SECOND QUARTER MODULES

BRIEF INTRODUCTION:

Hello students! I hope your enthusiasm and passion for learning is still there despite our new
mode of learning amidst this COVID-19 outbreak. This Module is an exploratory course which leads
you to Commercial Cooking National Certificate Level II (NC II) 1. Cookery is both an art and
technology. It is a technology and craft of preparing food to make it more digestible, safe for
consumption, and palatable. The process of cooking has scientific underpinnings particularly in
activities such as measuring ingredients, combining ingredients, and using the right amount of heat to
cook the food. This unit centers on the foundation skills in cookery. This includes familiarizing oneself
with the different kitchen tools, utensils, equipment, and paraphernalia, focusing not only with functions
of each item but discussing also the appropriate way of maintaining these items. The lessons in
maintaining kitchen tools, equipment, and paraphernalia includes cleaning and sanitizing, carrying out
measurements and calculations in a required task, calculate costs of production and importance of
occupational health and safety procedures. I hope you will enjoy and learn a lot from our lessons!

Thus, in this second quarter learning module, you are expected to acquire the essential
knowledge and develop the basic skills prescribed by DepEd’s learning standards aligned with the
MELCs as shown in the table below.

God bless and let’s get into it!

CONTENT DISCUSSION:

Cooking, cookery, or culinary arts is the art, science, and craft of using heat to prepare food
for consumption. Cooking techniques and ingredients vary widely, from grilling food over an open fire
to using electric stoves, to baking in various types of ovens, reflecting local conditions. Learning how to
cook is one of the most important skills a person can have.

A chef is a person who cooks professionally for other people. Traditionally, it refers to a
highly skilled professional cook who is proficient in all aspects of food preparation. The word “chef” is
adopted and shortened from the term chef de cuisine, the director or head of a kitchen. The French word
comes from Latin caput and is doublet with English “chief”. In English, the title “chef” in the culinary
profession originated in the haute cuisine of the 19th century. Today, it is often used to refer to any
professional cook, regardless of rank, though in most classically defined kitchens, it refers to the head
chef.

The various titles given to those working in a professional kitchen and each can be considered
a title for a type of chef. Many of the titles are based on the brigade de cuisine or brigade system, while
others have a more general meaning depending on the kitchen.

If you work in the kitchen under a head chef, you must make sure you follow the rules that he
or she sets out so that your kitchen can run smoothly, and you can enjoy satisfied customers. Remember
that their success is your success, so you must do your chef job as best you can to ensure the success for
everyone involved. You will find that a restaurant chef or a hotel chef will have a lot of stress and
pressure to get foods prepared quickly and expertly. Sometimes you will have a lunch or dinner rush and
there will be numerous meals being prepared at the same time. This will require all the kitchen staff,
chefs, and cooking assistants to be on top of their game and focused, so that there are no errors and
mishaps that could ruin a meal and the reputation of the establishment.

Starting out as a cook or chef is a lot more difficult than it may seem and you will usually
start right at the bottom as a chef’s apprentice or assistant before you are allowed to start preparing any
of your own dishes. You are given set rules to follow and instructions which will make the kitchen run a
lot easier and smoother. You will then be promoted to various other careers as a chef including pastry
chef, commis chef, sous chef and then finally, when you are ready, head chef or head cook. It is only
then that you will get the opportunities to create your own dishes that the establishment you work for
will use on their menu.

To become a head chef, you will need to have a lot of experience in the kitchen and be
prepared to work very hard in lower paying positions first. No new chefs to the kitchen will ever be the
head chef right away -this chef career you must earn. There are specific tasks that each of the other chefs
must concentrate on, and once you have mastered the art of each, you are only fit to stand as one of the
top chefs. You cannot just be good at making certain dishes or meal. You must be diverse and ready for
anything. The chef manager or head chef must be able to cook anything perfectly and create something
splendid from nothing.

All the cook jobs that you will come across are mainly in restaurants or hotels, but there are other
places where one can have a highly successful and lucrative chef career in the hospitality industry, such
as aboard a cruise liner, or in a high-end corporation. There are opportunities readily available, but you
can also make your own opportunities if you have the drive and talent.

Station-chef titles which are part of the brigade system include:

English French Description

Sauté Chef Saucier Responsible for all
sauteed item and
their sauce. This is
usually the highest
stratified positions of
all the stations.

the kitchen.

Pantry Chef Grande Responsible for


Manager preparing cold foods
including salads, cold
appetizers, pates, and

and fish.

5
Pastry Chef Patissier Makes bread goods
such as pastries,
cakes, breads and
desserts. In larger
establishments, the
pastry chef often
supervises a separate
team in their own
kitchen.

Employment is forecasted to grow rapidly in the next five years, by 12.1% or an additional
91,000 jobs. Commercial cookery is a fast-paced, detail-oriented, and creative career path. If you can see
yourself as a future master chef, pursuing commercial cooking could be a smart choice.

There are many different careers in cookery, which may be found at various places of
employment. People who want to work in cookery may find jobs in places like independent or chain
restaurants, cooking schools, private residences, hotels and resorts, cruise ships, schools and universities,
sports venues, theme parks, adult living communities, food service contractor providers, airline and train
caterers, catering companies, supermarkets, country clubs, research and development companies,
hospitals, military bases, business, and industry cafeterias, and more. People working in the culinary
industry may also choose to own their own business, such as an independent or franchise restaurant,
catering company, or food truck.

TOPIC: KITCHEN TOOLS, EQUIPMENT AND PARAPHERNALIA

INTRODUCTION:

A kitchen utensil is a hand-held, typically small tool or utensil that is used in the kitchen for
cooking or for other food preparation related functions. There are other names for the same thing or
subsets thereof, derived from the word “ware” like kitchenware, wares for the kitchen; ovenware, and
bake ware, used inside ovens and for baking, and cookware.

Some utensils are both kitchen utensils and eating utensils. Cutlery and other cutting implements
can be used both for food preparations in a kitchen and as eating utensils when dining. Forks and spoons
are both kitchen and eating utensils.

Other names used for various types of kitchen utensils, again using the “-ware” suffix, rather
than their function:

a) Earth ware, utensils made of clay.


b) Silverware, utensils made of silver.
c) Glassware, utensils made of glass.

Below are the Learning Targets/ Specific Objectives:


At the end of this module, you are expected to:

CONTENT DISCUSSION:

Any cook should be familiar with the correct utensils, devices and equipment in the kitchen. It is
important to consider several things and not only the price when buying them. The job of cooking
requires specific tools, utensils, and equipment for proper and efficient preparation of food. Each piece
has been designed to accomplish a specific job in the kitchen.

KITCHEN TOOLS
Kitchen tools make life in the kitchen easier. It is important to know what these different
tools/utensils can do for a kitchen task that you want to do.

1. Frying Pan, fry pan, or skillet – This is a pan used for frying,
searing, and browning foods. It is typically a 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12
inches) diameter, flat pan with flared sides, and no lid. In contrast,
a pan of similar size with straight sides is called a sauté pan.

10
2. Saucepan (or pot)– This is a vessel with vertical sides about the
same height as their diameter and commonly used for simmering
or boiling. Saucepan generally has one long handle. Larger pot of
the same shape generally has two handles close to the sides of the
pot (so they can be lifted with both hands).
3. Sauté pan – This is used for sautéing. It has a large surface area,
like a fry pan, but with vertical sides to prevent food from
escaping during cooking.

