FAQ
Why is ‘Cooking without Fire’ an ideal starting culinary project for Class 6 students?
It teaches essential kitchen skills—washing, peeling, chopping, grating, measuring, mixing, food presentation and hygiene—while preserving raw nutrients in fruits and sprouts and eliminating the risk of stove or flame burns.
How should kitchen waste be segregated during Project 6?
Biodegradable wet waste (fruit and vegetable peels, leftover food) should go into the green bin for composting, while dry recyclable packaging (wrappers, bottles, cartons) should go into the blue bin.
