Cooking for Kids Trivia Questions
1. On my list of ingredients, it calls for two teaspoons of salt, and two tablespoons of sugar. I know I have one of each, but I can't tell which is which. Help! Which one is bigger?

From Quiz Cooking For Children

Answer: Tablespoon

Tablespoons are the bigger spoon size when measuring food ingredients. There are three teaspoons in one US tablespoon. A set of measuring spoons have increments of teaspoons, usually staring at 1/4 of a teaspoon, and going up by quarters, to a tablespoon. Most measuring spoons come with markings on each one to identify which is which.

2. When making spaghetti for dinner, you bring a large pot of water to a boil. What are you most likely to add to the water before putting in the dry pasta?

From Quiz Kids in the Kitchen

Answer: salt and oil

Pasta cooked in salted water tastes much better. The oil helps prevent the individual pieces of pasta from sticking to one another.

3. The first, and most important ingredient, is eggs. What type of egg can you use?

From Quiz Making Omelettes for Kids!

Answer: Either of these - it doesn't matter.

I never understood the difference between white or brown eggs. And no, it is not determined by the color of the chicken. But I have always had white eggs in my house.

4. The smell of fresh bread, I love that scent -- no goof. Let's make some today! First step, the yeast must _____.

From Quiz Rising to the Occasion, at the Very Yeast

Answer: proof

Proofing to a bread maker can mean checking to make sure the yeast is still good, or a step when bread is rising.

5. What would you put on your frypan before you made something like fried eggs, to stop them sticking?

From Quiz Kids' Simple Cooking Ingredients

Answer: Oil

You can get olive oil or vegetable oil. Apart from that you could use solid fats like lard or margarine (or butter).

6. One of the first dishes I have to make is potatoes julienne and I have to cut the potatoes according to the julienne style. How do I need to cut these potatoes?

From Quiz Cooking For Children

Answer: into pieces shaped like sticks

'Julienne' is just a fancy term for cutting food into the shape of thin sticks. Potatoes are a very common way of creating a julienne dish. Other vegetables are also a popular julienne choice.

7. The first line in your recipe says "preheat oven to 350 degrees". Why is preheating the oven important?

From Quiz Baking for Kids

Answer: To make sure that the oven is at the right temperature to bake your treats.

When ovens are heating, the burner or heating element at the bottom can become very hot. If a recipe needs the oven to be at 350 degrees to bake properly and it is not preheated, this could result in scorching the bottoms while under-cooking centres of cakes and cookies as the oven heats up.

8. A bowl with water, not too hot or too cold. The yeast will start foaming, a sight to _____.

From Quiz Rising to the Occasion, at the Very Yeast

Answer: behold

This process is also sometimes called "blooming" the yeast.

9. Hooray, it is morning. Time for breakfast. Wonder what mommy is making now? I see syrup on the table and mommy is flipping flat circles on the stove. She called them flap jacks once. Do you remember their traditional name?

From Quiz What is Mommy Making?

Answer: pancakes

Pancakes are delicious with so many different ways to eat them. Some people put warm apples over them and others strawberries. There are so many different types of syrup like maple, boysenberry, or chocolate.

10. For breakfast you and your parent have decided to make a western omelet. What kind of meat goes into a traditional western omelet?

From Quiz Easy Cooking for Kids

Answer: Ham

A western omelet is eggs, milk, green pepper, onion and ham.

11. For the party we're hosting, my wife wants us to have a form of home made bread. After combining the ingredients, the recipe tells me to knead the dough. What does the word 'knead' mean?

From Quiz Cooking For Children

Answer: work the dough by hand

Kneading dough by hand helps to stiffen the dough, and allow the yeast to be more effective in making the bread rise while baking. Certain dough types are mixed by machine, but most home made types require kneading by hand.

12. Yogurt or yoghurt or yoghourt (it is spelled different ways in different places) is primarily made from what?

From Quiz Kids in the Kitchen

Answer: milk

Special bacteria called a culture are added to ferment the milk, thicken it and add the special tang you can taste in yogurt. People have been making yogurt for well over 2000 years.

13. The main ingredient has all the power. Be it rye, barley, or wheat, when ground, it's _____.

From Quiz Rising to the Occasion, at the Very Yeast

Answer: flour

Flour can also be made from ground corn or nuts.

14. It's Thanksgiving and your parent is basting the turkey as you help make the pumpkin pie. What does basting mean?

From Quiz Easy Cooking for Kids

Answer: To moisten with a liquid

Basting the turkey will help keep it from drying out.

15. "Black" pepper is actually what colour?

From Quiz Kids' Simple Cooking Ingredients

Answer: brown

It's actually a dark brown. You can buy them already crushed or you can buy peppercorns whole.

16. What is the best way to keep your hands from burning when you are placing things into or taking things out of the oven?

From Quiz Baking for Kids

Answer: Use oven mitts.

Always use oven mitts to protect your hands from burning. If you do have an accident and get a burn on your fingers while you work in the kitchen, you should run them under cold water right away to help get rid of the pain. Always tell your adult supervisor if you burn your fingers. They can help decide if further treatment will be needed.