4. Stockpot – This is a large pot with sides at least as tall as their


diameter. Stockpots are typically measured in volume (6 – 36L)
and come in a large variety of sizes to meet any need from cooking
for a family.

5. Colander – This is a type of sieve used in cooking for separating


liquids and solids. It is much like strainer and conventionally made
of a light metal, such as aluminum or thinly rolled stainless steel.
A colander is pierced with a pattern of small holes (or slots in
plastic colanders) that let the liquid drain through but retains the
solid inside.
6. Cutting board – This is a durable board on which the material to
be cut is placed. Kitchen cutting boards are often made of wood or
plastic. There are also chopping boards made of glass, steel, or
marble which are easier to clean than wooden or plastic ones but
tend to damage knives.
7. Ladle – This is a type of serving spoon that is widely used for
soup, stew, or other liquid foods. Although designs vary, a
typical ladle has a long handle. Ladles are usually made of the
same stainless-steel alloys as other kitchen utensils; however,
they can be made of aluminum, silver, plastic, melamine
resin, wood, bamboo, or other materials. They come in a
variety of sizes depending upon the use.

8. Measuring cup – This is a kitchen utensil used primarily to


measure the volume of a liquid or powder-form cooking
ingredients such as water, milk, juice, flour and sugar.

9. Measuring spoons –These are used to measure the amount of


ingredients, either liquid, or dry, when cooking. Measuring spoons
may be made of plastic, metal, and other materials.

10. Cutlery – This is more known as silverware or flatware. It refers to


any hand implement used in preparing and serving food. The most
common of cutlery are knives, spoons, and forks. The best quality
cutlery is often made of silver, though steel is often used. In
restaurants, they are often wrapped in a cloth napkin (serviette).
Plastic cutlery is used when eating in fast food, because it can be
thorn away.

11. Grater – This is a kitchen utensil used to grate foods


into fine strips or crumbs. It is commonly used to grate
cheese and lemon or orange and can also be used to
grate other soft foods.

11
12. Whisk – This is a cooking utensil used to blend ingredients
smoothly. It is usually with curved or coiled wires attached to a
handle. The wires are usually metal, but some are plastic for use
with nonstick cookware.

13. Vegetable peeler – This is used to scrape vegetables, such as


carrots and potatoes and to peel fruits. The best ones are made of
stainless steel with sharp double blade that swivels.

14. Can and bottle opener – This is used to open a food tin, preferably
with a smooth operation, and comfortable grip and turning knob.

15. Kitchen knives – These are different kinds of knives that are
intended to be used in food preparation. There are many
specialized knives that re designed for specific tasks. Kitchen
knives can be made from several materials.

Types of Kitchen Knives and their Uses

Kitchen knives have different types according to their uses. But the general purpose
remains the same – they are very important in cutting things.

a) Chef’s knife – This is used for chopping, slicing, mincing


and performing most food cutting tasks that do not require
a high degree of precision. It is typically 8 inches long. The
cutting edge has a curve, allowing the cook to roll the knife
while cutting and making cutting tasks faster.
b) Serrated knife – This is also known as bread knife. It is a
moderately long blade used for cutting, as the name implies
– bread. The serration allows for easy cutting through the
crust and soft inside of a loaf without significantly warping
the form.
c) Paring knife – Compared to the bread knife and the chef’s
knife, paring knife appears to be tiny, only a few inches
long. It works well for cutting small precision details, and
for peeling fruits and vegetables. It also works well for fine
mincing task, such as with smaller peppers or garlic.
d) Cleaver – This is a heavy rectangular blade designed to cut
through meat and bones in heavy, hard strokes. Although a
sharp cleaver can be used for regular kitchen tasks like
chopping and slicing, for its proper use, the knife needs
minimal sharpening.

e) Boning knife– This is designed for removing bones from


meat, especially fish and poultry. It is typically flexible,
thin and long so that it can be effectively cut into tight
spaces between bones. It is best when used very sharp,
unlike the cleaver.

16. Basting brush – This is a piece of cooking tool designed to assist


cooks with basting, which refers to adding liquid to food for flavor
and to help keep it moist.

12
17. Funnel – This is a conical utensil having a small hole or narrow
tube at the apex. It is used to transfer the flow of a substance, as
into a small-mouthed container.

KITCHEN EQUIPMENT
Aside from the different kitchen tools/utensils that are used in cooking, there are also kitchen
equipment that aid a cook during the cooking process.
More complicated tools are called equipment. They may refer to a small electrical appliance,
such as a mixer, or a large, expensive, power-operated appliance such a range or a refrigerator.
Equipment like range, ovens, refrigerators (conventional, convection and microwave) are mandatory
pieces in the kitchen or in any food establishment.

1. Hand mixer – This is a hand-held mixing device as the name


implies. The modern electrically powered type consists of a
handle mounted over a large enclosure containing the motor,
which drives one or two beaters. The beaters are immersed in the
food to be mixed.

2. Microwave oven– This is a kitchen appliance that combines the


cooking with ease and speed of a microwave with the benefits of
traditional oven cooking.

3. Refrigerator – This is a cooling appliance for the storage and


preservation of perishable food. The food kept in a refrigerator
lasts longer than that left at room temperature as the cold inhibits
bacterial growth. It maintains a cold temperature above the
freezing point of water. Commonly, refrigerators are used in
conjunction with freezers, which maintains temperatures below
freezing, or a refrigerator may have an integrated freezer
compartment.

4. Blender– this is a kitchen and laboratory appliance used to mix,


puree, or emulsify food and other substances.

5. Burner gas range with oven – This is a kitchen appliance with a


chamber or compartment used for cooing, baking, heating or
drying.

6. Pressure cooker– This is a kitchen equipment that allows cooks


to prepare certain foods in less time than required by conventional
methods. A typical pressure cooker comes in the form of a large
pot that includes a locking lid. It is ideal for a wide variety of
recipes including soups, stews, beans, meat, and others.

13
7. Griddle – This is a cooking device consisting of a broad flat
surface that can be heated using a variety of means and is used in
both residential and commercial applications for a variety of
cooking operations. It is used to cook fish, steak, chicken, and
seafood as well as to brown food such as casseroles.

MATERIALS USED FOR KITCHEN TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT


 Aluminum is the best for all-around use. It is the most
popular, lightweight, attractive, and less expensive. It requires care to keep
it shiny and clean. Much more, it gives even heat distribution no matter
what heat temperature you have. It is available in sheet or cast aluminum.
Since it is a soft metal, the lighter gauges will dent and scratch easily,
making the utensil unusable. Aluminum turns dark when used with alkalis,
such as potatoes, beets, carrots, and other vegetables. Acid vegetables like
tomatoes will brighten it.
 Stainless Steel is the most popular material used for tools
and equipment but is more expensive. It is easier to clean
and shine and will not wear out as soon as aluminum.
Choose those with copper, aluminum, or laminated steel
bottoms to spread heat and keep the pot from getting heat
dark spots. Stainless steel utensils maybe bought in many
gauges, from light to heavy.

 Glass is good for baking but not practical on top or surface cooking. Great care is needed to
make sure for long shelf life.

 Cast Iron is sturdy but must be kept seasoned to avoid


rust. Salad oil with no salt or shortening can be rub inside and out and dry.
Wash with soap (not detergent) before using.

