Fix-It and Forget-It kids' Cookbook - Phyllis Good
Welcome to the Kitchen—and This Cookbook!
Hey Kids—
Now you can make real meals! With the help of this fine bunch of recipes—and a slow cooker—you can fix breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Plus desserts and party food.
Tempting Tortilla Casserole
Page 82
When you make food with a slow cooker, you have to think a little differently. Because the food takes longer to cook (remember—slow
cooker), you will probably want to prepare a recipe the evening before you are going to serve and eat it.
In other words, if you decide to have Lip-Smacking Lasagna on Wednesday night, prepare the recipe on Tuesday night. Cook it during the day on Wednesday.
Or if it’s summertime and you’re at home during the day, prepare Tempting Tortilla Casserole early in the afternoon so it’s ready by suppertime.
You can make a whole meal with this Cookbook if you have two or three slow cookers. Suggest that to your parents. They’ll love your help in the kitchen. And now and then as you make these recipes, you’ll need their help, too. You can be a team—the Real-Meal Cookers!
Happy Cooking—and Eating!
To the Adults Who Are Cooking with Kids—
Take your children a step beyond nachos and cupcakes. Let them prepare a tasty main dish in that easy-to-get-along-with appliance—the slow cooker.
Perhaps your biggest job related to this Cookbook is helping the child plan ahead. Several hours separate the preparation of the dish from serving and eating it.
On weekends and during the summer, the child can fix the recipe in the morning or early afternoon for that evening’s dinner. During the school year, the child will probably need to prepare the recipe the evening before the day of serving it.
A few other suggestions:
1 Be willing to yield your space to the child who is cooking. While a child should never be left alone to cook, be prepared to let the child occupy your kitchen as fully as necessary.
2 Try as much as possible to serve as a coach, rather than being in charge.
3 You’ll need patience. Efficiency is not the highest value in this experience!
4 You’ll need flexibility. Kids like to experiment with new ingredients and different procedures than given. Through it all, remember to be an encourager!
5 Realize that children enjoy the tactile experience of cooking. They’re as interested in the process as they are in the final product.
6 Expect messes. Show the child how to clean them up—cheerfully!
7 Consider taking the child along grocery shopping. That will enlarge his/her understanding of the whole food process.
8 Cooking is a natural activity for kids. Allow your own sense of wonder to be renewed—along with the child’s!
9 Invite the child to prepare a dish—or two—for a gathering of family or friends.
Cooking together is one friendly and engaging way to bring your children into the kitchen with you. When they help to fix a meal that they and their family enjoy, they’ll be back to make more!
Learning to Know Your Slow Cooker
Slow Cookers Have Three Main Parts
1 The electrical unit. This is the outer part with the cord attached and the dial on the front.
2 The inner crock. This is the bowl
that you put the food into.
3 The lid.
Important Safety Alert!
When a slow cooker is turned on and cooking, all 3 parts get hot. Use potholders when touching or lifting any part of a slow cooker that’s working.
A slow cooker stays hot for a while even after it’s turned off. Keep your potholders handy.
Learn Your Slow Cooker’s Personality
Some slow cookers cook hot and fast. Others cook more slowly.
Most of the recipes in this book give you a range of cooking times. For example, 3-4 hours.
When you make a recipe for the first time, cook it for the shortest amount of time suggested in the recipe.
If the dish isn’t quite finished at the end of that time, cook it for another 30-60 minutes, or until the dish is fully cooked.
When the recipe is cooked just the way you like it, write the length of cooking time that worked best in your cookbook. Yup. Write in your book. Then you’ll know the right cooking time the next time you make the recipe.
How Full Should You Make Your Slow Cooker?
Slow cookers usually work best when they’re ⅔ full.
Don’t Lift the Lid …
… while your slow cooker is cooking!
When you lift the lid, heat escapes and slows down the cooking. If you just can’t resist, add 15 minutes to the cooking time for each time you take off the lid to check how the food is doing.
A Big Question:
When should you turn on the slow cooker so the food is ready when you want to eat it?
Slow cookers are designed to cook food slowly, so you need to plan ahead to make sure your food is ready to eat on time.
Turning On Your Slow Cooker—4 Easy Steps
1. Pop the inner crock into the electrical unit.
2. Put on the lid.
3. Plug in the electrical unit.
4. Switch on the dial to the right temperature setting.
1 First, check the Prep Time so you know how long it will take to prepare the recipe you want to make.
2 It’s often easiest to prepare food for your slow cooker the day before you’re going to eat it. Follow the recipe directions for preparation.
