Do you have a large offset spatula in your kitchen? I have one in mine, and this morning I found myself huntingfor it. I had spontaneously made an apple braid and when it came time to transfer the flaky pastry to a wire rack for cooling, I was stumped on the best way to do it.
A regular spatula wouldn't have supported the pastry, and I didn't want to risk the pastry crumbling during the transfer. Within seconds, I realized that my big fat spatula, which was a gift from my father and is usually reserved for the grill, was the tool for the task. It worked beautifully. The spatula wasn't quite as large as my apple braid, but it was big enough that the pastry could easily be transferred from the baking sheet to the cooling rack.
A big spatula seems like such a basic tool that it's hardly worth writing about. However, sometimes it is those basic tools that make or break a situation!