 Ceramic and heat-proof glass is used especially


for baking dishes, casseroles, and measuring cups. Glass and
ceramic conduct the heat slowly and evenly. Many of these
baking dishes are decorated and can go from stove or oven to
the dining table.

 Teflon is a special coating applied to the inside of


some aluminum or steel pots and pans. It helps food from not
sticking to the pan. It is easier to wash and clean, however, take
care not to scratch the Teflon coating with sharp instrument such
as knife or fork. Use wooden or plastic spatula to turn or mix
food inside.
 Plastic and Ha
They are much less dulling to knives than metal and more sanitary than wood.
Plastics are greatly durable and cheap but may not last long.

REVISED KNOWLEDGE: Actual answer to the process questions/ focus


questions.

1. Why should you use the right tool in preparing food?

14
 When you cook using the right utensils, you save a lot of time. Having the right pot or
pan makes it much faster to have your dish done in time. Ensuring your food gets cooked
faster means that you can always have your meals on time.

2. How can you prolong the life of a kitchen tool?

 Understanding the care requirements of your favorite tools and utensils prolongs their life
so they can serve reliably for years. Proper cleaning and sanitizing for each kitchen tools
and equipment will surely prolong its life and the quality.

FINAL KNOWLEDGE: Generalization/ Synthesis/ Summary

To become a good cook or chef, one must begin by familiarizing with the different tools,
utensils, and equipment in the kitchen. The use of appropriate tools makes a task easier and faster. It is
also ensuring the product is of the best quality in terms of appearance and palatability. In addition, a
good cook or chef must be knowledgeable on the proper care and maintenance of kitchen tools and
equipment. Proper care is a way to prolong the lifespan of any tool, utensil, or equipment. Another
effective way is to store and stack them properly.

A kitchen utensil is a hand-held, typically small tool or utensil that is used in the kitchen for
cooking and food preparation easy.

TOPIC: MAINTENANCE OF KITCHEN TOOLS, EQUIPMENT AND PARAPHERNALIA

INTRODUCTION:

Cleaning and Sanitizing may be the most important aspects of sanitation program. Sufficient
time is necessary to outline proper procedures and parameters. Detailed procedures must be developed
for all food-product (contact surfaces, equipment, and utensils) and for nonfood product surfaces (such
as nonproduct portions of equipment, overhead structures, walls, ceilings, lighting devices, refrigeration
units, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems to name a few which could impact food safety).

The goal of cleaning and sanitizing food contact surfaces is to remove food (nutrients) in which
bacteria needs to grow, and to kill those bacterial growth. Cleaning and sanitizing procedures must be
evaluated for adequacy through ventilation and inspection procedures.

Below are the Learning Targets/ Specific Objectives:


At the end of this module, you are expected to:
1. Explain the different methods of cleaning and sanitizing.
2. Identify the different types of cleaning agent.
3. Evaluate the importance of cleaning and sanitizing.

CONTENT DISCUSSION:

Cleaning

Cleaning is the complete removal of food scrap using appropriate detergent and chemicals under
recommended conditions. It is important that personnel involved have a working understanding of the
nature of the different types of food scrap and the chemistry of its removal.

Cleaning methods:
Equipment can be categorized about cleaning method as follows:

 Mechanical Cleaning- Often referred to as Clean-In-Place (CIP). Requires no


disassembly or partial assembly.
 Clean-out-of-place (COP)- Can be Partially disassembled and cleaned in specialized
COP pressure tanks.
 Manual Cleaning- Requires total disassembly for cleaning and inspection.

Sanitization
It is important to different and define certain terminology:
Sterilize- It refers to the statistical destruction and removal of all living organisms.
Disinfect- It refers to inanimate objects and the destruction of all vegetative cells (not spores).
Sanitize- It refers to the reduction of microorganisms to level considered safe from a public
viewpoint.

Appropriate and approved sanitization procedures are processes, and thus, the duration or
time as well as the chemical conditions must be described. The official definition of sanitizing
for food product contact surface is a process which reduces the contamination level by 99.99% in
30 seconds with the use of standard test organism.

General types of sanitation include the following:


 Thermal Sanitization- It involves the use of hot water or steam for a specified
temperature on contact time.
 Chemical Sanitization- It involves the use of an approved chemical sanitizer at a
specified concentration and contact time.

Various Types and Uses of Chemicals for Cleaning and Sanitizing


Cleaning and Sanitizing Agents
Cleaning Solution is designed to remove dirt and scrap to clean food contact surfaces like the
food preparation table. Cleaning agents are substances, usually liquids, powders, sprays, granules that
are used to remove dirt, including dust, stains, bad smells, and clutter on surfaces. Purposes of cleaning
agents include health, beauty, absence of offensive odor, and avoidance of spreading dirt and
contaminants on oneself and others. Some cleaning agents can kill bacteria and clean at the same time.

19
Types of Cleaning Agents:
Cleaning agents normally water solutions that might be acidic, alkaline, or neutral depending on
the use. It may also be solvent-based or solvent-containing and is then called degreasers.
1) Acidic- Acidic washing agents are mainly used for removal of inorganic deposits like scaling or
mineral build up in coffee makers, steam tables, and dishwashing machines. The active
ingredients are normally strong mineral acids and chelants. Example of these is vinegar.
2) Alkaline- alkaline washing agents contain strong bases like sodium hydroxide and/or potassium
hydroxide. The alkaline also dissolves grease, oils, fats, and protein-based deposits. Often there
are added dispersing agents to prevent redeposition of dissolved dirt to attack rust on metal parts.
Bleach and ammonia are also common alkaline cleaning agents.
3) Neutral- neutral washing agents are PH-Neutral and based on nonionic surfactants that disperse
different types of dirt.
4) Degreaser- These may be solvent-based or solvent-containing and may also have surfactants as
active ingredients.

The importance of proper cleaning can be appreciated when you realize that contaminated
equipment (equipment and utensils which are not clean) is another major cause of foodborne disease
outbreaks. Cleaning comprises many operations in the food establishment, and the process is usually
specific to the type of cleaning necessary.

CLEANING AGENT for Cleaning and Sanitizing Equipment and Utensils

1. Abrasive cleaners – These cleaners are used to remove heavy


accumulations of soil that are difficult to remove with detergents.
Some abrasive cleaners also disinfect. Clean food-contact surfaces as
needed throughout the day but no less than every four hours. If they
are not properly cleaned, food that meets these surfaces could
become contaminated.

2. Acid cleaners– These are used periodically on mineral deposits and


other soils that detergents cannot remove. These cleaners are often
used to remove scale in ware, washing machines and steam tables.

3. Soaps and detergents – These cleaning agents help water to emulsify


fats and to suspend soil particles. They can penetrate soil quickly and
soften it. Soaps are made from fats and lye, while detergents are
synthetic chemicals. Both act by reducing the surface tension of
water, which increases water’s interaction with soil, surround and lift
the soil from the surface, and allow water to flush the surrounded soil
away. These are used routinely to wash tableware, surfaces and
equipment.
4. Solvent cleaner – These are used occasionally on surfaces where
grease has burned on. Solvent cleaners are often called degreasers

Other Cleaning Agents:


1) Water- The most powerful and popular solvent.
2) Carbon Tetrachloride- A colorless organic compound with a sweet
smell that can be detected at low levels and is widely used in fire
extinguishers.
3) Ammonia- A colorless gas with a characteristic pungent smell.
Ammonia contributes significantly to the nutritional needs of
terrestrial organisms by serving as a precursor to food and sterilizers.

