Lesson 6Part 1: Using a Non-Sharp Knife
Kids Cooking Activities Ebooks
 For
today's kids cooking lessons we will be using a non-sharp knife, a
table knife or a serrated plastic knife. It is hard to determine at
what age your child is ready for using a knife.
Kids
are always anxious to use a real grown up knife but kitchen knife
safety is important!
If you decide to start using a sharp knife before the next age group
please read about knife
safety here.
You can have your chef-in-training practice cutting hot dogs, soft
fruits, hard boiled eggs, etc.
This lesson is a
warm up exercise to using a sharp kitchen knife. That will be
a lesson in the next age group, Junior Chef.
Part 2: Make a Fruit salad
Use
as much fruit as desired and whatever fruit is in season to make a
fruit salad. Have the chef-in-training practice cutting with a table
knife and toss the salad together.
Try using soft
fruit like bananas, kiwis, apple slices already cut(by an adult),
grapes, watermelon, etc. Add mini marshmallows for a little color and
fun.
