kids love cooking!

Cooking is fun and messy; two things that kids love! Parents can foster their kids’ love of cooking with these tips:

• Be patient. Going into the cooking experience knowing there will be a mess. Put a plastic tablecloth under the work area to help catch what falls. Also, cooking with youngsters likely will take more time than it normally would, so set aside extra preparation time.

• Assign age-appropriate tasks. Even children as young as 3-years-old can chop food with a butter knife and soft foods.

• Practice measuring together. Let children read the recipes and be in charge of portioning out ingredients. This reinforces temperature, ratios and fractions. Move on to more sophisticated tasks. Around age eight or nine, children can take on jobs like opening cans, scooping batter, pounding poultry, proo ng yeast, skewering kabobs, and slicing bread. Between the ages of 10 and 12 kids can start working independently in the kitchen, as long as an adult is home. Children also can be involved in cooking by helping to draft shopping lists and taking trips to the supermarket. This shows kids the complete process of gathering ingredients for meals, what they cost and how they are made before foods make it to the dinner table.
