At what age can you teach kids to cook?We Answered:
That's a perfect age, at that age they are good at remembering and can follow good instructions. Mine made her first "mud pie" at age 9. Try something very basic with them first and give them a chance to cook something they like. If lasagna is their favorite meal, let them make their own. Let them experiment.Derrick Said:
Can I give children cooking lessons as a part time job as a teenager?We Answered:
Unfortunately I think this idea, although good will be impossible for a teen simply because of the insurance aspects. It is unlikely anything bad would happen however if a child is injured or you do damage to someone's kitchen then you will need to be insured. Plus, not sure where you are but in Australia you have to have a Safe Food Handling certificate to be able to work with food.Max Said:
how did you teach your kids to cook?We Answered:
I have 4. They are all grown with children of their own. I did the same for them that my grandmother did for me. At 2yrs of age I stood on a stool and helped her. She allowed me to mix and stir. She did not allow me to come into contact with anything hot or the stove. Back in those days everything was made from scratch. I mixed and stirred for years. She had patience, boy did she have patience.You will need alot of this if you intend to teach your child how to cook. You will have the desire at times to just take everything away from them and do it yourself, DON'T. Praise them if they get something right, praise them if they "almost" get something right. All tell them it's okay if they don't, they will sooner or later. Just to see the looks on their faces when you pull something out of the oven that has been created by their own hands is worth all the clentched teeth and biting of the tongue and forced smiles when down deep inside you are a nervous wreck.
So when it was my turn with my children, I introduced them to food preparation. I showed the how to wash and clean vegetables. I also allowed them to stir and mix. I encourged them as they became older to read directions on the box to me and then I would send them to get whatever ingredients were required from the shelves or frige. I showed them how to measure dry ingredients, poured it all back into the continer and then asked them to do it. They were not allowed around anything hot or sharp until the age that I thought was safe for them and that they were responsible enough. Along with cooking goes responsibility. Safety is also very important. They were never impressed with cleaning up afterwards. However with both Mom and child working together they didn' t mind that much. Later on when they wanted to cook while I was at work. We would split up the kitchen duties. Rule was, if you ate, you had to help clean up. They all loved to eat. Their friends too.
All four, two boys two girls, cooked their way through life. They are still at it. The wives think it's great, the husbands got fat.

Parents do you teach your children how to cook?We Answered:
Good job at teaching yourself. I did too, my mother was a horrible cook. Julia Child taught me, every day after school from 12-15, then I started making up my own stuff. I try to teach my son now and he's largely uninterested. Cooking requires more patience than he has right now. We'll make cookies in the winter but that's about it.Miguel Said:
What food could i teach kids to make?We Answered:
Kick The Can Ice Cream1 (1-lb.) coffee can with plastic lid
1 C. whole milk
1 C. heavy cream
1/3 C. sugar
2 T. flavored syrup (such as chocolate or strawberry) *
1 (3-lb. can with plastic lid or a #10-size can, such as a potato flake can with plastic lid)
Small bag ice, cubed (not crushed)
1/2 C. rock salt
In the small can, add milk, cream, sugar and syrup. Do not fill the can more than half full with liquids or the ice cream will not freeze as well. Cover the small can with a plastic lid and place it into the large can. Fill the bottom half of the space between the two cans with ice. Add rock salt. Fill the rest of the space with ice and put on the plastic lid.
Ask two people to roll the can back and forth to each other for 10 minutes. Remove the lids and scrape the ice cream from the sides of the small can. Stir the mixture. If the ice cream needs to freeze longer, pour water out of the large can. Set the small can inside the large can, adding more ice and rock salt as needed. When the ice cream is ready, there will be about a half inch of frozen mixture on the sides of the can, the rest still in near-liquid form. With a kitchen knife scrape down the frozen ice cream and stir it into the liquid ice cream to create the right consistency.
Makes about 2 cups.
*Chopped frozen fruit may be added with the syrup if desired. It also speeds freezing.
