apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

This would be more useful to me if it had cooling racks instead of spaces for cookie sheets. I never let cookies cool on the sheets since I only have two and there's almost always too much dough to fit on just those two.

At my child's school there are NO homemade treats allowed. All item except for lunch (of course) have to be prepackaged from a store and full of preservatives:(

At our local schools, all food to be shared must be pre-packaged with ingredients lists. I guess the liability is too high in case some allergic student gets sick (or worse) because somebody forgot to mention the peanut butter in the brownies.

I think bake sales are a different matter, because the school isn't responsible in the same way.

Regarding the rack--I'd think you could balance cooling racks on that, instead of the sheets they have in the picture. This would be tempting for my tiny kitchen, except that I hardly ever bake in my little oven (my standard sized cookie sheets just fit.)

OrganicAndNaturalMom & RebeccaCT,

Just as I feared. Well, back in the late 70s and early 80s (to date myself) when I was a tot in school, things were different and I don't recall any kids getting sick, but I guess this is just a sign of these litigious, allergenic times. I'll get to face this pleasure when our wee one heads off to school, but we have a few years yet.
