Making a meal is something like doing a science experiment.In the lab，scientists heat things up or mix them together to watch them change.When you heat or mix foods，they change，too.Scientists often follow instructions to do an experiment.So do cooks.Their instructions are called recipes.Like scientists，cooks also need jye.ai.Tools help them warm，freeze （冷冻），mix，and mash.

	You're baking a cake.The recipe calls for a teaspoon of salt.But you don't know how much that is.No need to worry about it.Just take out some measuring （计量） tools.Measuring spoons help you figure out small amounts.Measuring cups help you figure out larger amounts.
	Cooks often mix foods.Mixing makes something new.For example，lots of different ingredients make up a salad.To make a salad，cooks use knives to cut up the ingredients.Then they use big spoons to toss （搅拌） everything together.Cooks also use a tool called a blender.It helps them mix tasty shakes.
	Heating or cooling food changes it，too.Most kitchens have two big tools for heating and cooling.Ovens heat food.Freezers cool it down.Good cooks always pay close attention to the temperature in the oven or the freezer，and also need to know how long to heat food.A timer is a good tool for that.If you set a timer when you put something in the oven，the alarm will go off when the food is ready.

When the cooking is done，the experiment is over.Forks，spoons and knives help us cut and pick up food.Without them，we'd have to eat with our fingers.That would be messy!