Cleaning and Sanitization of Equipment and Utensils

Steps in the Cleaning Process

20
The cleaning process needs to provide flexibility to achieve acceptable result for a wide range of
different cleaning applications to maximize the effectiveness of cleaning. Focus on these four steps.
1. Cleaning– The first step is to remove all organic material. With the use of a broom, shovel or
scraps, and other materials, this can be best achieved. Remove as much solids as possible to
minimize the use of water in the next step.
2. Washing– This step is the most time-consuming of the entire process. Likewise, the most
important one because washing will remove 99.99% of the microorganisms in the environment
when done correctly.
3. Rinsing – This is also important to remove most of the suspended soil, bacteria, and cleaning
compounds from the equipment and utensils that are not removed from the previous step. Although
the equipment and utensils look visibly clean at this point, they are still contaminated with many
bacteria.
4. Sanitizing – This is a critical step in the cleaning process that requires knowledge in science.
Chemicals are widely used to control, prevent, or destroy microbes in the equipment and utensils.
Sanitization will occur when certain specific chemical concentrations, temperature and time
requirements, and water conditions are satisfied. These conditions are crucial for effective
sanitization. Therefore, precise measurements of the sanitization process are made periodically.

21
Store and Stack Tools and Equipment
To maintain cleaning equipment and kept in a good working condition, it must be thoroughly
cleaned and stored correctly every after use.
1) Utensils should be stored in a clean dry place adequately protected against sources of
contamination.
2) Cups, bowls, and glasses shall be inverted for storage.
3) When not stored in closed cupboards or lockers, utensils and containers shall be covered or
inverted whenever practicable.
4) Racks, trays, and shelves shall be made of materials that are impervious, corrosion resistant,
nontoxic, smooth, durable, and resistant to chipping.
5) Drawers shall be made of the same materials and kept clean. Full-lined drawers are not
acceptable, but the use of clean and removable towels for lining drawers is acceptable.

REVISED KNOWLEDGE: Actual answer to the process questions/ focus questions.

1. What are the basic cleaning agents you must have in a kitchen?

 The basic cleaning agents that we must have in our kitchen are water, detergent,
dishwashing detergent, abrasive, solvent-cleaner and acid cleaner.

2. When should you clean your kitchen?

 We must clean our kitchen every day.

3. How important is it to have a clean and sanitized kitchen?

 Cleaning and sanitizing are the basic steps in a kitchen which revolves around cleaning
during the day and between various tasks. Cleaning and sanitizing are one of the keyways
to prevent bacteria from getting into foods.

FINAL KNOWLEDGE: Generalization/ Synthesis/ Summary


Cleaning and sanitizing may be the most important aspects of a sanitation program. The goal of
cleaning and sanitizing food contact surfaces is to remove food particles (nutrients) in which bacteria
needs to grow, and to kill those bacteria that are present. Cleaning is the complete removal of food
scraps using appropriate detergent and chemicals under recommended conditions. Sanitization is the
reduction or the removal of all living microorganisms to level considered safe for public. It is necessary
to clean the tools and equipment you use; and the area and premises where you prepare food. There are
a vast variety of cleaning and sanitizing agents available. Cleaning agents can be acidic, alkaline,
neutral, and degreasers in nature. Proper manner of cleaning of tools and equipment are needed to
assure safety for the personnel. Kitchen utensils when not in use should be stored in a clean and dry
place.

The cleaning process needs to provide flexibility to achieve acceptable result for a wide range
of different cleaning applications to maximize the effectiveness of cleaning. Focus on these four steps.

TOPIC: CARRY OUT MEASUREMENT AND AND CALCULATIONS IN A REQUIRED


TASK

INTRODUCTION:
Measuring is important for baking and cooking. Although it can be a little forgiving when it
comes to the latter, it takes a while to get used to how much ingredients are exactly needed. If you
cannot measure, expect your results to turn out average to terrible. Cooking is science. From mixing
batter to stir-frying vegetables, you are creating delicious chemical reactions. An accurate balance of
carbohydrates, fats, and liquids results in a masterpiece. Too much salt or putting in too much baking
soda in cookies can destroy the flavor. Muffins will taste bland and tasteless.

Most chefs do measure, and when they don't, it is because they have been cooking a long time.
They understand the amounts of ingredients they are adding because they started out measuring. This is
the primary reason you should measure - because you will learn about cooking better.

As you are measuring, it is a great idea to begin learning what is in each measured ingredient.

Below are the Learning Targets/ Specific Objectives:


At the end of this module, you are expected to:
1. Give the abbreviations and equivalent of measurements.
2. Identify the types of measuring tools.
3. Explain the steps in measuring ingredients.
4. Convert system of measurement according to recipe requirement.

DRY INGREDIENTS MENSURATION

26
Measuring ingredients while cooking is like winning half the battle when it comes to creating
something that will turn out properly and taste amazing. With the right measuring tools and techniques,
any cook can take his/her cooked items a step farther in the right direction.

It is essential for the amateur cooks or baking hobbyists to get into the habit of measuring
ingredients using the right measuring tools such as the measuring cups, spoons, and scales to be sure that
the measurements are accurate.

Tools needed for measuring ingredients are:

a) Measuring spoon 4 to a set: ¼ tsp., ½ tsp., 1 tsp, and 1 tbsp.


b) Measuring cups: ¼ c, ½ c, ¾ c, and 1 c
c) Small Knife or Spatula (for level off dry and powder ingredients)

DRY MEASURING CUPS

When working with dry ingredients, make sure that you favor a dry
measuring cup over a liquid measuring cup although residential style measuring
cups are most common. The thing that sets apart a dry measuring cup has a flat
rim. It has also no pouring spout.

Dry ingredients are measured by filling the cup to the brim and scraping
off the top with a flat utensil. That flat, thin rim makes an accurate measurement
at the top of the cup. Dry graduated measuring cups
are perfect for recipes that may call larger
measurements of dry ingredients, such as pints or
quarts.

MEASURING SPOONS

Measuring spoons are used for dry or wet ingredients, so they work just fine if the dry
ingredients are properly leveled off and the wet ingredients are poured just before they would spill over,
creating a round “bubble” at the top of the spoon.

Measuring Dry Ingredients

Dry ingredients consist of flour, sugar and leavener of the baking world. These ingredients are
usually granulated or powdered.

Measuring Grains, Powder and Dry Ingredients:

1. Measuring cup: Fill the cup to overflowing, level-off with a spatula or with a straight edged
knife. Some ingredients need sifting before measuring to remove lumps.
2. Measuring spoon: Level a measuring spoon with straight edge of a knife to measure small
amounts of salt, pepper, leavening agents or solid fats.
Note: Do not shake the dry measuring cup to level off dry ingredients.
1. Rice and Flour – Fill the cup to overflowing, level-off with a spatula
or with a straight edged knife.
2. Sifted Flour–Most cake recipes call for sifted flour. In this case, sift
flour 2 or 3 times. Spoon into the cup overflowing, level off with a
spatula.
Note: For any type of flour, do not use a measuring cup to scoop the
flour from its storage container as it can overpack

27
the flour, resulting in an inaccurate measurement. When filling the cup, do not shake or pack the
flour but rather use the back of a knife or other flat utensil to level off the flour. Same measuring
applies to baking powder/baking soda.
3. Refined/White sugar – It is measured suing the measuring spoon or cup to scoop it directly out
of the storage container or bag until it is overflowing. Sift sugar once to take out lumps, if any.
Spoon into cup and level off with a spatula or the back of a knife over the rim of the cup. Do not
pack or tap the sugar down.
4. Brown sugar – Pack into cup just enough to hold its shape when turned out
off cup, then pat it down with the back of a spoon. The
goal is for the sugar to retain the shape of the measuring
cup when added to the other ingredients. Level off with a
spatula before emptying.
5. Level a measuring spoon with straight edge of a knife to
measure small amounts of salt, pepper, leavening agents
or solid fats.

