About this word search

Silverware is the American word for knives, forks and spoons, even when they are made of steel. Dish towel is another American term, and Pantry still means a small room or closet for food in many homes.

Words run in all eight directions. Food processor and Measuring cup are long and unbroken. Look for the double S in Food processor, the K in Knead and the W in Microwave and Dishwasher.

A cooking class could split the list into tools and actions. Simmer, Knead and Roast are the verbs, and the rest are things you can hold in your hand.
