 What is beating, folding, stirring, mixing, whisking and tossing?
Beat: To mix ingredients over and over again with a spoon until all the ingredients are incorporated. Cake batters, brownie batters and whipped cream are usually beaten.
Fold:
To gently combine a delicate mixture with a heavier one. A whisk or rubber spatula is usually used in and over-and-under motion. For example, you would fold whipped cream into cream cheese when making a cheese cake.
Stirring and
Mixing:
To combine ingredients evenly in a circular motion, using a fork, spoon or rubber scraper. Stews, soups, and anything that gets stirred would be done this way.
Whisk:
To use a wire whisk to beat air into your mixture. You whip in a circular motion, very hard and quickly. Eggs can be whisked to make a fluffy omelet.
Toss: To mix ingredients
lightly with a lifting motion. Salads and pastas are usually
tossed. A fork or tongs may be used.

Ooze
At first you may not think this mixture will ozze, but just place some in your hands and watch it slowly trickle out the sides of your hands and through your fingers!
Ingredients you will need to make about 1 cup/250 mL of Ooze:
- 1 cup/250 mL cornstarch
- 1/2 cup/125 mL water
- Watkins Food Colour, your choice - or mix them together to create your special colours!
Instructions:
- In a small zipper-lock plastic bag, place the cornstarch, water, and food colouring.
- Close the bag and knead with your fingers until the cornstarch is well mixed with the water and the Ooze is smooth.
- Store in a well-sealed container.
 Add a small amount of water and stir with a spoon if the Ooze starts to lose its sliminess.
