Cooking for Camp and Field; Friday, First Period [05/14].
Ignis had to admit, it was rather nice to get to teach something that got them all out of the classroom and into the great outdoors instead, although there was a part of him that was wondering if he was taking a great risk by actually holding this particular class outside instead of in the safety of something like the danger shop.
Well. The local fire department had been noting a lack of anything to do around here, hadn't he?
That thought aside, though, Ignis (still dressed to the nines despite being in the wilderness) did actually have confidence that they should be able to avoid any such disasters, and his next concern would merely be his students finding the spot in the preserve he'd scoped out for his purposes, with the exception of Prompto, who he naturally enlisted to help him carry out the equipment and cooler of ingredients for today's assignment.
"Good to see you've all found the place," he began, once it looked like everyone had arrived, and honestly, he would have been worried if they hadn't, he had left very detailed instructions. "Let us begin. This is Cooking for Camp and Field, a survey in various techniques and equipment to allow one to still manage to make excellent and fulfilling meals even when resources are scarce. For those of you who I've not had the pleasure to meet yet," which appeared to be just the one, "my name is Ignis Scientia, I have sort of taken on the mantle as the chef of my team back home, and sometimes that requires one to cook in unexpected and inconvenient places. Even if one does not plan to spend a lot of time out-of-doors, these are all still skills that can be used in every day cooking as well. And with that, let us waste no more time, and we'll get right into it.
"Today will be a simple lesson, familiarizing ourselves with your two main sources of heat for cooking when out on the road: the classic campfire," he gestured toward the empty space where there were divots in the ground for said campfires, "and a portable camp stove," he gestured toward Prompto, who lifted up the equipment with a grin. "For our purposes, we have two very nice Coleman Powerhouse Dual Fuel 2-Burner Stoves that we'll be working with becauseshameless product placement I have always found them to as incredibly dependable as they are superior in quality.
"We'll start with the campfires, and how to both safely and efficiently start one in the wild, and then we'll move onto the stove, which is much easier, but will be a little different to work with than your traditional kitchen stove. But, since this is a class about working in the field overall, we must first seek out some wood for our campfires. We will set the time at, let's say, five minutes, and when you hear the bell," at this point, he reached for a bell and rang it for demonstration, "you'll return to camp and we'll get started in earnest. Please do not get lost, although if we need to reroute this class to be one that focuses a bit more on search and rescue, then so be it."
That was...mostly...a joke.
"Alright, then. Let's begin."
