Snapshot of adventure
Cooking is a great way to see how technology has impacted our lives. As a Cub Scout, you may cook a hot dog using a stick on an open fire, which is the same way humans have cooked with fire for thousands of years. You could also cook a hot dog by boiling it in water in a pot on a stove. The fastest way to cook a hot dog is in a microwave in a matter of seconds. In this Adventure, we will explore technology in the kitchen.
