To do so, YOU must write a small note that says you have permission, then have
your
parent sign
it.
Be picked up Friday after school and dropped off Monday morning. (Ovens are
too big to go
on a
bus.)
Experiment baking something. For a review of instructions, see video at:
www.sunoven.com
Also, sample recipes are there too.
Some easy ones include soup, corn bread, cinnamon rolls, pizza,etc.
Always "preheat", bake longer than a regular, and use a thermometer to be sure
any meat is
cooked
completely.
Turn in the oven and a paragraph about your cooking. Even failures are worth
extra credit.
Have
your
parents sign it.
1 extra credit assignment maximum this quarter.
