(bad advice by Grigory Oster)
At the heart of human nature in general, and especially children's, is a curiosity and a thirst for experimentation.Therefore, the kitchen kids pulls like a magnet as soon as they learn to walk.Obviously, parents should not resist interest in favorite culinary alchemy to the children, because in the process, children learn many of these skills, which, I must say, have today not all adults.And the ability to "fry eggs themselves", and even cook something a little more challenging and rewarding - no doubt makes the modern man independent.
The only thing to remember - a few simple rules.First, be prepared that the child will eat itself, otherwise it quickly becomes boring.Second, parents should carefully monitor the actions of the children of the kitchen, up to the point until it becomes clear that this is no longer required.Thirdly, it is known that children are most easily learn during the game, so its elements must be present in the preparation.
first experiments
For 3-4-year-old child in the kitchen keep an eye, so you can start with the simplest things.For example, most children interested in the process of parsing bags brought by the shop, they like to get out of the cabinets and the refrigerator and open the various jars and boxes, deploy wrappers look smell and taste what is inside.And at the same time the baby gets acquainted with the products and the rules for their storage.
also need to remember that at this age the child is difficult to focus on anything for more than five minutes.Therefore, the preparation of meals should take not too much time - 10-15 minutes.Another important point - it is desirable to exclude from potentially dangerous kitchen appliances and piercing-cutting tool.You can use the children's knives and forks made of plastic or steel, but safe for the baby, light unbreakable dishes.For example, in stores today, it is easy to find a set of funny dishes Luminarc of shatter-proof glass, children's cutlery Zwilling Kids, Rivadossi etc.
should also be noted that in this age of Little Chef available only relatively simple manual operations.For example, the ideal option would be the preparation of small sandwiches for breakfast or afternoon tea.For this purpose, suitable to use ordinary bread: adults narezhut loaf (or buy already chopped), and the child with a secure children's knife, cut the large pieces into small squares.Can be spread on bread, cheese, put slices of cucumber or cooked sausage, sweet tartlets suitable for Formation marmalade, boiled condensed milk, syrkovoy mass with raisins.Instead of bread suitable biscuits, for example, are popular with kids baby crackers "Lyubyatovo."
dessert own hands
5-6 years child is quite possible to entrust something more complex.Of course, contact with a stove, oven and other heating devices are still dangerous, as well as a microwave, which is not so hot as sensitive to the use of "wrong" liquid.But cooking a simple salad or tableware child can be charged completely.
contacts with non-dangerous kitchen appliances also should begin at this age.In today's world, where a man with a childhood surrounded by a variety of technically sophisticated devices, children much earlier and quickly master the skills of handling.And if the child can easily handle the computer, then, for example, to control the blender certainly understand.Of course, this must take place with the participation of adults, as the blender blade is not safe.
Needless to say, that to participate in the preparation of a milkshake will not refuse any child.Instructed him to get ice cream and milk (about 200 g per 0.5 liters), fruit or berry syrup (optional - chocolate sauce).Let the young chef will share the ice into pieces and put them in the bowl of a blender, flood syrup (not to overdo it, it is better to use a spoon for this purpose) and milk.Check whether the tight-fitting lid.Of course, to enable or disable the device will be interesting to the child alone.
It should be noted that the selection of kitchen appliances that can use the younger family members, requires some attention, and this applies not only to the security of direct contact.For example, it is clear that the kitchen appliances are not able to work quietly, however, and too sharp, shrill sound, they should not publish.Firstly, it can scare a child, and secondly, is not the best way affect his hearing.Therefore, when buying the same blender should pay attention to its characteristics.
«Some models of blenders, especially for use in cafes and restaurants, working quite loud.In noisy places it is not critical, but for use in our kitchens - quite a serious drawback.Therefore it is better to choose the model adapted for home use.For example, a blender PHB 0817L at a power of 850 watts generates noise is not more than 58 dB, against the usual 70-80 ", - says Elena Krylova, an expert of the company POLARIS.
Also for culinary experiments involving children specialist recommends a blender, a bowl with safety lock, which can prevent the consequences of careless actions.
But back to our cocktail.Ice-cream and milk - is a well-known classic recipe, but not the only one.Good idea - to use milk instead of mango juice with pulp or multifruit mixture (you can mix them) in the same proportion.The drink turns out very tasty, refreshing and beautiful, he will love you and your child.
And this is a serious
elementary school - a time when children are able to learn more complex dishes and kitchen appliances.For example, microwave, to help warm up the dinner when adults are not around.And in the presence of a mother or grandmother manifestation of independence is to be welcomed.
But more interesting to cook along with mom or dad some authentic, for example - delicious pudding .
This will require:
100g semolina;
1 liter of milk;
100 g of sugar;
75 grams of milk chocolate;
25 g butter.
A main ingredient - multivarka.This useful invention in recent years, firmly established in the life of Russian housewives due to its flexibility and "omnivorous", and most importantly - to save time, which it provides.
«I take multivarka POLARIS, chose it because of the non-standard option - mode" Multipovar plus. "It is very convenient - in the process do not need to move anything anywhere and rearrange if complicated dish.The controls are very simple and clear, you can immediately set the sequence and timing of various operations (boiling, steaming, stir-frying, etc.) and then run the program once, "- says the experience Muscovite Tatyana Zakharova.
So prepare our ingredients, pre-expanding them for different pot - just like in cooking classes.Of course, all this makes the child.Then you pour the milk into a bowl Multivarki, enable "Multipovar" and setting temperature of 140 ° C, bring the milk to a boil (just in case you'd better keep track of their own this time).Manage kitchen appliance should not cause problems for the modern student (albeit young), which can easily handle not only Dad's computer, but also much more complex gadgets such as PlayStation Portable.
In the boiled milk add sugar, butter and broken pieces of chocolate.Do it yourself or help Little cook, so it does not get burned.Then the resulting mass will need to stir until chocolate is completely melted.Then pour the semolina, stir and ask the child to turn on the "Multipovar" at a temperature of 100 ° C for 5 minutes.
then take the form of pudding, wetting it with cold water and fill the resulting hot mixture (this operation in order to avoid trouble adult is better to take over).The form with the liquid mass is necessary to cool and refrigerate for about 2 hours.
Ready pudding small chef can decorate ice cream and berries, or pour chocolate sauce and sprinkle with coconut flakes (optional - grated white chocolate).
Now your young chef has every right to be proud of themselves.He is not just an interesting time, but also gained a lot of useful skills, and most importantly - he got the opportunity to try the results of their work.Perhaps now that the kitchen will be one of the favorite places in the child's home.
