Part of Lesson Plan: Stocks The Foundation of the Kitchen

Activity Overview / Details

Prepare ahead and warm one quart of the white chicken stock . Make sure the stock is great as this will be their guide for judging their stock. Write requirements for getting in the kitchen so students have them ready (listed above)to go when you are ready to move into lab/kitchen.

As students enter the room, hand them one spoon and check them for the requirements to get into the kitchen. I have them keep a tasting journal and ask them to have this ready immediately it goes in the back of their recipe book before the vocabulary.

Have students taste the white chicken stock and record it in their tasting journal at their seat. Give them 2-3 minutes.
