6th Grade's Farm to School Program had very exciting Wednesday last week!
The Challenge: Be the cooking team to make the most delicious apple crisp using local applesThe Prize: Our panel of judges will select the most scrumptious apple crisp. The winning recipe will be made by 6th grade for the entire middle school to enjoy next week!
The Event: Imagine this scene in the science room...
- Teams of 3 are eagerly waiting at their prep tables; bowls, peelers, cutting boards, secret ingredient lists in front of them. The team names alone are enough to make your mouth water--Apple Crispies, The Crispy Cookers, Smashing Apples, Sweet Sugar Savers, The BFGs, and Crisp Crunchers.
- Ms. Kramer and Mrs. Davis announce ground rules and the teams take off!
- Teams send one member for ingredients and begin the frantic preparations: Flour is flying, apple peels are proliferating, salt is sprinkling! The Iron Chefs are working together and delegating tasks. Some chefs are carefully mixing their crumb topping; others are washing measuring cups before adding the next ingredient.
- When the prep time comes to a close, all 6 crisps are lined up on a baking pan and baked to perfection.
- Later in the day, the entries are revealed to the judges. The judges enjoy a spoonful of each crisp, cleansing their palates between tastings, and noting their comments on the judging sheet.
- The votes are tallied...though all crisps are delicious delights, the winner is the crisp with the homemade caramel drizzled on top.
- All Junior Iron Chefs get to eat the fruits of their labor :)
