Home Electrification and Induction Cooking
Katherine Ferwerda Nina Zippay
Description

In this workshop, we will introduce students to all the home appliances that will need to be switched from fossil fuels to electricity. We will focus on the stove, the heart of the home. We will introduce students to Sonoran wheat, a drought-tolerant heritage grain introduced to the Americas by the Spanish missions in 1691. Students will learn how induction cooktops work and why they are so important to the future green economy. Finally, the students will make pancakes and a variety of flatbreads found in almost every culture, from pitas to tortillas. They will be exposed to job opportunities as an electrician, chef, and regenerative farmer. The process of making food is more than creating sustenance; it is an extension of land stewardship, community building, and the passing on of cultural traditions.
