to teach teens how to cook, I recomend taking it. The conversations alone would keep me entertained all night. But watching them try to learn knife skills, seasoning, food handling and cleaning are farking hilarious too.
If you ever get the opportunity

Knife skills... 
You should have seen the shape of the chicken tenders by the time my knife guy got done with them tonight.
When cooking on a glass stove top, do NOT put the lid to a pot on a warm burner. My grandma accidentally put a lid with condensation on the inside on the burner. Said lid was suctioned to the burner causing the stovetop to crack.
teaching teens simple bike repair skills went off without any hilarity... Nothing got too effed up....
my mom teaches cooking to 7th and 8th graders. Even I'm sometimes baffled at what some of the students do.
Do tell.
Doh, the stove manual says NOT to do that.
I am probably the only one around that would actually read the manual that came with an appliance.
Appliances come with manuals?
ok I'm confused, heated air expands, so how could it get suctioned to the stovetop? Unless you mean it sat on a warm burner until it cooled, which would mean the air would condense possibly creating a suction. If this was the case wouldn't you just be able to turn the burner back on for a second? This would heat the air and let it come off. Unless I suck at physics.
In jr. high I used to warm bottled spaghetti sauce directly (bottle) on the burner...walk away to take a dump one time, and the glass bottle blows up, splattering the kitchen with Ragu. Place looked like a crime scene. Still wondering why Mom got so mad...
my son is in 6th grade and he is taking cooking, he absolutely loves it
So, were are all the pics or videos of these happenings, I would love to see the taste testingon video when people are cooking for the first time.
I know a manuel but what the hell is a manual?
Manual is the correct spelling, dumbass.
If they did, who would translate the "jibberish" for us???I wish women did.
I know, I just thought he was incorrectly being the spelling police. Meh.
Fvck you.Never mind. It was your brain, not your sense of humor that was broken.
Maybe this should tell you something.
Isn't a manual like a wheelie ?
Good for you Laura.
Teaching is a way to pay back what you owe. I find it both rewarding and challenging. I didn't wake up one day with metalsmithing skills, I was taught and so I shall teach.

Laura don't owe anybody anything. Got that??? Good.
for some reason we have this book at work, and every time a new person starts it ends up at their desk and everyone acts like they have no idea how it got thereI wish women did.
Just kids and animals. Everybody owes something to kids and animals.
As far as the taste testing is concerned, my kids kick ass. We had our end of the year Family Dinner in December and these kids designed the menu and cooked everything from scratch. Chicken noodle soup they made the stock first. Lasagna, they made the sauce and the Ricotta cheese. We didn't make the pasta, but I think we'll try that this semester. They made the bread as well. It all turned out great. Brings a tear to my eye.
Really most of them only come to class because they are hungry and they want to eat it in the end but some of them are really into learning to cook. They've started cooking at home with their families. It's really cool to hear their stories.
Sheesh. Why do I seem so sensitive these days??? I thought I got over that.
oster_oops:
Definitely. Working with kids is an art and you can't beat the free entertainment!
