Equipment

Cooking Tree channel never mentioned specific equipment they use, neither did they made “tour” video. However, in most of the comments they roughly specify what utensils and mold size they used for the given cake. Most of their molds are bought in some local South Korean shops, so we are listing here closest alternatives and most similar stuff used in their videos.

Molds

Since no specific mold brand in their video is specified, we made compilation of Cooking Tree styled molds.

Among all we found Fat Daddio’s are the best ones. All of their molds are made of high quality stainless steel and best off all they come in all sizes especially rare 3″ (7.6 cm) depth and width anywhere between 2″ and 10″ (5 and 25 cm).

Some other cheaper alternatives are bellow, but these have lesser choice of sizes and are of somewhat lower quality but still good enough.

Pots and Pans

Cooking Tree uses few models of Eva Trio series pots. For European styled pancakes used in certain cakes she uses GreenLife square non-stick pan.

Knives

In most of the videos we can see that “Cooking Tree” uses ceramic knife. But in few videos we can see stainless steel knife which we think it’s one of the F. Dick knives models (which is German brand of quite good knives, mostly popular in Europe).

Appliances

Cooking Tree uses LG Duos Lightwave microwave and unknown model of Luxel mixer. Both models are available only on Asian market.
