Baking tools

Melt the chocolate either in the microwave (see baking tools, page 247) or in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water, stirring it frequently with a rubber spatula. Remove the chocolate from the heat and set aside to cool. 

When Clyde bakes, he goes all out He pulls up a chair, puts on his blue train apron, ties a red bandana on his head, and lays out all his special baking tools to help Mom. We make these cookies all the time and decorate them differently for each occasion. 

Three approaches have been identified that reduce susceptibility of CA resists to airborne contamination. In the first, process engineering changes such as the addition of special activated carbon filters to the environmental chambers surrounding the exposure tools (76,79), overcoating the resist with a soluble protective film to isolate the resist from the environment (77,80,81), or modifications of the process flow to minimize the time interval between exposure and post-exposure bake have been shown to improve CA resist processibibty. 

The thin small blades of a Microplane zester cut spices, such as whole nutmeg, and the peel of fruit into minuscule pieces that are perfect for incorporating into batters and frostings. The zester slices into just the top outermost layer of citrus, so the bitter white pith does not get zested. The tool is really sharp, so be especially careful with kids around. This is definitely an essential for your baking kitchen you will find Microplanes in kitchenware stores. 

Ceramics have a very long history. Rocks, which are natural ceramic materials, served as the earliest tools. Later, clay vessels dried in the sun or baked in fires served as containers for food and water. These early vessels were crude and quite porous. With the discovery of glazing, which probably occurred about 3000 B.c. in Egypt, pottery became more serviceable as well as more beautiful. Prized porcelain is essentially the same material as crude earthenware, but specially selected clays and glazings are used for porcelain, which is also fired at a very high temperature. 

The third class of dry-developable resists involves heating the exposed resist films in a development step. This development method does not require expensive etching tools, is therefore economical, and could alleviate the potential problem of exposure tool contamination associated with the self-developing resist systems. Many of the plasma-developable resist systems involving a relief-bake step, as discussed in Section 3.2.4.1, have the thermal development characteristics to a certain extent. In the thermally developable resist scheme, development is minimal during irradiation but completed to the substrate upon postbaking. 

Pull off the tip with the pliers and crush and pick out the bits of baked tar. Then pull out the filaments and what you can grasp of the glass pointing up. Now, use any screwdriver, file or whatever, to give a sharp tap to the rest of the glass holding the filaments. Rotate the tool around the inside of the bulb until no more glass juts out. 

Fire transforms things. It transformed our lives. It allowed us to bake the river clays into vessels for cooking, carrying and storing into bricks for building furnaces that could create sufficient heat to extract metal from rock and mould it into aU manner of tools, first hammers and tongs, then blades— ploughshares and weapons.
