Part 1: Using the Microwave
Kids Cooking Activities Ebooks
For
today's kids cooking lessons your chef-in-training will be learning
about using the microwave. What kid in the kitchen
doesn't look at the microwave like a forbidden toy that they can't play
with?
As many other things in
the kitchen the microwave is fascinating but they must learn and
understand how to correctly use it.
 Tip:
Place your microwave at counter height not above their head. (as
you see in this picture) This will make it safer and easier for them to
use.
Make sure you give your chef these key points in microwave
safety.
Using microwave safe dishes. Show them what is safe and isn’t
safe to use in the microwave (for example: no metal utensils or metal
bowls in the microwave!!)
Instruct
them on using pot holders to take bowls out of the microwave.
Show
your chef how to operate your
microwave. (many microwaves work differently)