LIQUID INGREDIENTS MENSURATION

Liquid measurement and equivalents help you measure how much volume of liquid will occupy
a container. Liquids are more difficult to measure than solid substances due to the surface tension of
liquids. The surface of the liquid poured in a container is not flat, instead it has a convex shape if you
closely observe. This is because of two factors ― the gravity that pulls the liquid downwards, and the
28
surface tension of the liquid next to the sides of the container that pulls it gently towards the edges. This
makes it very difficult to correctly measure the liquids.

LIQUID MEASURING CUPS

Liquid measuring cups are often glass or plastic so that the liquid
can be viewed through the sides of the cup and an accurate
measure can be taken. However, the key feature of a liquid
measure is the rim, which has a lip or pouring spout. The
graduated marking on the sides helps the baker tell the correct measurement, and
the lip or pout makes it easy to pour the liquid into a mixing bowl or other vessel.

It is very important to use measuring cup with pouring spouts or lips. To make the process
easier, the cups must be made of plastic or glass rather than metal. This cup must be placed on the level
surface, pour in the liquid, and view it at the eye level to be sure the liquid hits the appropriate line on
the cup. In the case of smaller measurements, a regular measuring spoon works just fine. Below are
some tips in measuring liquid ingredients.

1. Milk– Use a glass measuring


cup to measure milk. Pour
milk into the cup up to the
measuring mark. Do not lift
the cup. It must be placed on
the level surface and view it at
the eye level.
2. Water –The key for measuring water is to
use a plastic or glass measuring cup, if possible,
and to measure at eye level. It is not enough to
hold a cup under a faucet then dump it into a bowl. Bend down to view
the liquid in the cup and make sure the meniscus of the liquid rests right on the line of the measuring
cup. If the liquid is opaque, such as milk, then simply get as close as possible to the measuring line.
3. Vanilla – This is typically measured in a very small portion since it is
concentrated and aromatic. Many bakers measure vanilla into a measuring
spoon while holding it over the mixing bowl. Actually, it is not the best
idea, especially if you do not have a steady hand. When liquid drips over
the side of the spoon, you may end up with more vanilla in the recipe than
you need, which can throw off the flavors. Instead,
measure over a clean measuring cup or another
bowl. This way, any spilled extract can potentially
be saved to be used in another recipe, since vanilla
is expensive.
4. Oil – measuring oil is just like measuring water or other liquids; only it has a
different consistency. Make sure to measure oil in a clean liquid measuring
cup. If the cup happens to have any water leftover from washing or from a
previous measurement, it can alter the final measurement of the oil, so make sure to dry the cup
before using it.

MEASURING OTHER INGREDIENTS

Cooking ingredients do not always fall into the categories of dry or liquid. Some ingredients are
somewhere in between, with a semiliquid state or something totally different like chopped nuts.
Preparation is very important in measuring unusual ingredients, or those that do not necessarily fall into
these categories of dry and liquid.

1. Butter and shortening– Fats that are solid at room temperature, including shortening and butter,
require their own measuring techniques. Butter for baking typically comes in sticks
surrounded by paper wrapping, and that wrapping is conveniently marked with
measurements, usually in terms of tablespoons. One stick of butter is equal to ½
cup. If you are measuring the old-fashioned way, the correct method is to scoop a
heaping amount into a dry measuring cup, pack it down so there are no air spaces,
and then level off the top with the back of a knife.
2. Chopped ingredients– Many recipes are chopped items, whether they are nuts, fruits or even
candies. Be aware of whether the recipe asks the baker to measure the ingredient
before or after. For instance, the recipe may call for a “12-ounce bar of dark
31
chocolate, chopped.” The ideal way to measure this is to purchase a chocolate bar wrapped and
labeled “12 ounces”, or potentially weigh a hunk of chocolate before chopping it. However, if the
recipe calls for “one cup of coarsely chopped dark chocolate,” then one would measure using a dry
measuring cup, filling it with chopped chocolate until it is leveled with the rim. Nuts are best
measured with dry graduated cups.
3. Eggs– Measuring cup is not always a requirement in measuring eggs but rather an understanding
about the size of the egg you need. You must avoid getting the shells in the bottles
or other ingredients. Always use the size of eggs that a recipe calls for. But if no
size is given, then assume it calls for large eggs., then crack the eggs into a small
bowl glass bowl before adding them to the other ingredients. This will allow you to
see if there are any stray pieces of shell in the eggs and afford you the chance to
pick them out before they get mixed with the other ingredients.
4. Peanut butter– This is much like shortening because it is dense, sticky, and difficult to manage, let
alone measure. When measuring, spoon out the peanut butter into a dry measuring
cup until it is level with the rim of the cup. It will help if the cup is slightly greased
with a tiny amount of oil, which will prevent part of the peanut butter from sticking
to the cup and throwing off the measurement.

REVISED KNOWLEDGE: Actual answer to the process questions/ focus questions.

1. What are the different sizes of measuring spoon and measuring cup?

 The different sizes of measuring spoon and measuring cup are as follows:

-Measuring spoon 4 to a set: ¼ tsp., ½ tsp., 1 tsp, and 1 tbsp.


-Measuring cups: ¼ c, ½ c, ¾ c, and 1 c

2. Why is it important to have an accurate measurement of ingredients?

 Proper measuring of ingredients is important to successful cooking and baking. Some


foods can be greatly affected by too much or too little of certain ingredients.

FINAL KNOWLEDGE: Generalization/ Synthesis/ Summary

Ingredients which are measured by volume and by weight demand standardized measuring
tools and equipment. Accurate techniques in measuring are as important as the tools for
measuring. Therefore, always observe the procedures. The tools needed for measuring ingredients
are Measuring spoon 4 to a set: ¼ tsp., ½ tsp., 1 tsp, and 1 tbsp, Measuring cups: ¼ c, ½ c, ¾ c,
and 1 c, and Small Knife or Spatula (for level off dry and powder ingredients).

spoon with straight edge of a knife to measure small amounts of salt, pepper, leavening agents or
solid fats. Do not shake the dry measuring cup to level off dry ingredients.

Liquid measuring cup-a glass or plastic cup with graduated markings on the side. Place
the cup on a flat level surface. Hold the cup firmly and pour the desired amount or liquid into the
cup. Lean over and view the liquid at eye level to make sure it is the proper amount.

TOPIC: SUBSTITUTION OF INGREDIENTS AND COSTING OF FINISHED PRODUCTS


AND RECIPES

INTRODUCTION:

How many times have you been ready to cook and found you were out of a certain ingredient?
Sometimes it is inconvenient to run out and purchase the necessary ingredient – it is easier to use a
similar product as a replacement. There are, however, several factors to consider when substituting
ingredients. Consider differences in flavor, moisture, texture and weight. And of course, measure
accurately.

