Actually Elliott is quite good at that part!! I told him it's more about pulling it into 2 pieces than "cracking" it. Elliott's problem is forgetting that not just his fingers can get burned by the pan. He likes to try and reach over the pan and nearly burned his forearm the last time. If it weren't for that he could probably do it unsupervised!
It actually stemmed from when were were setting up emergency kits, and it occurred to us that we could only pack him food that was ready to eat...so i decided that it was time for him to start learning the fundamentals of cooking....the kid can't live off of MREs and trail mix if it came down to it;)
hahaha I love it!! Personally, I'm working on getting Elliott to make his own eggs :D
ReplyDeletewhen you figure that one out, let me know! I can't get Renton to crack an egg without shell and all going everywhere!

That's brilliant! I'm going to call you and get tips for how to explain things to kids to get them cooking right before I try to teach mine!
ReplyDeletehaha Sure:) Not sure that I've always got the answer, but having worked with kids so long before Elliott helped a lot!
