher safe so you can use it for baking meatloaf, casseroles, cakes and quick breads as well as your own San Francisco Sourdough Bread. The price is $29 and shipping will add $10 if you order just the pan, because it weighs a lot. If you get it in one of the Breadmaker Tool Kits or with other breadmaking toys, though, you'll save a lot on the shipping.
The Fabulous Bread Knife San Francisco Sourdough Bread is so crusty you need a special bread knife to slice through the thick crust without damaging that wonderful crumb. And it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to get it! Only $11 plus $2 for shipping in the USA.

This
cool gadget is not just for tenderizing meat. It makes brining and
marinating lots faster and much more effective. Lots of people
use a giant hypodermic to inject yummy flavors into their turkeys. This
tool lets you do that without the bother of injecting--especially nice
when you're just cooking two chicken breasts. Just poke some
holes in your chicken or beef or pork with this handy little multi-tasker--or
whatever you want to brine or marinate, and the succulent liquids penetrate
the meat way down
deep. Ever
wish your Ribeye--or Sirloin--or NY Strip Steak were a little more
tender? I only buy Choice steaks, but they still can use a little tenderizing--especially
since with this neat tool the texture of the meat is all natural--not
like those sprinkle-on 'tenderizers' which just sort of melt the meat.
Here's your quick solution. Just poke this cool gadget into your steak
a few times...takes only a minute--before you cook it, and you
and your guests won't believe how tender it is. I promise
it works--money back guarantee! The Price is only $7.99 and USA shipping
is $3 if you
get it by itself. If you get other toys along with the Tenderizer,
shipping will go way down.

Loaves
of unbaked bread that are fully risen are delicate and need a very
sharp edge and a gentle hand to slash them without having a 'deflate!' This
little knife, with its snap-off blade sections, is the perfect tool
for the job. If you save it for only cutting bread dough, it
will take it a long time to become dull, but when it does, you just
snap off the end and voila! a brand new sharp edge. You'll
love this little gadget for other tasks in your home, so maybe you
should order two, since the price is right and the shipping is FREE!! $2.99
with Free Shipping.
Keep
your butter fresh, soft and sweet without refrigeration in the
Porcelain Butter Keeper. The French have known this wonderful
secret for years. Now you can always have soft, spreadable
butter for your homemade sourdough bread. And the price is
right at only $9.99.
If
you cook or bake or even grill, then you need to have a pastry
brush in your kitchen drawer--because it's for much more than pastry. But
you need one especially when you want to make beautiful as well as
great-tasting San Francisco Sourdough Bread. For some reason,
bread made with a sourdough starter is notorious for not browning
as well as breads made with conventional packaged yeasts, so an egg
wash is more necessary with sourdough. This handy little multi-tasker
comes in all of the breadmaker kits. By itself, it's a mere
$3 with $1.50 added for shipping if you don't need anything else.
If
you don't, you probably should have one. Do you know if your
oven's thermostat is accurate? Even if your it's brand new,
your ove's thermostat could be off as much as 50° F.
You'll know when this little thermometer goes into your oven. Then,
when you bake, you'll get much more predictable results. $6.99
plus $1 shipping.

Well,
anyway, I've owned lots of timers and they either quit working (like
the one I thought I
was in love with..............)
or their ring isn't loud enough or it doesn't ring long enough to
get my attention or they're a real pain to set and reset (You've
got it--I'm lazy too! Actually,
I call myself efficient!). Getting to the point here, I've
tried and discarded many timers, and I've finally found one that
really works for me that's also a great price too. I gave one to
my daughter-in-love and she loves it too. It
comes with a battery as well as a magnet on the back, and it's only
$6.99 plus $2 shipping.
I
must have half a dozen of these handy shakers in my kitchen cabinet--I
keep them full of flour, powdered sugar, cornmeal, grated Parmesan,
kosher salt, freshly ground (in an extra coffee grinder) black pepper,
red pepper flakes or whatever. They make it easy to shake a little
of what you need in a controlled area. They're glass, not plastic,
so they're pretty enough for the table too. And the price is
reasonable at $2.99. One of these comes in every kit, but if
you want it by itself, shipping is just $2.50.
If
you've baked with sourdough, you know how sticky and clingy it
is--much, much more so than any other kind of dough. It's
stiff and thin enough to scrape a bowl far better than any spatula--and
it's flexible enough to
curve to the shape of the bowl. It won't replace your spatulas--but
this is one tool you're going to thank me for--I just know it. This
handy little tool is also a multi-tasker. I use it all the
time to 'scrape' up onions or peppers that I've chopped--just like
its cousin, the metal Bench Knife/Dough Divider/Scraper. Plus,
you'll probably like the price too. Can't
get much that's really useful and doesn't wear out these days for
$1.99,
but that's
all you'll pay--and in the USA, you get free shipping to boot. What
a deal! 
An
all-cotton towel is much more efficient for covering rising dough
than plastic wrap--it won't stick to the dough and it's so much
easier to put on and take off than that blasted plastic wrap that
gets wrinkled or sticks to itself. And that's not even mentioning
that cotton recycles itself in the washing machine--no plastic
to throw away--or the fact that that's what my Grandma Nana used
to cover her rising loaves of homemade light bread. $2.99
with free USA shipping.
