Orange rolls cooked in oranges over a fire

just found this and really people are complaining about wasting oranges and using a knife. I guess it’s great to hear that they don’t waste anything and their garbage men must love them for never having garbage since they don’t waste anything (was that enough sarcasm?)

My kids are 18, 14 and 10 and learned at 3 to use a butter knife, then a sharp knife. I’m not having kids that can’t use utensils or know how to cook. My 14 yr old loves to bake and bakes without me hovering now because she knows how to use everything responsibly. Oh my dad taught my 18 yr old to weld when he was 5 and my 10 yr old learned how to change brakes and oil when he was that age (not that I’m letting him work on my car but he was shown how to do these things) Kids need to learn things instead of expecting everything to be done for them their whole life.

What one? A camper? An orange? A blogger? Another waste? Please, you’ve confused me! Hehehehe
Good camps!

The worst kichen injury I ever got was with a butter knife while using it to try to peel a banana. I stabbed myself to the bone with the dull point. But I survived that injury by making myself a splint out of a tinker toy to keep pressure on the wound. I was 8 and if I had told my mom I needed more than a bandaid I would have been on my way to the er in minutes. Girl Scouting taught me a lot about what to do in an emergency so I did it. Kids can handle knives, ovens, fires, etc. at a fairly young age with supervision. I was making a banana sandwich. If the stove or a sharp knife had been involved my mom would have been at my side. Next time I made a banana sandwich mom gave me a plastic knife and was right there. I’ve never cut myself with a sharp knife because I have been taught how to use one from age 7 or so. I worked in the pizza industry for 20 years and never burned myself on the ovens. I’ve never had stitches outside of surgery. Because my mom and Scouting taught me the correct ways to use kitchen tools starting at a young age.

Peach pits are poisonous.

No recipe to print out. It’s pretty easy and detailed out with the pictures above.

sarcasm people, sarcasm…

Great idea!

You can then dry out the orange peels over the fire and use them as kindling. My mother would keep the orange peels from squeezing our orange juice every morning before school (for 5 kids)l, put them in the oven of the wood stove all day long and then use them as kindling for the fire in the late winter afternoon. The fire would have a wonderful smell of oranges. She was the original recycler.

As a dierctor of a small Montessori-based pre-k through Kindergarten school, I thank you for sharing the idea that children can be responsible in using knives, helping with food preparation and such. Many parents today much rather do the work themselves than take the time to teach, demonstrate and involve their children in the learning processes of practical life skills. Our school has glass in the classroom that the children begin using at the age of 2 1/2. They are taught to respect and be responsible for their activities, the classroom and the school. At this age, they also begin working in our organic gardens, helping to plant, weed, harvest and prepare vegetables for our snack time. Our students love this work, and are much more willing to try zucchini hummus, baked kale chps and salads because they have helped with the many processes. We strive to instill independence, self-confidence and responsibility in our students, and in the process, we attain happy and calm children who love to come to school! Keep up the great work!

Thank you Ben!

Why are you so fucking stupid?

Very neat!

This looks so incredibly awesome and delicious. I’ll give it a try at my family’s next barbeque. ALSO: I am 13. I have been cooking since I was 10, mostly through examples set by my parents and what I picked up from Food Network. I’ve been comfortable using knives for a couple years now. I make dinner for my family whenever I can, and my own breakfast. Anyone who says kids can’t use knives or cook is utterly blind and horribly sheltered.

I can’t wait for this Wisconsin snow to leave so we can try to make these yummy rolls. Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing!
