<font size="3">I would very much appreciate your help in gathering a list of the globally most important kitchen equipment and utensils as my knowledge here is limited to German cooking costumes and standards.</font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm; ">

Every utensil has his parameters. If for example the child choses a pan for frying his meat, the parameters of the pan are time and temperature. As soon as the child has chosen at least one product and the utensil/tool and has set the parameters, the step will be written in the cookbook.</font></p>

<font size="3">Because I suppose, that the meals they prepare won’t be that complex and difficult, I will limit the choice (at the beginning). So first of all I need utensils, which have an impact on the texture. If anything comes to your mind and you want to add anything let me know, and thanks you four support.</font></p>
