What I love most about my students is their eagerness to learn practical skills that they can carry with them beyond the classroom. They are enthusiastic, hands-on learners who thrive when given the opportunity to create. This class is all about equipping them with valuable life skills, fostering independence, and building confidence in their abilities. The addition of these five stand mixers will be transformative for their learning. Currently, with limited equipment, we often have simplify recipes. These stand mixers will allow us to utilize more pieces of equipment simultaneously, maximize our class time, and allow for more difficult cooking labs.
Having multiple stand mixers will empower us to tackle more complex recipes that require consistent and hands-free mixing.
This opens up a whole new world of culinary exploration, from mastering different types of dough and batters to creating more intricate desserts and savory dishes. Students will learn essential techniques like creaming, kneading, and whipping with greater efficiency, building a deeper understanding of the science behind cooking and baking. Ultimately, these stand mixers will provide invaluable hands-on experience, solidifying their understanding of recipe execution and building crucial life skills they can use and enjoy for years to come.
