OVEN GLOVES

These are vital for protecting your hands when you’re lifting hot tins in and out of the oven. Look for thick gloves that cover your hands and, ideally, part of your wrists and arms.

BAKING TRAYS AND TINS

Baking trays are lat with a small lip around the edge. Roasting tins are deeper and will protect the sides of the food from burning. Look for a sturdy tray that’s not too heavy to lift.

FOOD THERMOMETER

This allows you to test the internal temperature of food. This is important when roasting a large piece of meat, as you can’t always tell if it’s cooked by just looking.