If you are opening a restaurant (or any Food and Beverage outlet where food is for sale) or sell
food online, you will always incur costs to produce the food: how you work out what to sell the food for
will help to determine if your business venture is profitable or not. You can determine your food cost as
the percentage of the total of your business sales that are spent on food products.

This percentage should come in around 28-35% for your business to start making money or show a
profit.

However, when you add food cost and labor costs together, as well as overheads and other
incidentals, the figure can be significantly high (50-75%) so you want to ensure that your food costs
don’t come in above 35%…or you will be losing money. By checking your food costs on a
monthly/regular basis, you can easily find trends in popular dishes, product fluctuations and specific
food price change

Factors to consider when taking actual food cost:

You should do your stock inventory either at the end of the day or the beginning of the day.
Accurate stock inventory cannot be made whilst items are being sold or delivered. Also, if the cost of
something has changed (for example you have two chickens that were bought at two different prices),
use the most recent unit price.

40
How do you work out your food cost?

Here is a very simple and recognized formula:


Food Cost % = (Beginning Inventory + Purchases – Ending Inventory) / Food Sales

1) Take a physical count of the stock you have in your kitchen.


For example, you would like to sell home-made burgers. After counting your stock of
ingredients and other materials, you have come up with a stock worth ₱8,000.
2) Add your new stock purchases: If you already have stock in the kitchen and you also purchased
additional stock during the week, you should add the two together by combining the closing stock
for last week with the purchases for this week.

For example, you purchased additional ingredients worth ₱2,000, so the total would be:

₱ 8,000+ ₱ 2,000=₱ 10,000

3) Subtract your ending inventory, after all sales for the period are complete.

For example, after selling for a week, there were ingredients left which amount to ₱2,200.

₱ 10,000−₱ 2,200=₱ 7,800


4) Divide the value by the amount of sales.

For example, your total sales for the week is ₱12,000, then

₱ 7,800 ÷ ₱ 12,000=0.65or65%

This means that you used 65%food cost or 65% in your sales is spent on cost of food.

REVISED KNOWLEDGE: Actual answer to the process questions/ focus questions.

1. In business, how relevant is it to know about costing?

 Costing will help the seller keep track of the business. It will tell him when he has spent
the most and why and it can help him see where he can improve in terms of expenses and
sales.

2. Why is it important to know the substitute for each ingredient?

 It is important to know the substitute for each ingredient because sometimes, it is


inconvenient to run out and purchase the necessary ingredient – it is easier to use a
similar product as a replacement.

41
FINAL KNOWLEDGE: Generalization/ Synthesis/ Summary

Substitution of one ingredient for another may alter the taste, color, moisture content or
texture of the product. For this reason, it is suggested that ingredient substitution be used in
unexpected situations only. If you don’t have the food listed in the “ingredient” column, try one
of the alternatives listed in the “substitutes” column.

Cost is defined as the price of something.to ensure that the seller does not lose in his
selling enterprise, the selling price should be determined after computing all the expenses
incurred

Here is a very simple and recognized formula:

Food Cost % = (Beginning Inventory + Purchases – Ending Inventory) / Food Sales

AND RECIPES

INTRODUCTION:

A kitchen is a room or part of a room used for cooking and food preparation. The main function
of a kitchen is cooking or preparing food, but it may also be used for dining, food storage, entertaining,
dishwashing, and laundry. The evolution of the kitchen is linked to the invention of the cooking range or
stove and the development of water infrastructure capable of supplying water to private homes.

Understanding the basic principles of kitchen layout will help take much of the mystery out of
the design process. One of the most basic kitchen layouts is the work triangle. The work triangle is an
imaginary line drawn from each of the three primary workstations in the kitchen, the food storage,
preparation/cooking, and clean-up stations. By drawing these lines, you can assess the distance required
to move to and from each area and thus, determine how well the traffic will flow. To avoid traffic flow
problems, work triangles should have a perimeter that measures less than 26 feet.

Below are the Learning Targets/ Specific Objectives:


At the end of this module, you are expected to:
1. Read and interpret kitchen symbols and layout according to job specifications.
2. Determine the parts and functions of a kitchen layout.
3. Prepare a sketch and layout according to the type of a kitchen.

CONTENTDISCUSSION:

Understanding the basic principles of kitchen layout will help take much of the mystery out of the
design process. One of the most basic layout principles is the work triangle. The work triangle is an
imaginary line drawn from each of the three primary work stations in the kitchen - the food storage,
preparation/cooking, and clean-up stations. By drawing these lines, you can assess the distance required
to move to and from each area and thus determine how well the traffic will flow. To help avoid traffic
flow problems, work triangles should have a perimeter that measures less than 26 feet.

The three primary kitchen workstations which create the work triangle are:

45
1. The food storage station Your refrigerator and pantry
are the major items here.
Cabinetry like lazy Suzan or
swing-out pantry units adds
function and convenience.
Options like wine racks, spice
racks, and roll-out trays help to
organize your groceries.

2. The preparation/cooking Your range, oven, microwave,


station and smaller appliances are
found in this area. Counter
space is important in this
section. Conserve space by
moving appliances off the
counter with appliance garage
cabinets and space-saving ideas
like towel rods and pot lid
racks.

3. The clean-up station Everyone's least favorite


activity is one of the kitchen's
most important - clean-up. This
area is home to the sink, waste
disposal, and dishwasher.
Cabinetry for this station is
designed to organize with the
trash bin cabinet and rollout
tray baskets for storage
convenience.

Common Kitchen Layouts
Since the kitchen is one of the most active work areas of the home, it is important to select the
right layout to complement your lifestyle and taste.

There are six (6) primary kitchen layout shapes - the U-Shaped, L-Shaped, and Island, G-Shaped,
Corridor/Gallery, and Single Wall shapes.

SINGLEWALL A single-wall of Pullman kitchen


/PULLMAN (One-way Gallery) has all of these
KITCHEN along wall; the work triangle
degenerates to a line. This is not
optional, but often the only solution
if space is restricted. This may be
common in an attic space that is
being converted into a living space,
or a studio apartment. For one cook
to maneuver.
 Ideal for apartments and
smaller homes.
 Works well with the open
designs found in many
contemporary homes.
 Small moveable table can
provide eating space.
 Can be enhanced with the
addition of an island.

CORRIDOR/ The corridor or Gallery Kitchen


GALLERY (Double-file kitchen) has two rows
KITCHEN of cabinets at opposite walls, one
containing the stove and the sink,
the other is the refrigerator. This is
the classical work kitchen.
 Great for smaller kitchens
 Appliances are close to one
another.
 Can easily convert to a U-
shaped by closing off one
end.

L-SHAPED In the L-Shaped Kitchen, the


KITCHEN cabinets occupy two adjacent walls.
Again, the work triangle is
preserved, and there may be even
space for an additional table at a
third wall, provided it does not
intersect the triangle. It provides a
compact triangle.
 Very flexible layout design
and most popular.
 Major appliances can be
placed in a variety of areas.
48
 Work areas are close to each
other.
 Can easily convert to a U-
shaped with a cabinet leg
addition.

U-SHAPED The U-shaped kitchen has cabinets


KITCHEN along three walls, typically with the
sink at the base of the “U” place a
table at the fourth wall.
 Perfect for families who use
their kitchens a great deal.
 Provides plenty of counter
space.
 Efficient work triangle.
 Can convert one cabinet leg
into a breakfast bar.

