Cooking Song

Chop, mix, fry, bake
Stir, grill, grate, make
Create from kitchen to the plate
Let's do it now, why wait?

Ask an adult to help you cook
Cooking is fun, just take a look
But be careful and take much care
This song will make you more aware
Like ovens can get very hot
And knives are sharp when they chop
Pots and pans make liquids boil
Crispy foods fry in hot oil

Chop, mix, fry, bake
Stir, grill, grate, make
Create from kitchen to the plate
Let's do it now, why wait?

You know about safety so what comes next?
Wash our hands, yes, that's correct
Next take a recipe and read it right through
Grab the ingredients is what you do
Measure each item, take your time
Be accurate for this food rhyme
'Cause too much or even too little
Will give your cake a soggy middle

Chop, mix, fry, bake
Stir, grill, grate, make
Create from kitchen to the plate
Let's do it now, why wait?

Now you're measured and organised
Mix it up as the recipe advised
Stir, fold, whisk the mixture
Compare the look to the recipe's picture
Keep on checking at every stage
Use your eyes and mouth to gauge
If your mixture looks about right
Is it fluffy enough? Is it nice and light?

Chop, mix, fry, bake
Stir, grill, grate, make
Create from kitchen to the plate
Let's do it now, why wait?

Scoop the mixture into a baking tray
Ask an adult to help, okay?
Place it in an oven to bake
Mmh, smell that? It smells great
Take the cake out and cool it down
It's a beautiful, delicious, golden brown
Add some icing to finish it nice
Now give us all a great big slice

Chop, mix, fry, bake
Stir, grill, grate, make
Create from kitchen to the plate
Let's do it now, why wait?
