2. You have identified the food requirements for the dishes you have to prepare for
service. List 3 details you must check when collecting these from storage areas or upon
delivery from stores to ensure quality and freshness and prevent spoilage:
Details to be checked
 Seasonality, as products may have longer or shorter shelf life depending on their freshness
 Price, e.g. cheaper items may be used for stocks than for plated dishes
 Stock rotation principles such as FIFO are important to ensure that the oldest product is used
up first
 Quality standards, e.g. differences in menus and expectations between an aged hostel, café,
restaurant and 5 star hotel
3. Complete the following table relating to the common methods of cookery, providing
details for:

5. List 5 safety aspects which must be considered for each to prevent injuries when using
equipment:
Safety aspects
It's important to check it first for cleanliness to prevent cross-contamination.
When using equipment it’s important to consider WHS.
Any equipment that has to be assembled must be put together correctly
Equipment malfunctions and faults must be reported
Hygiene is key factor during any job and regular cleaning and sanitation of equipment during
usage or when changing a food item.
6. What are the cleaning requirements and considerations for equipment maintenance to
ensure efficiency during service? What should you inspect when assembling equipment?
cleaning requirements, maintenance, and inspection for assembly of equipment
Check the equipment’s cleanliness to prevent cross-contamination
Any equipment that has to be assembled must be put together correctly
Equipment malfunctions and faults must be reported
Hygiene is key factor during any job and regular cleaning and sanitation of equipment during

usage or when changing a food item.

7. What are the scales of doneness and temperatures which apply for meat? What are the
critical aspects that need to be considered when cooking pork and poultry products, as
well as cooking times based on weight and type of meats?
English French Internal temperature
Well done Bien cuit 70 ˚C

Medium A point 60 ˚C
Rare Saignant 55 ˚C
Very Rare Bleu 52 ˚C
Veal, pork and poultry are generally cooked a point at a minimum. Well done veal has an internal
temperature of 77 ˚C. Well done pork and poultry have internal temperature of 85 ˚C.
Pork, veal and beef should be cooked for ̴60 minutes per kg to get it to a point stage; ̴45 minutes
will take to medium-rare. With poultry, ̴45 minute per kg is sufficient for a point, meaning it
will be succulent.

8. How does the location of muscle in an animal affect your choice of cookery method for
the preparation of a dish? How does this affect economic aspects in commercial
cookery?
The tongue – is made of pure muscle and is very tough. Boiling and braising are popular cookery
methods
The neck – contains a lot of connective tissue and the muscles are used quite often. Braising and
stewing is often used to allow the collagen to break down and intensify the flavours.
Front leg shin – the shanks are in constant use, so the muscle tends to be dry, tough and sinewy.
It can be used for soups and stews, as well as for ground beef which is the grilled.
Back – the tenderloin and striploin cuts are among the tenderest cuts of beef, as the muscles do
not do much work. Tender and fatty cuts of meat are suitable for dry cookery methods such as
grilling and roasting
Tail - quite tough and sinewy as the muscle is being used constantly. Boiling and stewing are the
most appropriate methods of cookery for this.

10. Provide 5 aspects which should be applied to ensure even cooking when using a
microwave oven.
Provisions for microwave cookery
1) Food should be prepared in uniform sizes
2) Liquid should be stirred at regular intervals to ensure even cooking
3) A cover such as cling wrap is used to prevent the food item drying out
4) Undercook the food initially, check it, then finish it with short bursts to ensure the desired
result is achieved
5) Cooking times will vary slightly depending upon the microwave used
P.75
11. What is the correct procedure for preparing and cooking pulses?
Procedure:
Combine pre-soaked* pulses with water and seasonings in a large cooking container or heavy
saucepan. If available, you can add 5mL (1 tsp) of oil to prevent foaming.
Use a large saucepan or cooking container, as pulses double or triple in volume during cooking.
(Dry pulses will yield approximately 2-3 times their original amount when cooked.)
Bring water to a boil, cover tightly, reduce heat and simmer until pulses are just tender and not
mushy.
Simmer pulses slowly as cooking too fast can cause them to split or break open.
Guidelines for cooking times will vary with the type and age of the pulses, as well as with the
altitude and the hardness of the water. Follow the instructions on the package for best results.
Tasting is the best way to check if pulses are done. Cooked pulses are tender, have no “raw”
taste, and crush easily in your mouth.

12. Why is teamwork important in a commercial? Provide examples for typical

communication requirements to ensure efficient preparation, cooking and service of
food items:
Importance of teamwork
Being part of a team and supporting other team members raises the whole team productivity
level. Team work can help achieve tasks a lot more quickly and efficiently.
Examples for communication requirements
You may need to talk to colleagues in other sections as well. For example, if you are preparing
the vegetables for the main course, then you should talk the saucier about how the dish will be
presented, so that you can prepare the vegetables correctly. Likewise, you may offer to do the
chopped parsley for the entire kitchen and may receive other mise en place items in return, to
streamline the production process.

your workstation needs to be cleaned for the next shift. List the processes required to
