Lesson 9


We are going on a field trip for today's kids cooking lessons. Tour a specialty kitchen shop (or if one isn’t available, use your own kitchen.)



Part 1: What are All These Cool Kitchen Tools For?

Explain all the kitchen tools you see and what they are used for, such as, a potato masher, a garlic press, a whisk, a pastry brush, a pasta machine, a sifter and so on.

Your child may have seen you use them before but make a special point to explain what these things (and more) are used for.
