What are "classroom-friendly" food labs?
When designing labs, we go through multiple trials testing out what modifications can be made to minimize equipment while also maintaining the quality of the product. If there are multiple options or we feel like quality is a factor to consider across options, we’ll mention it in our lab preparation notes.
minimizing equipment
Creating a food-friendly classroom likely requires different and new materials and equipment- especially regarding heating. However, we strongly feel that you do NOT need to equip your classroom like a kitchen.
Many of our labs do NOT use bowls, whisks, or measuring cups. Instead, we rely on disposable equipment like bags and cups and encourage the use of a digital measuring scale for measuring. See an example in the video with our "bread in a bag" lab.
See how this bread is made in a way that is specifically adapted to the classroom.
