Basic Cookery, Period One
While, yes, there was indeed a fully stocked kitchen available to use as a classroom, it did not have enough of the particular equipment Thor intended to use for his classes. Where "particular equipment" meant "microwaves".
Because yeah, this was basically a class about how to cook stuff with microwaves. So the Danger Shop was set up to more or less resemble a cooking classroom, except for how the workspace in front of each student was dominated by a microwave.
"Greetings, all!" Thor said, beaming at the students as they sat down. "And welcome to Basic Cookery! Now, I can hardly be called a master of the culinary arts, but during my time here in Midgard I have picked up a thing or two," even if the equipment in question was somewhat... primitive. "The 'microwave' in particular has been an extremely helpful food preparation device," somewhere, Hannibal was twitching and didn't know why, "so that is what I have chosen to focus on during our next few weeks together."
"But first, before we begin, I should introduce myself. I am Thor, son of Odin, and it is my pleasure to be your instructor for this summer workshop session. Now, if you would share with us your name, the class you will be entering in the fall, and your favourite food, starting with you," he said, pointing at someone at random.
"Now then," Thor said, once introductions were finished. "Let's get started. Our task today is relatively simple, microwave popped corn!" he handed out a package to each student. "Now, many of you may be familiar with the microwave controls, but for those of you who are not..." he ran through a quick tutorial of what the various buttons did. "You might notice that there is a 'popcorn' button. It is imperative that you do not trust it. This button is deceitful and will result in something beyond saving," he informed them ominously. "Set your microwave to three minutes, and then press start. Make sure you pay attention as the popcorn cooks, listening carefully. Even if there is still time remaining, press the stop button if you hear a pause of longer than three seconds between popping noises. Keeping it in beyond this point risks burning the popcorn, a most unenjoyable result."
So... go forth and pop that popcorn! Hopefully don't burn it! And enjoy a tasty snack once you are done!

Re: Pop Some Popcorn!
Hopefully he didn't burn anything.
