Yr 8 begins- American Brownies

Year 8 Kitchen Routine

1.   Get an apron on, wash hands (for 30 seconds) and get your equipment out.
2.   2 boys and 2 girls per table.
3.   Each student will be assigned a duty (washing, drying, put away and benches), which will change every lesson.
4.   During the demonstration, students need to watch and listen quietly. If this is not possible, the class will be told to sit at their benches for the demonstration. If the chatter continues, the students will be sent from the kitchen. 
5.   Dirty laundry (use only 1 tea towel and wash cloth per lesson) into blue bin at end of the lesson. Don’t replace any of the towels, I will do this after you go.
6.   Spray Bottles are to be used for the tables only. If you are caught spraying anybody, you will lose your food the next lesson.
7.   Any water spilt on the floor must be cleaned using the “Skody” towel.
8.   Bring a container to take food away in. I will not provide any containers or glad wrap or tinfoil. Even bring a fork as we have very few.
9.   All food scraps go into the compost bin.
10.                 Appropriate behavior is required in the kitchen (no running around, fighting, stealing, yelling etc) otherwise you will be sent from the kitchen.
11.                 Remember the dangers in the kitchen (hot surfaces- burns, knives- cuts, long hair – need to tie up, food hygiene- washing hands, don’t eat anything off the floor).
12.                  You will cook the recipe as required but you don’t have to eat it. You need to learn to cook safe food for others.
13.                  Learn and enjoy. Don’t stress too much. The best lessons come from mistakes.
