Learning to grease a pan is one of the first skills a beginning chef should learn. Here’s how you can teach a child to grease a pan:
- Explain that greasing a pan puts a barrier of oil between the food and the pan that keeps food from sticking to the pan and makes it easier to remove.
- Explain that there are several methods for doing this and several products that can be used. For example, we may spray the pan with a non-stick spray and then take a soft cloth to wipe off the excess and make sure it is well coated. Or we can coat it with vegetable oil or shortening. We usually place our hand in a plastic bag, dip it in the shortening, wipe a think layer on the pan, and then turn the bag inside out to dispose of. You can use a piece of wax paper for the shortening, or a lint-free paper towel for the oil.
- Demonstrate on a section of the pan.
- Have them try it for themselves and demonstrate how to do it.
- Ask them to explain, or narrate, the process to cement it into their minds.
