Welcome to the Kitchen!
It's fun for kids to learn how to cook, and is a wonderful skill to have. Getting ready to cook is easy:
1
Find an adult who can help you. Always read through the recipe with your adult helper so you can ask questions. Your helper will show you how to use kitchen tools and will help you handle the hot pots and pans.
2
Get dressed for cooking. If you have long hair, pull it back so it won't get in the food. If you have long sleeves, roll them up so they will stay out of your way. Always wash your hands with plenty of soap and water before you start to work. If you like, put on an apron to keep your clothes clean.
3
Take out all the ingredients and equipment you will need. It is important to make sure you have everything you need before you start cooking. Measure the ingredients to be sure you have enough, and put them all in one place.
