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.

There are so many cooking tools you could spend hours in a kitchen shop, so, just let your child's interest guide you.

Part 2: Make Cupcake Ice cream Cone Recipe

If you have a muffin scoop (special kitchen tool!) use this to fill the cones. Adult should bake about 30 minutes until toothpick inserted in the cake top comes out clean. Allow to cool. Frost and let your chef-in-training decorate.