17. Eggs can be cooked in many ways. Which egg dish are you cooking if you whip eggs with a little milk before putting them in the pan, then mix them up several times while cooking them?

From Quiz Kids in the Kitchen

Answer: scrambled eggs

Scrambled eggs can be made differently by adding crumbled crisp bacon, small cubes of ham, diced sausages, onion, cheese, peppers, or smoked salmon. In India, green chili, chopped ginger, chopped tomatoes and turmeric are added to scrambled eggs to produce a dish called bhurjee.

18. "Fish sticks or chicken nuggets?" mommy asked. She dumps them on our plate and then squirts this red sauce on our plates. We quickly begin dipping and eating. What do you suppose this red tomato sauce is called in America?

From Quiz What is Mommy Making?

Answer: ketchup

Ketchup goes with many things like hot dogs, hamburgers, fish sticks, chicken nuggets, and many more delicious foods. Ketchup is also a good source of lycopene which helps prevent cancer. So eat up that ketchup.

19. What vegetable are chips most commonly made from?

From Quiz Kids' Simple Cooking Ingredients

Answer: Potato

That is why they are sometimes called potato chips. You can have thin ones cold in packets or thick ones hot and fried. They taste great with salt.

20. The recipe for pasta salad tells me to cook the pasta until 'al dente.' How should the pasta feel to be considered 'al dente'?

From Quiz Cooking For Children

Answer: Firm but tender

'Al dente' pasta is firm to bite into, yet still tender. It's a delicate balance between over cooked, and under cooked. Burnt or mushy pasta doesn't work for any dishes, so finding the perfect tenderness is extremely important.

21. Hot oatmeal makes an excellent breakfast. To what do you add the dry oatmeal to cook it on the stove?

From Quiz Kids in the Kitchen

Answer: water

Hot oatmeal is also known as porridge, oatmeal cereal and stirabout.

22. Another addition in omelettes I really enjoy is also a favorite of mine on pizza. The most familiar type is often a brown-grey color, looks like an opened umbrella and can be chopped up. What is it?

From Quiz Making Omelettes for Kids!

Answer: Mushroom

Again, this is a personal preference and they add a lot of flavor to your omelette. You may see them growing on your lawn but I would not suggest eating those unless you are certain they are not poisonous.

23. Put the wet with the dry and now you have dough. Kneading will mix it all, though this work is _____.

From Quiz Rising to the Occasion, at the Very Yeast

Answer: slow

Kneading is an important part of making some breads. The working of the dough helps the proteins to expand and form gluten. Gluten gives the bread its texture.

24. Mommy calls out, "Snack time". We come running in as she is pulling a big bowl out of the fridge and it is red and wiggly. She gives each of us a big helping of this jiggly, wiggly, red stuff. What do you suppose it is?

From Quiz What is Mommy Making?

Answer: jello

Jello comes in many different flavors and colors. A few are Strawberry Kiwi which is pink, Cherry is red, and Lime is green.

25. Oh goodness, you are home sick today with a cold. Luckily, you helped make some chicken soup yesterday. What is the liquid in the soup called?

From Quiz Easy Cooking for Kids

Answer: Broth

The broth is made as the chicken simmers and the juices mix with the water.

26. I've decided to make some chicken Kievs for tea. I've got my chicken breasts, but what other two ingredients do I need?

From Quiz Simple Cookery for Kids

Answer: Garlic butter and breadcrumbs

Chicken Kievs are chicken breasts, filled with garlic butter, and coated in breadcrumbs. Yummy. They are named after the capital of the Ukraine, a country in Europe, which used to be part of the USSR.

27. This is used a lot for some Asian foods.

From Quiz Kids' Simple Cooking Ingredients

Answer: Soy sauce

Soy sauce is in many Asian foods. It gives just a little more flavour and a brownish colour.

28. If someone at your table orders Eggs Benedict, how is the egg to be cooked?

From Quiz Crisis in the Kitchen

Answer: Poached

Eggs Benedict is traditionally a poached egg served on an English muffin with Canadian bacon and hollandaise sauce. It takes a little practice to poach eggs. You put water in a pan and bring it to a slight simmer. Crack your egg in a bowl but do not break the yolk. Once the water is hot, make a whirlpool in the water and tip your cracked egg into the whirlpool. Cook the egg for about 3 or 4 minutes until the egg white is set, then remove the egg from the water with a slotted spoon.

29. Which tiny fish, often preserved in salt and oil, adds a kick of flavour to Caesar salad dressing, pizza sauce, chickpea salad and many other dishes?

From Quiz Kids in the Kitchen

Answer: anchovies

Some people dislike the strong taste of preserved anchovies but that strong taste disappears when they are used in small quantities to flavour another dish. Some people are surprised to learn, for example, that there are anchovies in Worcestershire sauce.

30. Leave the mixed dough in warmth and quiet to rise. Cover with cloth until it grows twice its _____.

From Quiz Rising to the Occasion, at the Very Yeast

Answer: size

The yeast is fermenting and creating gas which is causing the dough to get larger. Some breads don't need to rise at all. Some have a first, second or even third rise.
