Will I need to buy any equipment?

Participating in our research study requires some basic kitchen equipment which, in most cases, you’ll likely already have if your kitchen is well-equipped. This includes items such as mixing bowls, a kitchen scale, a dough scraper, and an oven.

However, please rest assured that any specific equipment required for the course or the research study, which you may not already own, will be provided by us. This is part of our commitment to ensuring that all participants are fully equipped to participate in the study without incurring any extra personal expense.

Our goal is to facilitate your participation and make the process as seamless as possible, allowing you to focus on the process of baking and the study itself. We are here to provide any necessary support and answer any questions you may have throughout the study.
