Marking Policy Your teacher will mark all the dishes you make. You will also need to assess your work and award a mark using the grades and criteria listed below.

For each practical session you will need to think about how well you worked and how good your dish looked and tasted. This will help you to identify how you can do even better next time.

Grade Criteria A  During the lesson I worked independently and followed the recipe accurately with very little help.  My final dish is attractively presented; it looked appetising and tasted good.  My practical work was completed in the time available.  I was well organised throughout the lesson and completed all washing up and equipment checks independently and in good time.  I used my own judgement during the practical lesson.  I identified ways of improving my dish.  I identified ways of improving the way I worked. B  During the lesson I needed some support from the teacher  I attempted to follow the recipe independently, but needed some clarification.  My final dish was good, but not perfect.  I needed to be reminded how to wash up and to carry out an equipment check.  I found it difficult to complete my work in the time available.  I identified at least one way of improving my dish C  I needed a lot of teacher support during this practical  My final dish was satisfactory  I was disorganised during the practical  My work took much longer than expected (over ran by at least 10 minutes)  I needed help with my washing up and clearing away.  I did not complete an evaluation of my dish during the lesson.

Safety in the kitchen

The food classroom is one of the most dangerous rooms in the school. There are many pupils using hobs, ovens, electrical appliances, hot water and sharp knives. It is very important that everyone AGREES on some simple safety rules to prevent accidents.

Look around the food room, can spot any potential hazards?

Below are a few safety rules. What other rules do you think we need to keep us safe? 1. Do not run 2. Work quietly at all times 3. Listen carefully to all instructions given 4. Always push stools under the tables

Ask for help if needed but DO NOT let an adult do it for you. 4) Decide how you will carry your ingredients to school. 5) Bring a serving dish or container to carry home your cooking. 6) What are the hygiene rules you need to follow? 7) Do you know how to use the equipment listed in the recipe? 8) Does any food need to be put in the refrigerator when you get to school?

What personal hygiene rules you need to follow when preparing food?

Equipment in the Kitchen

This picture shows the equipment from your unit drawer.

Equipment must be clean and will be checked at the end of every practical session. In your cupboard you will find:

Top shelf: Bottom Shelf:

1) Plate 1) Baking tray 2) Three metal mixing bowls - 2) Bun tray small, medium and large 3) Chopping board 3) Sieve 4) Swiss roll tin 4) Cheese grater 5) Cooling rack 5) Measuring jug

Storing Food in fridges and freezers Do’s Don’ts Keep fridges and cupboards clean No raw food next to cooked food Fridge temperature between 1°C and 4°C No out of date food Freezer temperature below 18°C No open cans Cover food No hot Always follow instructions and eat No over loading within the use-by-date

Keep raw meat at the bottom of the fridge to stop it dripping onto other food.

FOOD PRACTICAL LESSONS

1. As soon as you get to school put all your perishable items in the chiller (fresh meat, fish and dairy products). All items must be labelled with your name. Put your bag with your non-perishable items (fruit, veg, tins, eggs, and dry ingredients) on the shelves at the end of the corridor.

2. At the beginning of your lesson take off your blazer, roll up your shirt sleeves, tie long hair back, wash your hands and put your apron on.

3. Read through your recipe before you start, then work methodically following the instructions given.

4. Present your finished dish on the table-cloth with your name label, ready to be marked.

5. Work with your partner to organise who will wash and who will dry. First clear your workspace and scrape all your waste in to the bin.

6. Stack all your washing-up next to the sink and wipe your unit clean before starting. Always wash-up with hot soapy water in the plastic bowl, not under a running tap - glass, china, and wood then metal. Never put sharp knives to soak in the bowl.

7. When you put away; place all your equipment neatly in your drawer or in the cupboard. This makes it easier for your teacher to check. There are lists stuck inside the drawer and cupboard telling you what should be where. If anything is missing, search for it, and if it does not turn up, tell your teacher.

8. When everything has been put away, wipe the draining board, taps and sink dry with a dishcloth wrung dry. Place scraps of food from the plughole in the bin; do not push it down the plughole!

9. Place the washing-up liquid bottle and washing-up sponge back under your sink.

10. Place all dirty/used tea-towels, dishcloths, hand-towels, in the laundry basket.

11. Cover your food and store it in the chiller, all containers should be labelled with your name. You may collect your food at the end of the day. You are not allowed to take it with you to another lesson.

Throughout the lesson you must work hygienically. You do not nibble as you go along, or lick bowls. If you need to assess seasonings in a dish, use a clean spoon for each taste.

Food Safety

Think about what you have learned today – how could you teach others to work safely with food?

For your ILT you need to promote food safety.

You could make a video, poster or PowerPoint (or similar) presentation.
