I haven't made anything yet... but I have been OBSESSIVELY researching for quite awhile! lol
I'm ready (finally) to purchase stuff to make my first batch! YAY!
But I'm a little confused and need some help...
1) I was going to get Pyrex 2 QT measuring bowl (cup?) and 2 to 3 small pyrex measuring cups, but then I see people say things like "NEVER GET GLASS BOWLS". In the video tutorials, I always see glass bowls, like Pyrex. Should I avoid and just get 2 QT plastic paint mixing buckets and smaller paint mixing buckets?
2) I'm really stumped about which scale to get. I keep seeing that the KD8000 is the one to get, but I really want to keep my cost down. It would be great if it can measure in small increments. Any specific recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
3) I'm pretty set on just using a milk carton as my first mold (to keep costs down). This is a silly question... I see that some people specify "wax lined milk carton". Are all milk cartons okay to use? I'm thinking about using the 32 oz (smaller) cartons.
4) I thought I was set on getting a stainless steel stick blender, but read here that many use the cheaper plastic ones. Now, I'm confused about which stick blender to get, too.
5) Ok, so I know I said I'm set on using milk cartons, but I was thinking about getting the BB 10" loaf mold for next time. Then, I keep seeing the wood molds with the silicone liners with the lip going over the wood mold. Where do you guys get those?
Thanks in advance for your help!
