For the scones lab we started by sifting our dry ingredients together. Next we cut in the butter and mixed the wet ingredients with dry. After this we put the mixture on a floured surface and kneaded it a couple of times, then we took our scone mixture and cut it in four pieces. Next we put some sugar on our scones and put them on a jellyroll pan in the oven. I would say we did a good job as the scones ended up tasting really good, and everyone was happy with how they turned out. A challenge from this was having a fire drill in the middle of our lab, and having to leave in the middle of cooking, but we managed well and things went back on track when we came back.

I personally find the jellyroll pan to be the most useful, because most other things can be done without the appliance we have for them, but the jellyroll pan is hard to replace, as it is almost essential for baking anything in an oven. For example when making the scones, without a jellyroll pan the scones wouldn’t hold their shape and would seep through the racks in the oven. Jellyroll pans are most commonly made of aluminized steel, as this material resists rusting and evenly distributes heat. Unfortunetly the jellyroll pan is somewhat of a one trick pony and can’t be used for much more then its original purpose: to hold food items while they are cooking and to prevent them from sliding off the pan.
