Do you know what this is?

1750
1370
00:03
Do you what we call this in English?

3120
2210
00:05
Well in this video, I'm going to bake some cookies
3
5330
3150
00:08
in my kitchen and while I'm doing that,
4
8480
2290
00:10
I'm going to teach you some English words and phrases
5
10770
3110
00:13
that you can use when you are in a kitchen.
6
13880
2147
00:16
(mixer grinds)
7
16027
1193
00:17
Whoa! (laughs)
8
17220
1071
00:18
(gentle upbeat music)
9
18291
3167
00:25
Well hey, welcome to this video
10
25080
1590
00:26
where I'm going to help you
11
26670
1580
00:28
learn some English words and phrases
12
28250
2300
00:30
that you can use when you are talking about a kitchen.
13
30550
3170
00:33
We are out of cookies.
14
33720
2060
00:35
We have no more store bought cookies.
15
35780
2120
00:37
Those are cookies that you buy from the store.
16
37900
2640
00:40
And we have no more homemade cookies.
17
40540
2430
00:42
Those are cookies that you make at home.
18
42970
2180
00:45
So today in this video,
19
45150
1360
00:46
I am going to bake some cookies from scratch.
20
46510
3300
00:49
That means I am going to use all of the ingredients
21
49810
3230
00:53
that I need to make cookies at home.
22
53040
3030
00:56
But before we get started, though,
23
56070
1170
00:57
if you're new here, don't forget to click
24
57240
1760
00:59
that red subscribe button over there
25
59000
2150
01:01
and give me a thumbs up if this video is helping you learn
26
61150
2450
01:03
just a little bit more English.
27
63600
1620
01:05
So it's important whenever you are making something
28
65220
2650
01:07
in the kitchen that you wash your hands before you start.
29
67870
4090
01:11
So I am using the water from this faucet
30
71960
3180
01:15
to wash my hands and I'm using this hand soap
31
75140
3710
01:18
and I'm going to use this cloth to dry off my hands.
32
78850
4830
01:23
Notice this cloth has a nice
33
83680
1490
01:25
Bob the Canadian blue plaid pattern on it.
34
85170
3460
01:28
So in order to make cookies,
35
88630
1920
01:30
I'm going to need some kind of instructions.
36
90550
3010
01:33
In English, we call this a recipe.
37
93560
2850
01:36
A recipe is something that you find in a cookbook,
38
96410
3920
01:40
like this book right here,
39
100330
1590
01:41
and it gives you all of the ingredients,
40
101920
2620
01:44
the things that you need to make what you want to make,
41
104540
3310
01:47
as well detailed instructions on how to make it.
42
107850
3760
01:51
So when I read my recipe, it tells me what ingredients
43
111610
4290
01:55
I need in order to make cookies.
44
115900
1900
01:57
So I have all my ingredients right here ready to go.
45
117800
3920
02:01
They were originally up here in the cupboard,
46
121720
2950
02:04
but I've put them all out here on the counter,
47
124670
2940
02:07
or countertop, and I think I'm ready to get started.
48
127610
3240
02:10
Of course you might be wondering
49
130850
1430
02:12
what these things are called.
50
132280
2010
02:14
We would call these measuring cups.
51
134290
2940
02:17
These are plastic measuring cups.
52
137230
2280
02:19
We also have glass measuring cups
53
139510
3030
02:22
which allow you to measure
54
142540
1960
02:24
how much of each ingredient you need.
55
144500
2510
02:27
We also have measuring spoons.
56
147010
2720
02:29
So when you need to measure out smaller amounts
57
149730
2500
02:32
of different ingredients, you can use measuring spoons.
58
152230
3870
02:36
And you might be wondering what ingredients
59
156100
2160
02:38
I'm using in this recipe.
60
158260
1790
02:40
Well I'm using flour, oatmeal,
61
160050
3550
02:43
brown sugar, white sugar,
62
163600
3573
02:48
an egg, baking powder and baking soda,
63
168100
3820
02:51
vanilla extract, and of course, chocolate chips.
64
171920
4670
02:56
I should sample some of these
65
176590
1620
02:59
to make sure they're good.
66
179140
2080
03:01
Mm, they're good.
67
181220
920
03:02
So an interesting thing about Canada
68
182140
2360
03:04
is that we have an American system of measurement
69
184500
3370
03:07
on one side of our measuring cups
70
187870
2660
03:10
and a metric system of measurement on the other side.
71
190530
3610
03:14
And there are a few other things I need
72
194140
2190
03:16
in order to bake cookies.
73
196330
1850
03:18
I need a few utensils.
74
198180
1910
03:20
So I have a fork and a couple of spoons.
75
200090
2920
03:23
You'll see what these are for later.
76
203010
1830
03:24
And I also have the baking sheet right here.
77
204840
4330
03:29
This is called a baking sheet or a cookie sheet.
78
209170
2810
03:31
This is what I will actually bake the cookies on
79
211980
2480
03:34
once I have mixed all the ingredients together.
80
214460
3280
03:37
We'll also need a few small appliances to bake our cookies.
81
217740
4040
03:41
I've already used the microwave
82
221780
1590
03:43
to melt the butter a little bit.
83
223370
1700
03:45
We won't be using the toaster.
84
225070
1990
03:47
And we won't need the coffee maker.
