Cooking Skills

Each month we are going to teach you a new cooking skill so keep coming back to this page to learn more and improve in the kitchen. We want your children to draw a cartoon of a scene in the kitchen and send them to us. We will display all the best ones in our gallery so why not start discussing ideas with your child? Download the activity sheet on this page and then send your completed Cartoons to My Cookery Club at the address on the sheet.

	September
	How do I break an egg without getting shell in it?
	You will need a cup or bowl to break the egg into and wash your hands as you will be touching the egg directly. First hold the egg in your hand and tap it on the edge of the bowl or cup. If you tap it hard enough it should make a crack in the shell. Next put both your thumbs inside the crack and pull the eggshell in opposite directions. The insides of the egg should fall into the bowl or cup and you will be left holding the shell. It is then ready for you to cook.
