Review on πŸ”¬ Edible Candy Science Chemistry Kit by Playz by Ryan Gillett

Revainrating 1 out of 5

I wasn't told the sizes and products are UK

I haven't given a gift yet so I can't rate the recipes or experiments at the moment. I opened the gift to see what products are expected in the kitchen. What surprises me, not pleases me, is that everything is done in metric units and uses products that we don't stock. Also for Walmart, powdered sugar and cornmeal are special order items. We have similar products (powdered sugar, cornstarch) but they are not the same. And what is called "jelly" in the cookbook, we call "jelly-o" in America. There may be other similar things; I only got to page 15 in the book. A few other negatives: The box is too big, which makes the scope of delivery seem poor. The cookbooks/experimental books have many pages, fine print, and white bubbles on an orange background that are not easy for my adult eyes to read. also stretch. For example, part of the explanation of states of matter involved ionization, which I had to look up to remember what an ion is. it would be much better. For example, recipes sometimes mention mugs and sometimes teacups. Super Recipe #3 in Book 1 calls for 250 grams (grams) of powdered sugar. Best I can tell from internet is 2 cups but are they US cups or UK cups and are they the same as metric cups. I want to help them figure out what should be on that sheet. It is also not clear how the two books are supposed to be related. Book 1 covers some of the stuff in Book 2 and the innards as if the material had already been covered.