85
227060
1960
03:49
But I will be using this mixer
86
229020
2580
03:51
when I put all the ingredients together
87
231600
2720
03:54
and I need to mix them.
88
234320
1010
03:55
We also have large appliances in the kitchen.
89
235330
2940
03:58
I won't be needing the stove to make cookies,
90
238270
2570
04:00
but I will be needing the oven.
91
240840
1520
04:02
In fact, I should probably preheat the oven
92
242360
2900
04:05
to the right temperature.
93
245260
1340
04:06
I'll do that right now.
94
246600
1150
04:10
So I'm setting it to 375.
95
250280
2780
04:13
When this little red light goes off,
96
253060
2490
04:15
we'll know that the oven is at the right temperature.
97
255550
3180
04:18
I think we're ready to make the cookies.
98
258730
2140
04:20
I am going to follow all the instructions in the recipe
99
260870
3740
04:24
and put the ingredients into this mixing bowl
100
264610
3150
04:27
so that we will have cookie dough.
101
267760
2120
04:29
After I have mixed everything together carefully
102
269880
3480
04:33
I will put the dough on the cookie sheet
103
273360
2450
04:35
and we will bake the cookies in the oven.
104
275810
1890
04:37
Let's get started.
105
277700
1016
04:38
(gentle upbeat music)
106
278716
3167
04:46
(mixer buzzes)
107
286732
2583
04:51
(mixer buzzers)
108
291311
3009
04:54
It's going good so far, I think.
109
294320
1600
05:02
(chips rattle)
110
302501
2709
05:05
This is really hard to stir.
111
305210
2110
05:07
I hope I made it right.
112
307320
2103
05:10
If it falls out, you just eat it, right,
113
310770
1570
05:12
if it's a chocolate chip.
114
312340
1250
05:18
Well there you have it, cookie dough.
115
318880
2440
05:21
Next I'm going to use this spoon
116
321320
2300
05:23
to put the cookie dough onto this cookie sheet,
117
323620
3260
05:26
or baking sheet, and then I'm going to
118
326880
2220
05:29
put the cookies in the oven so that they can bake.
119
329100
2503
05:36
I'm not very good at making cookies, by the way.
120
336179
3638
05:41
There we go.
121
341690
990
05:42
So now I'm going to put the cookies in the oven
122
342680
3690
05:46
so that they can bake.
123
346370
1710
05:48
I am also going to set the timer.
124
348080
3250
05:51
The recipe said to set the timer for 10 to 12 minutes
125
351330
4410
05:55
so I'm going to set it for 10 minutes
126
355740
2210
05:57
and now we're going to wait.
127
357950
1490
05:59
This is the hardest part of making cookies
128
359440
3310
06:02
is the waiting, the waiting is definitely the hardest part.
129
362750
3813
06:07
I love the smell of cookies
130
367830
1920
06:09
when they are baking in the oven.
131
369750
1700
06:11
In fact, it just makes me want to eat more of them
132
371450
3120
06:14
and I'm going to try and limit myself to just two.
133
374570
3440
06:18
By the way, did I tell you we were making
134
378010
2030
06:20
oatmeal chocolate chip cookies?
135
380040
1850
06:21
I'm not sure if I mentioned that earlier in the video.
136
381890
2750
06:24
That's definitely what's baking in the oven right now
137
384640
2770
06:27
and I can't wait to have one or two, but not three.
138
387410
4053
06:32
Maybe three, we'll see.
139
392340
2370
06:34
In about four seconds the timer is going to go off.
140
394710
3603
06:39
(timer beeps) There it goes.
141
399883
1317
06:41
When the timer goes off, I am going to turn the timer off
142
401200
5000
06:46
and then I am going to take the cookies out of the oven.
143
406330
3483
06:52
(pan rattles)
144
412022
2500
06:55
Don't they look really yummy?
145
415780
1450
06:57
I'm going to just put them here
146
417230
2000
06:59
on the stove top to cool off for a bit.
147
419230
2500
07:01
You'll notice I'm wearing an oven mitt
148
421730
2490
07:04
because I certainly don't want to burn my hand
149
424220
3530
07:07
when I take the hot cookies out of the oven.
150
427750
2550
07:10
In order to allow the cookies to cool off,
151
430300
2230
07:12
I'm going to put them on this cooling rack.
152
432530
2940
07:15
That will just let the cookies slowly cool off
153
435470
4460
07:19
and then they will be ready to eat sooner.
154
439930
3810
07:23
So there you go, an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie.
155
443740
2970
07:26
I think the last thing to do,
156
446710
1663
07:29
besides the dishes, of course,
157
449220
1230
07:30
is to eat the cookie, or to try the cookie.
158
450450
3370
07:33
Let's see how this tastes.
159
453820
1300
07:36
Ow, it's really hot, mm.
160
456150
1943
07:39
But it's really yummy.
161
459640
1100
07:42
I'm sorry to eat on camera (chuckles).
162
462302
2558
07:44
Well I hope this English lesson helped you learn
163
464860
2420
07:47
just a few more English words and phrases
164
467280
2550
07:49
that you can use when you are in a kitchen.
165
469830
1813
07:51
I am going to finish this video by doing the dishes,
166
471643
3397
07:55
or washing the dishes.
167
475040
1650
07:56
I'm Bob the Canadian and you are learning English with me.
168
476690
