About this word search

Knead has a silent k, Colander comes from the Latin for strain, and a Pestle and Mortar are among the oldest kitchen tools there are. This list is long and full of words that even keen cooks may not say every day.

Food processor is the longest entry, thirteen letters with no space. Find it first, then go for Measuring cup and Baking sheet. The K in Knead and the double m in Simmer help too. Words can run backwards and on a slant in this large puzzle.

Play charades afterwards with the cooking verbs: one person acts out Knead, Simmer or Roast while the others guess.
