Thanks for Joining Us!
Welcome to Proofed, a newsletter for bakers. With each installment, we’ll give you a collection of the things that have piqued our team’s interest. Here’s what’s been proofing for the month of April!
A lot of articles cross our workbench each month, here are a few that we think are worthy of a click!

The tip jar is all about sharing the advice, tips, knowledge, and products our bakers turned sales consultants, find useful when they go hands-on in The Bakery at Erika Record.
Pan Scrapers
Let’s be honest, no one likes cleaning a dirty pot or pan. While you may typically reach for the nearest butter knife, spatula or other tool turned cleaning device, this can cause damage to either your cookware or gear. This nylon pan scraper from The Pampered Chef changes that. Durable enough to scrape off any burnt, caked-on food from pots or pans; yet gentle enough not to cause damage – you’ll find yourself using this both in the bakery and at home.
“I was given this tool as a product sample during an industry event and have used it ever since,” said Craig Kominiak an experienced baker and sales consultant with Erika Record Baking Equipment. “It’s smaller than a post-it note, but I use it on a regular basis both while at home and in the bakery,” continued Craig.
