Helps
1. Baking is preparing an item by heating it in an oven at the proper temperature. (In baking food, there is a change of liquids into solids through a chemical reaction. In order for this chemical reaction to occur, the proper combination of ingredients in the right proportions must be used for the desired outcome.)
2. Always start by washing your hands with soap and water. Begin with a clean counter and utensils. Have an adult in the kitchen at all times. Demonstrate how to be safe in the kitchen by adding other suggestions.
3. Search the Internet or look in a cookbook for additional terms.
