If you’re an amateur, intermediate, or pro chef, you may come to a point in life where you want to share this activity with your loved ones. Your child, for instance, is a common example of someone you may want to do some cooking with, but obviously it’s not that simple. There are so many things in the kitchen that your child needs to be careful of, and their tasks need to be somewhat limited. Here are three things they can do in the kitchen that are pretty safe.

Mixing Batter

One of the safest cooking or baking tasks your child can do is mixing batter. The safest bet is obviously for them to use a big spoon, but they could also use an electrical mixer if they’re old enough and careful enough.

Cracking Eggs

The only real potential danger when it comes to cracking eggs is that your child can potentially cut themselves on an egg shell. But in the grand scheme of all other things in the kitchen, it’s a pretty harmless task that’ll teach them a valuable skill.

Measurements

As long as we’re on the topic of baking, you might as well allow them to try measuring liquids as well. Whether it’s a half cup of water or a teaspoon of vanilla, this is pretty safe and harmless work that they’ll love.
