Frequently asked questions
From what age can kids help in the kitchen?
From around two or three they can sprinkle and stir, preschoolers roll and cut out dough, and school kids can learn to chop with a kid-safe knife under supervision. Go by skill, not the birthday.
How do I keep cooking with kids safe?
Sharp knives, the blender, and the hot oven stay yours — hand them over only when kids have both the age and the practice. Turn pot handles toward the back of the stove, and teach them to ask before tasting anything raw, especially egg dough.
How do I survive the mess?
Plan for it — portion ingredients into bowls, hand out aprons, and keep the action to one patch of counter. A little flour on the floor comes with the territory; make cleanup part of the game.
