Students will be introduced to a variety of cooking oils and examine their nutritional values, costs, and uses.

Students will understand mise en place by collecting and displaying necessary items for today’s recipe preparation.

This lesson is one to use if teaching or reviewing kitchen safety and sanitation. The teacher will need to set up one of the kitchens like a crime scene using props and the scenarios listed on page 1 on this lesson plan. Students have time to observe the kitchen and then will write a detailed article on what they think happend to the victim. If students get done early, have them draw a picture of the accident in the white box on page two. 

Students will learn where various pieces of kitchen equipment are in the lab space, create digital posters to learn more about a single piece of equipment, & watch poster presentations to learn how to properly & safely use different pieces of equipment.

Throughout this project, the students will construct a kitchen pot holder. This project will take about six to seven days (45-minute class periods, with 22 students) for students to complete. Everyday, students will begin with setting up their sewing machines and setting goals for the day. Students will follow the written and video instructions to complete the project. At the end of each day, students will reflect upon what they accomplished and what they hope to improve upon for the following day. As there are written and video instructions, students can move through the project at their own pace.  This project works well for middle school (specifically 6th grade) or as a project to refresh students on how to use the sewing machine and construction terminology in high school.

This unit is about kitchen equipment and materials. Specifically the utensils' names, types, and uses. For materials it goes through the pros and cons and how to properly care for them. This unit also covers measuring, abbreviations, and equivalents.