G-SHAPED The G-Shaped Kitchen has cabinets


KITCHEN along three wall, like the U-shaped
kitchen, and also a partial fourth
wall, often with a double basin sink
at the corner of the G-shape. The G-
Shaped kitchen provides additional
work and storage space, and can
support two work triangles. A
modified version of the G-Shaped
Kitchen is the double-L, which splits
the G into two L-Shaped
components, essentially adding a
smaller L-shaped or peninsula to the
kitchen. It offers a great deal of
space.
 Ideal for larger families
needing extra storage space.
 Plenty of counter and cabinet
space.
 Multiple cooks can function
well in this layout.
 Can convert one cabinet leg
into a breakfast bar or
49
entertaining area.
ISLAND The Island Kitchen (Block Kitchen)
KITCHEN is a more recent development,
typically found in open kitchens.
Here, the stove or both the sink are
placed where an L or U kitchen
would have a table, in a free-
standing “island”, separated from
the other cabinets. The island is also
an ideal place to add an extra sink or
an island grill. In a closed room, this
does not make much sense, but in an
open kitchen, it makes the stove
accessible from all sides such that
two persons can cook together, and
allows for contact with guests or the
rest of the family, since the cook
does not face the wall any more.
Additionally, the kitchen island’s
countertop can function as an
overflow-surface for serving buffet
style meals or sitting down to eat
breakfast and snacks.

Industrial Kitchen

A canteen kitchen/restaurant kitchen-found in hotels, hospitals, educational and work place


facilities, army barracks, and similar establishments are generally (in developed countries) subject to
public health laws. They are inspected periodically by public-health officials, and forced to close if they
do not meet hygienic requirements mandated by law.

Western restaurant kitchens typically have tiled walls and floors and use stainless steel for
other surface (workbench, but also door and drawer fonts) because these materials are durable and easy
to clean. Professional kitchens are often equipped with gas stoves, as these allow cooks to regulate the
heat more quickly and more finely than electrical stoves. Some appliances are typical for professional
kitchens, such as large installed deep fryers, steamers, or a bain-marie.

REVISED KNOWLEDGE: Actual answer to the process questions/ focus questions.

1. What shape is being formed in the three primary workstations?

 The shape being formed with the three primary workstations, which are the food storage,
preparation or cooking station, and clean-up station, is Work Triangle.

2. For you, what is the best kitchen layout and why?

 The L-Shaped Kitchen because it's super functional and can be adapted for almost any
sized space. As the name implies, an L-shaped layout features cabinetry and appliances
along two adjacent walls, creating an obvious triangle path between work zones.

50
FINAL KNOWLEDGE: Generalization/ Synthesis/ Summary

A kitchen is a room or part of a room which functions as food cooking and preparation
area. Understanding the basic principles of kitchen layout will help smooth the flow in food
preparation and avoid traffic.

The most basic kitchen layout is the work triangle with the three primary workstations in the
kitchen, the food storage station, the preparation or cooking station, and the clean-up station.

The Common kitchen Layout are the Single wall or Pullman Kitchen, the Corridor or Gallery
kitchen, the L-shaped kitchen, the U-shaped kitchen, the G-Shaped kitchen, and the Island kitchen.

Industrial kitchen is a canteen or restaurant kitchen, which is found in hotels, hospitals,


educational and workplace facilities, army barracks, and similar establishments. They are inspected
periodically by public health officials and forced to close if they do not meet hygienic requirements.

TOPIC: OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AMD SAFETY PROCEDURES

INTRODUCTION:

Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) also commonly referred to as Occupational Health and
Safety or Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) is an area concerned with protecting the safety, health
and welfare of people engaged in work or employment.

The goals of Occupational Safety and Health Programs include fostering a safe and healthy
work environment. OSH may also protect co-workers, family members, employers, customers, and
many others who might be affected by the workplace environment.

You must identify the hazards where you are working and decide how dangerous they are; and
eliminate the hazard or modify the risk that it presents.

Below are the Learning Targets/ Specific Objectives:


At the end of this module, you are expected to:
1. Identify hazards and risks in the workplace.

CONTENTDISCUSSION:

In this week’s lesson, you are going to learn the types of hazards and risks, and safety
regulations, hazard control practices, and procedures based on organization procedures. You will be
given an opportunity to learn the significance of Occupational Health and Safety Procedures.

There are three steps to manage health and safety at work

The think safe steps:

1. Spot the Hazard (Hazard Identification)

A hazard is anything that could hurt you or someone else. Examples of workplace hazards
include:
 Frayed electrical cords (could result in electric shock)
 Boxes stacked precariously (they could fall on someone)
 Noisy machinery (could result in damage to your hearing).

During working hours, you must remain alert to anything that may be dangerous. If you see, hear, or
smell anything odd, take note. If you think it could be a hazard, tell someone.

2. Assess the Risk (Risk Assessment)

55
Assessing the risk means working out how likely it is that a hazard will harm someone and how
serious the harm could be. Whenever you spot a hazard, assess the risk by asking yourself two questions:
 How likely is it that the hazard could harm me or someone else?
 How badly could I or someone else be harmed?

Always tell someone (your employer, your supervisor, or your health and safety representative)
about hazards you can’t fix yourself, especially if the hazard could cause serious harm to anyone. If you
are not sure of the safest way to do something during work experience, always ask your supervisor

For example:
 Ask your supervisor for instructions and training before using an unfamiliar equipment.
 Ask for help moving or lifting heavy objects.
 Tell your supervisor if you a work practice could be dangerous.

3. Make the Changes (Risk Control)

It is your employer’s responsibility to fix hazards. Sometimes you may be able to fix simple
hazards yourself, as long as you don’t put yourself or others at risk.

For example: You can pick up things from the floor and put them away to eliminate a tripping hazard.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The kitchen is the heart of any home or food businesses. It is also the place where many
accidents occur. Thus, it is very important to pay special attention on how work areas in the kitchen
relate to each other.

Below are reminders for our safety in the kitchen. Without adequate precautions, kitchens can be
hazardous.
1. Repair all faulty appliances like toasters, microwaves, and ovens. Faulty electrical appliances
pose a hazard in your kitchen and can cause serious injury.
2. Service and clean all kitchen appliances on a regular basis. You will find instructions and
recommendations in the owner’s manual. Check the wiring of your appliances to make sure it is
not worn or frayed and that the plug is in good shape.
3. Unplug small kitchen appliances after each use, not only it is safer but also saves electricity.
Almost 40% of electricity is still being used even after appliances are turned off, unless they are
unplugged. Be sure to turn off the appliances before unplugging it to further reduce your risk of
shock.
4. Never touch any appliance with wet hands. Be careful, too, to keep appliances away from all
water sources. Any liquid spills should be cleaned up. Make sure you are not standing in water or
another liquid when you turn on an appliance, as water conducts electricity and this can cause
you to get shocked.
5. Do not overload outlets with too many appliances. This will cause an electrical short and,
possibly, a shock
6. Never let children play in the kitchen and teach them kitchen safety rules. Children should not
be allowed to play with appliances and all electrical outlets should have child-safety plugs.

Control hazards and risks in the workplace.

Running a business in a cafeteria or a big food service establishment is a demanding job. Consider the
following responsibilities if you are a worker or an owner of such business.
 Protecting your property from fire.
 Protecting your property from natural hazards.
 Protecting your property from crime.
 Protecting your staff and visitors from accidents.
 Legislation that may affect your business.

Most kitchen fires occur in kitchen ranges, boilers, or deep-fryers and can often be traced back to poor
cleaning regimes.

