My Thoughts:

I know how easy it is to buy a gadget for every little task and skill in the kitchen. And it doesn’t take long to fill up your kitchen drawers, cabinets, and pantry with tools and the latest celebrity’s product lines. Trust me.

But I do think that having a few helpful items in the kitchen can be a blessing, especially for busy schedules. Chefast has made a number of easy to use and quality items that we’ve started using in our home which always has something in the mixer, oven, or on the stove top. These are a few I’d suggest when you’re getting started.

They’re oven safe up to 446 degrees, and you can even put them in the freezer. Plus, they’re easy to clean and dishwasher safe. Our unique set comes with a silicone spatula so you can easily mix all ingredients when creating your favorite recipes. You also get five disposable icing bags so you can fill your pans in a snap. With these pans, you’re not limited to donuts. Try making bagels, cookies, frozen treats – even sushi donuts or homemade soaps.

Baked Donut Recipe

Ingredients

• • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup butter (4 tablespoons)
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 2⅔ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 425° Fahrenheit. Optional step: Lightly spray your Chefast donut pan with a cooking spray. This can make it even easier to remove the donuts once cooked.
• In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter, sugars and vegetable oil until smooth.
• Add the two eggs and continue to beat until combined.
• Stir in the baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and vanilla.
• Stir the sifted flour into the batter alternately with the milk. Make sure you mix well.
• Fill with the batter one of the piping bags provided in your set.
• Cut off the tip of the bag and carefully pipe the batter into your donut mold rings. When using a mini donut pan, please fill the donut cavities close to the top. When using a large donut pan, please fill no more than three-quarters of the hole’s depth.
• Place the donut pan in the rack oven and bake the donuts for 11-13 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven either to a wire rack or onto a hot pad so it can cool for at least 10 minutes or until the pan is touchable.
• Gently push the donuts out with your fingers. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
