Questions
1. Describe each of the following cookery methods and how they impact different types of food.
Blanching
Description: Briefly boiling food and then quickly plunging it into ice
water.
Braising
Description: Cooking food slowly in a small amount of liquid, usually
after browning.
Impact on Food: Perfect for tougher cuts of meat and root vegetables.
It tenderizes the food and infuses it with flavor from the cooking liquid,
resulting in a rich and moist dish.

SITHCCC005 Prepare dishes using basic methods of cookery
Poaching Description: Cooking food gently in a simmering liquid.
Impact on Food: Suitable for delicate foods like fish, eggs, and fruits.
It cooks food slowly and evenly without breaking it apart, preserving
texture and flavor without adding fat.
Roasting Description: Cooking food in an oven with dry heat, usually at higher
temperatures.
Impact on Food: Ideal for meats, poultry, and vegetables. Roasting
develops a caramelized exterior and tender interior, enhancing flavors
through browning and caramelization.
Shallow frying
Description: Cooking food in a small amount of oil or fat over
moderate heat.
Impact on Food: Used for items like pancakes, fish fillets, and small
cuts of meat. It creates a crispy exterior while allowing the food to cook
through. It’s less greasy than deep frying but still adds a crispy texture.

5. Describe the meaning and role of mise en place in relation to preparing, cooking and
presenting food.
Mise en place is a French culinary term that means "everything in its place." It refers to the
practice of preparing and organizing all ingredients and tools before starting the cooking process.
Here’s how mise en place plays a crucial role in preparing, cooking, and presenting food:
1. Preparing
● Meaning: Mise en place involves measuring, chopping, and organizing all ingredients
before you start cooking.
● Role: Ensures that you have everything you need readily available, which streamlines the
cooking process. This preparation helps avoid interruptions, reduces the risk of missing
ingredients, and allows for more focused and efficient cooking.
2. Cooking
● Meaning: During the cooking process, mise en place helps maintain an organized
workstation where everything is in its proper place.
● Role: Facilitates a smoother cooking experience by allowing you to focus on the technique
and timing rather than scrambling to find or prepare ingredients. It helps manage the
workflow, making it easier to follow recipes and adapt as needed.
3. Presenting
● Meaning: Mise en place extends to the presentation of the dish, ensuring all elements are
ready for plating and serving.
● Role: Contributes to a polished presentation by having all garnishes, sauces, and
accompaniments prepped and in place. This organization allows for a more attractive and
well-executed final presentation of the dish.
Overall, mise en place is essential for efficiency, precision, and professionalism in cooking. It helps
in managing time effectively, reducing stress, and ensuring that the final product is prepared and
presented to the highest standard.
