My Foods 1 students were already making tortillas from scratch for the taco lab, but the tortilla shells usually ended up lopsided and not uniform in thickness. These tortilla presses made the lab run more smoothly and the students had a lot of fun using them. Students from previous semesters even came by to say how jealous they were!\r\n\r\nThe cast iron skillets will be used in many other labs such as stir fry, cornbread, and cookie skillets. They will also learn how to properly care for cast iron.","fullyFundedDate":1764810423119,"projectUrl":"project/global-cuisine/9630910/","projectTitle":"Global Cuisine","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bauguess","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/t-bauguess"},{"teacherId":16809,"projectId":9629764,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donations to our classroom and our community.
