Best hazelnuts for baking for 2020

Crispy or, on the contrary, tender, melting in the mouth, with condensed milk or creamy filling, shortcrust pastry nuts are an unforgettable taste of childhood. Almost all Soviet families had hazel-frying pans in their house, heating them on gas, baking shells for their favorite cookies. True, culinary creativity took a lot of time, and the cleaning afterwards was grandiose: the plate was decorated with smudges, the patterned baking dish had to be mercilessly scrubbed, washing off the oil film.

When electrical appliances appeared, the situation changed. Now treating friends and family with a childhood treat is not difficult.The editorial staff of the site "bestx.htgetrid.com/en/" offers you an overview of the best hazelnuts for baking for 2020.

What are hazelnuts

There are the following types of devices for making oval cookies:

• Regular.

Construction of two connected usually cast iron pans with patterned dough notches. The lower one has grooves, the upper one has convex oval “thorns” that form cookies in the form of nut halves. A cooker is required to heat the mold.

• Electrical appliance with frying surfaces.

The principle is the same as for the waffle iron: the dough is placed on working closing panels equipped with heating elements. The hazelnut maker bakes dessert "shells" thanks to the forms with hemispheres - curved and concave, which differs from the electric waffle iron, which only creates a relief pattern. The halves are then combined with cream or other filling. The comparison is not in favor of the heavy metal shape of the Soviet era. Modern housewives prefer electric multifunctional units. Mains powered appliances are easy to use, cooking time for each portion is 3-5 minutes. Many hazelnuts have 5-12 dough holes, making it easy to bake a large batch of treats in a short time. It is not difficult to wash the mold, the best manufacturers have taken care of the convenience of using household appliances, providing the baking panels with a non-stick coating. According to buyers, electric hazelnuts have another advantage: they can be used at home, in the country and in any other place where there is access to the network.

The downside of users is the bulkiness of the devices: individual models weigh more than one and a half kilograms. However, the disadvantage does not prevent electric bakers from becoming one of the favorites of home cooks.

How to choose a hazelnut

When planning to make a purchase, you should initially determine what qualities a baking machine should have.

What to look for when choosing a product:

1. Non-stick coating of the mold.

Expensive electric hazelnuts are made of thermolon, the highest quality, ecological, wear-resistant material. Many popular models are made of titanium. Hazel cutters with Teflon are in demand, the main thing is that the manufacturer does not save on layer thickness. If, when buying, this aspect is not visually determined, then pay attention to the smoothness of the coating, the absence of flaws on the surface of the panel is worth it.

2. Housing.

Outside, metal or plastic is possible, preferably heat-resistant. The working surface of the device is made of steel, cast iron, aluminum. It is better to refuse a product with aluminum, although it is more advantageous at a price. According to professionals, the best material is strong steel.

3. Safety.

The most popular product on the home appliance market is hazelnuts with a thermally insulated handle. Samples with an auto-off function are even more popular.

4. Indicator.

It is difficult to imagine modern cooking technology without a smart built-in mechanism that allows the hostess to organize the culinary process. Controlling baked goods is much easier if the hazelnut has a power indicator.

5. Power.

Traditionally, devices have a power of 650-1600 W, which is quite enough for high-quality dessert baking. The more powerful the unit, the faster the process.

6. Temperature regulator.

The technique of recent years of production is equipped with a thermostat responsible for regulating the temperature regime. Confectioners appreciate models with a thermostat that allows you to vary recipes.

7. Fixing the mount.

A tightly fastening mechanism to the panels is important - this creates the optimal temperature for baking, and the dough, evenly distributed over the working surfaces, does not come out and does not burn the chef's fingers.

8. Convenience.

"Tailed" electric hazelnut with a cord and a plug occupies a large area. When baking is finished, the appliance is removed from the table, for example, in the kitchen cabinet. If the product has a “pocket” for the cord in the body, it becomes compact.

9. Price.

The finest kitchen appliances are reasonably priced. Frying pans can be purchased for 500-800 rubles. How much does an electric hazel cutter cost? Within 1000-5000 thousand rubles. Cost is based on material quality, functionality and brand.

When all the characteristics of the dream hazel are assessed, you can study the range of household appliances stores.

Typical mistakes when choosing

A reasonable buyer will name the main criteria for choosing household appliances for the kitchen:

• High-quality assembly;
• Environmentally friendly materials used for production;
• Functionality;
• Appearance;
• Verified brand;
• Reasonable price;
• Provided warranty period.

However, in practice, there is often a substitution of concepts.

Buyers are afraid to take Chinese-assembled equipment, suggesting a marriage, even in specialized stores. You need to know that for many respected brands on the Russian market, China is the manufacturer.World-renowned companies value their reputation, so you shouldn't worry about quality. It's another matter if the product is sold in a small store or by hand, without a quality certificate, user manual. Even if the price is convenient, you should skip the purchase to avoid disappointment.

Another typical oversight is to think: a cheap thing is not of high quality. If the sale takes place in a branded shopping center, you should not be afraid. The price of last year's goods is often dropped, but the quality of the devices does not suffer from the change of the calendar. And at the same time, cheap household goods, the appearance of which cannot be visually appreciated, in an online store - especially on a free platform - is dangerous to buy: you can buy a fake or a product with a manufacturing flaw.

Those who prefer online shopping will benefit from the following recommendations:

• Before ordering online, you need to familiarize yourself with customer reviews on other Internet sources: where to buy is better, which company to choose, at what price to buy, which seller cannot be dealt with, and which one provides quality services;
• The product being sold must have clear characteristics, a specific price;
• A reputable online store never requires prepayment;
• The buyer should be offered several options for receiving the goods: through the post office, delivery service or at the pickup point. Fake offices insist only on prepaid postage, chopping off customer feedback.
• It will be safe to buy a trusted brand in the online store.

These expert tips will help you get the right product. And when household appliances are installed in the kitchen, its owners have to remember the rule: do not forget to study the instructions before using the device, so that the hazelnut will serve for many years and delight you with a delicious dessert.
