A few of you have been asking me lately for recommendations. What scale do I use. What lame should you buy. Is that proofer really worth it.

For a long time the only thing I had to point you to was my shopper's guide. And I'll be honest with you, I never sent it out with much confidence. I've been picking at it, off and on, for three years, and it never got to a place where I felt good putting my name on it.

That changed this week.

The guide is done. It's presentable. And more important than presentable, it's honest. Every item in it is either something I use in my own kitchen, or it's made by a company whose product I use and believe in. If I don't stand behind it, it isn't in there. That's the whole rule.

Some of these companies I've built real relationships with. Wire Monkey. Brod & Taylor. Holland Bowl Mill. Sourhouse. ModKitchn. I'm an affiliate partner with these folks, and what that means for you is that I can sometimes get you a discount. And when times are good, a discount on top of whatever sale they're already running.

So here's what I want you to do. Before you buy a new tool, a new appliance, anything for your baking, check here first. If it's in the guide and there's a promo code attached to it, that's money back in your pocket.

Now the honest part, because you deserve it straight. On some of these products I may earn a small commission. It does not change your price, not by a penny. And that money doesn't disappear into my pocket and stay there. It goes right back into making Crust & Crumb Academy a better place for you and for every baker who walks through that door.

I'm putting this in the Classroom, on the first or second row, so it's always easy to find. Any time you need it, go to the Classroom at the top of the page and look for it. It'll be right there waiting for you.

Bake well,
