I teach students with disabilities in a self-contained program. My students' curriculum is focused around adaptive and life skills. Cooking is a large part of our curriculum, but we only have one oven and a small kitchen. It's difficult to cook in shifts and it's near impossible to cook in our tiny kitchen altogether as a class.
These hot plates, pots and pans, and kitchen utensils will allow me to bring our cooking into my classroom, which is much larger than my kitchen.
I will be able to set up cooking stations around my classroom, allowing my students to cook in small groups all at the same time, instead of cooking in shifts in our kitchen. It will also allow each student to have a part in cooking a recipe versus becoming a spectator when we are trying to cook in our tiny kitchen all at the same time and some students end up having to watch instead of participate. These materials will allow my students to actually practice the life skill of cooking, which is an important step toward their independence.
