Storage for school cooking classes

[musicalfrog]

Hi I'm looking for storage solutions so I can send my kid into school with small amounts of liquid, oils, eggs etc must be leak proof! Preferably reusable.

Also what on earth do you give them to bring back a cooked pizza in??

Thank you in advance.

We paid a termly fee and the school provided ingredients and containers for the cooked food. Everyone taking a tiny amount of everything in doesn't sound sensible

Salad dressing containers are good for this.

From experience I wouldn’t buy anything special- it may get lost. I send mine in with ingredients in old hummus/ salsa/ guacamole containers. No biggie if they don’t bring them back.

Mini glass jam jars are useful.
Water bottles for milk- can be recycled at the end.
Eggs wrap up in kitchen roll.
Old take away containers are good, and you don’t mind too much if they don’t come back.
Definitely label it all!

Jam jars- leak proof and range of sizes. Also used to send milk in a water/juice bottle. Eggs wrapped in kitchen paper and placed in container

Sistema makes little snack pots and yoghurt pots with screw lids that might be useful

Glad to see that cookery classes are back in schools, but are pupils not taught to make real food ?

Pizza is cheese on toast. I'm not averse to it especially eaten cold for breakfast , but it's not a proper meal.

@oncemoreuntothebeachdearfriends normally I would agree but they are also making the pizza dough 😁

Pizza is a great dish for kids to make- lots of skills. Dough, knife skills, safe oven use.

Many schools get only an hour in a lesson to prep and cook - it’s not long with a class of 20/ 25

This is what we use along with sandwich bags. The pizza came home in a big Tupperware in slices between greaseproof paper although most of it was eaten on the way home!

Have a look in the baby section for little weaning/snack tubs.
I wouldn’t expect pizza to make it home.

DD’s high school won’t do this. I think we only have about 3 more actual cooking lessons ever though ! She uses whatever packed lunch type Tupperware/Sistema/Lock n Lock type pots and boxes we gave. A pizza can be - eaten for lunch, or 2 - sliced and layered in slices with greaseproof paper in between in a lunchbox with

Middle school did provide ingredients and boxes though, it was wonderful.

DS uses siestema pots for the little ingredients https://amzn.eu/d/01OM2Y4w bigger Tupperware for things like flour and he takes it all in an old celebrations tub, which he then uses to transport the finished product home.