A. Protecting Property from Fire

• Ensure that cooking ranges, boilers and deep-fat fryers are fitted with thermostats or emergency cutoff
valves to turn off the fuel supply should a fire break out.

• Ensure that filters are removed and de-greased frequently to prevent a buildup of greasy deposits.

This should be done weekly but you may need to consider more frequent cleaning if the equipment
isused for long periods daily.

• Store all combustible materials away from buildings or perimeter fencing – preferably inside locked
waste bins or lidded skips. Ensure they are emptied regularly. If no suitable outside location is available,
use a secure internal storage area.

59
• Be vigilant when you open and close the premises each day – look for signs of potential trouble e.g.
Graffiti or damage to fences – remove graffiti and repair any damage immediately to deter further
damage occurring.

Electrical faults

Prevention of faults is the answer here and this can be achieved by:

• Frequent visual inspections of all portable electrical items and fixed electrical wiring.

• Regular maintenance of these items by an authorized agency or licensed electrician may be recorded
and monitored.

Smoking

Ideally smoking should be prohibited throughout the premises (including yards and open areas)
and notices to that effect prominently displayed.

• Ensure smoking is restricted to a designated area that is kept free of combustible items such as paper,
curtains, and flammable liquids.

• Provide metal lidded bins for the disposal of ashtray contents and ensure they are emptied safely every
day. Do not dispose of them with other combustible waste.

B. Protecting establishment from natural hazards

Flood

Firstly, check with the Local Authority whether property is in a flood risk area. If it is then you
should: Prepare a flood plan for your business detailing the actions you will need to take to minimize
damage and disruption. Practice putting the plan into action so that you and your staff will be sure it
works and have experience of what to do.

Water Escape

Get dripping taps repaired as they can cause damages.

Ensure pipes are properly lagged using suitable insulation material.

If your premises are likely to be unoccupied for a longer period e.g. over Christmas and New Year,
turn the water off at the stopcock and drain the system if possible.

Storm Damage

Making sure your premises are in a good state of repair, it will minimize the chance of storm
damage - check the building regularly (walls, roof and any outbuildings) and ensure any problems you
find are repaired promptly.

Check at least once a year that roof gutters, down-pipes and drainage galleys are clear and
unobstructed and kept free of leaves and vegetation.

C. Protecting property from crime

Burglary

Thieves frequently see catering businesses as an easy target, and it is wise to ensure that you
have a good level of security at your premises. Locks on external doors should carry standards and
high-quality materials. All accessible opening windows should be fitted with key-operated locks – but
60
protect secluded windows and roof-lights with steel bars, grilles or shutters. Consider fitting shopfronts
with grilles or shutters to deter smash and grab raiders. Given time, almost any physical security can be
overcome, consider fitting an Intruder Alarm system which will act as a deterrent and limit the time an
intruder will have on your premises. Any alarm system should be fitted and maintained. Closed Circuit
Television (CCTV) can help deter and capture evidence of robbery. Any system should be fitted and
maintained by an installer registered with a nationally recognized installation body such as - NSI
(National Security Inspectorate) and SSAIB (Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board). When
your premises are closed, lock away portable electronic equipment e.g. laptop computers in a secure
cabinet. Consider fitting access control locks on entrance doors to prevent intimidation or robbery.

Theft of money

Keeping cash on the premises overnight increases the chance of a break in:
 Keep as little cash on the premises as possible and keep it out of public view.
 Where possible, cash should not be left on the premises outside business hours.
 Empty the cash register over-night and leave the drawer open as this often deters thieves.

D. Protecting your staff and visitors from accidents. “Prevention is better (and cheaper) than
cure”.

Slips, Trips and Falls

The most common type of workplace accident, these can be easily and cheaply prevented in most
cases and will often bring other benefits.

• Keeping the premises clean, tidy, congestion-free and well lit will go a long way to preventing
most of this type of accident.

• Clear up spillage promptly and post warning notices.

• Repair or replace damaged floor coverings immediately – especially on stairways and areas where
the public have access.

• Keep a clearly always marked first-aid kit available.

Electricity

Electricity can, and does, kill and the law insists that your electrical installation must be safe.

• Ensure electrical equipment is only used for the purpose for which it was designed.

• Use a qualified electrician for electrical installation work and for regular testing of portable
electrical items to ensure they are in good working order.

Fire safety

Carrying out a fire risk assessment is a legal requirement for all businesses (even oneperson
operations); this helps prevent fires and ensures swift evacuation of the premises by employees and
the public in the event of a fire.

• Ensure you have clearly signed and unobstructed escape routes and that your staff are aware of the
evacuation procedure. Arrange regular practices to reinforce this.

• Ensure that you make a specific member of your staff responsible for customers’ and visitors’
safety in the event of an emergency evacuation of the premises.

Manual handling/lifting

Preventing injuries caused by manual lifting of heavy items is also the subject of regulations and
solutions to this problem can easily be achieved.
61
• If loads must be manually lifted, ensure they are carried by at least two people and that training in
lifting techniques is provided.

• Provide mechanical equipment e.g. trolleys to assist staff in unloading and moving deliveries. In
addition, ensure deliveries are as close as possible to the location where they will be stored or used.

Accident reporting and investigation

• Make sure that all accidents and incidents are recorded and investigated as lessons can be learned
to prevent them in future. As long as the recording method is accessible and secure it will be
accepted – computer records are fine.

E. Legislations that may affect business

We have mentioned some areas where legislation may affect your business - Fire Safety, Food
Hygiene and Electricity. There may be other regulations from other regulatory board like Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) particularly on manufacturing, packaging, and storing food. Be aware
and knowledgeable

REVISED KNOWLEDGE: Actual answer to the process questions/ focus questions.

1. What are the most common accidents that occur in the kitchen?

 Knives are everywhere in the kitchen; in the sink, on the surfaces and in the cupboards
and drawers, they are not easy to avoid. Knife cuts and lacerations are the most common
accidents in the kitchen. Blunt knives are common culprits of causing you to slip whilst
chopping food.

2. How can you avoid or lessen the accidents in the kitchen?


 Keep your kitchen clean. This will prevent kitchen injuries and give you the space to
work when needed.
-Clean your stove and oven after use. Debris on burners or in the oven can catch fire,
especially grease and fat. Wait until they have cooled, however; do not wipe a burner
while it is still on or hot.

-Clean up spills. Liquids on the floor can cause you to slip and fall. If you can't clean it

up right away, throw a towel onto the spot to remind you to get to it as soon as you can.

 Keep counters clear of clutter. Put away dishes and utensils after you are done with them,
and they have been cleaned. You should always have enough room on your stove and
counters to do what you need for cooking. Keeping your stove and counters clear will
reduce the chances of things falling.

FINAL KNOWLEDGE: Generalization/ Synthesis/ Summary

Occupational Safety and Health (OSH)/Occupational Health and Safety or Workplace


Health and Safety (WHS) are concerned with protecting the safety, health, and welfare of people
engaged in work or employment.

A hazard is anything that could hurt you or someone. Assessing the risk means working
out how likely it is that a hazard will harm someone and how serious the harm could be.

Some kitchen hazards: rinsing raw meat 62and poultry, having a greasy range hood and filter
exposure to radon gas, no fire extinguisher, using dirty sponge, exposure to carbon monoxide,
exposure to molds, overloaded circuits, bad storage habits in the refrigerator to name a few.
