To make French toast, you need the right equipment to get the job done. The better these tools are, the easier it will be to create your morning meal masterpiece. Below we have listed all the things you will need for each stage of the recipe. This kit is available at any leading retail store at an affordable price. You may even want to spend more to get certain high-quality equipment, as many of it can be put to other uses within your kitchen area.

measuring cups

Before you can get started, you’ll need a measuring cup to make sure you measure the ingredients correctly. Many seasoned home cooks have the right expertise to eye-measure their portions, but for most of us ‘everyday folks’ we need the help of measuring cups. You don’t need anything complicated for French toast, just something that can measure thirds and fourths of a cup.

mixing container

You will need something to combine all of your eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and other ingredients to cover your French toast. You can use a standard mixing bowl, however it is much easier to do this if you have a separate mixing bowl. This is particularly important when you need to serve many people.

Mixer

Once you’ve combined your components inside the mixing bowl, you need something to help bring it all together. A regular spatula will do the job, but it can also leave you with a sore, stiff arm. We recommend using an egg beater or, better yet, an electric hand mixer.

pan

Now that all the components are mixed, it’s time to soak the bread and cook it. While a standard skillet will do, to get the best, most even brown finish on your French toast, you’ll want a high-quality skillet. The thicker the pan, the better.

Turner

You need to prep both sides of your bread and something tells me flipping it by hand isn’t the best idea. That’s where a turner comes in. All turners are simply the same, but if you want one that will last a lifetime, you’ll want to spend a little more on a high-quality turner.

serving items

Now that your morning meal is complete, you need a presentation that does it justice. Plates and cutlery are a must. Also, it helps to get a tray to put them on. Ultimately, you could dress up the presentation along with things like a fruit bowl, a placemat, flowers, and other things. Get creative here and really do what needs to be done to make the morning special.
