New Yr 8 begins- Routines/Menu/Energy slice

Year 8 Kitchen Routine Review

1.   Get an apron on, wash hands (for 30 seconds) and get your equipment out.

2.   2 boys and 2 girls per table, if possible. Stay at this table until week 5 then you can change.

3.   Each student will be assigned a duty (washing, drying, put away and benches), which will change every lesson. If you do shift tables, then your duty letter will change. You are responsible for this.

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 responsible 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 from the hot water cupboard. I will do this after you go.

6.   Spray Bottles are to be used for the work surfaces only. If you are caught spraying anybody, you will lose your food for the next lesson.

7.   Any water spilt on the floor must be cleaned using the “Skody” towel. It is a hazard.

8.   Please bring a container with cutlery to eat/take your food away in. I will not provide any containers or glad wrap or tinfoil. We have very little cutlery.

9.   All food scraps go into the compost bin. All rubbish into the black bin.

10.                 Appropriate behavior is required in the kitchen (no running around, fighting, stealing, yelling etc) otherwise you will be sent from the kitchen. This is a dangerous work space.

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.

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.

Learn and enjoy.

Work as a team.

We learn by doing.

The best lessons come from mistakes.

C3 B4 ME!
Please ask 3 other students what to do before asking Mr Skipworth. Or read the recipe on the board!
