Downloaded from hlayiso.com TERM 1 Week 1: Orientation Teacher orientates the learners in the practical workplace. Set the rules and regulations to abide by, when working in the workplace. Discuss the practical tasks for the year. Week 2 and 3: Hygiene, Health & Safety Personal Hygiene Personal hygiene means to be clean and neat on yourself.  Bath or shower daily.  Wash your hands thoroughly before handling food. Also wash your hands regularly, especially after using the toilet, touching the rubbish bin or blowing your nose.  Never cough or sneezes over food or surfaces where food is prepared.  Wear clean, protective clothing such as an apron.  Tie back long hair or wear a hairnet to cover your hair.  Men should be cleanly shaved.  Keep fingernails short and clean and do not wear nail polish.  Avoid wearing jewellery.  Cover cuts and wounds with bandages or plaster.  Never handle food if you have a contagious illness. Kitchen Hygiene Kitchen hygiene means to maintain a clean and neat kitchen.  Keep the kitchen clean and tidy. Clean as you go.  Keep working surfaces and equipment clean.  Sweep and mop the kitchen floor regularly.  Wash and bleach dishcloths regularly.  Wash dishes in hot soapy water and rinse in hot clean water. Leave to air dry of use a clean dishcloth to dry dishes.  Throw away chipped or cracked cups, plates, etc.  Empty kitchen garbage bins regularly.  Wash waste bins regularly with hot water and disinfectant.  Rinse fruit and vegetables before preparing them.
Downloaded from hlayiso.com  Use different cutting boards, knives, etc. for raw and cooked food to prevent cross contamination. Prepare meat and poultry separate from fruit and vegetables. Cross contamination: When bacteria gets transferred from one surface to another  Wash cutting boards, knives, etc. for raw and cooked food thoroughly between tasks.  Cook food thoroughly. Be careful not to reheat food repeatedly because it can lead to food poisoning, especially poultry.  Never lick your fingers when working with food.  Use a clean spoon to taste food and wash it well afterwards.  Keep food covered.  Store perishable food in the refrigerator/freezer.  Store non-perishable food in a cool, dry and dark place.  Don’t store food on the floor where pests can easily get to it. Pests in the kitchen There are different types of kitchen pests, for example ants, flies, cockroaches, rats/mice. Pests carry bacteria and spread diseases. Get rid of pests immediately because they quickly increase in number. Preventing pests:  Clean working surfaces when you are done. Food scraps like crumbs attract pests.  Food must be covered and stored at all times.  Rubbish bins and spoiled food attract flies which transmit bacteria. Empty rubbish bins regularly and make sure bins have lids on.
Downloaded from hlayiso.com Safety in the kitchen There are different dangers in a kitchen, for example sharp knives, hot ovens/stove plates, electricity, etc. Reasons for accidents happening in the kitchen: 1. Haste (being in a hurry) 2. Lack of concentration (not paying attention) 3. Distractions 4. Disorderliness 5. Using wrong equipment 6. Failure to apply safety rules Safety guidelines:  Keep the kitchen floor clear. There shouldn’t be things lying around, it can cause someone to trip and fall.  Clean up spills immediately otherwise someone can slip and fall. Ovens/Stoves:  Handles of pots and pans should be turned to the back of the stove.  Use oven mitts to handle hot baking dishes/sheets. Do not use dishcloths, especially when wet.  Open lids away from yourself to let the steam escape safely and to prevent it from burning you.  Keep dish clothes, oven mitts, etc. away from the stove.  Never leave cooking foods unattended.
Downloaded from hlayiso.com Knifes:  Always cut away from your body when using a knife.  Always use a cutting board.  Carry knives close by your side, pointing directly at the ground.  Don’t put knives in a sink of soapy water – they may not be seen and accidents can occur.  Don’t try to catch a knife as it falls. Electricity:  Make sure all wires, cords and plugs on your appliances are not frayed and that all appliances are in a good working condition.  Never stick a knife, fork or any other metal object in a toaster to retrieve trapped toast. This will cause an electric shock. How to put out fires in a kitchen:  When a fire starts in the kitchen, you need to act fast to keep the fire from getting out of control.  If you have a fire in the oven or the microwave, close the door or keep it closed, and turn off the oven. Don’t open the door. The lack of oxygen will suffocate the flames.  If you have a fire in a pot or pan, use an oven mitt to put the lid on. The lack of oxygen will stop the flames in the pot or pan. Turn off the stove.  Smother the fire with a wet towel or other large wet cloth or use a fire extinguisher.  Never use water to put out grease (oil) fires. Water will cause the oil to spatter.  Don’t swat at a fire with a towel or apron. You’re likely to fan the flames and spread the fire.  If the fire is spreading and you can’t control it, get everyone out and call the fire department.
Downloaded from hlayiso.com Basic First Aid A first aid kit must contain the following basic items:  Gloves  Waterproof bandages  Cotton wool  Tweezers  Scissors  Safety pins  Roller bandages  An antiseptic  Ointment for light burns / Burn Shield  Pain killers Burns and scalding wounds: Burns are caused by dry heat, e.g. fire or when a hand is pressed against a hot plate. Scalds are caused by moist heat such as steam or hot liquid. In case of burns or scald wounds:  Immediately immerse the burnt part of the body in ice cold water or keep it under running cold water.  Do NOT apply butter or any other home remedy.  Put antiseptic ointment on the wound and cover it.
Downloaded from hlayiso.com Cuts: In case of minor cuts:  Rinse the wound carefully.  Put pressure on until it stops bleeding.  Dry the wound.  Put antiseptic on.  Cover with waterproof bandage. Electrical shock: In case of an electrical shock:  Switch off the main switch.  If possible move the person away from the apparatus without touching them directly otherwise you will be shocked as well. Use a wooden object like a broom to get the person away from the apparatus.  Apply mouth to mouth resuscitation and call the doctor. Very important! Always wear gloves when you treat wounds in order to protect yourself against contracting the HIV/AIDS virus.

Measurements for solid foods, such as butter, flour and sugar is often given by weight, not volume. 2. Weight measurements are given in grams (g) and kilograms (kg).
Downloaded from hlayiso.com Combination measurements: 1. Sometimes when measuring you will need to use a combination of spoons, cups and jugs. 2. Margarine must always be measured on a scale. If the recipe says ml, then change the measuring device to measuring cups or measuring spoons. Measuring jugs: 1. Only liquid is measured in a measuring jug. 2. Put the liquid into the jug, place the jug onto a level surface. 3. Bend down and measure the level of the liquid at eye level. 4. It is marked in millimetres. Measuring spoons and cups: 1. Use a clean, dry measuring cup or spoon for measuring dry ingredients. 2. Scoop the dry ingredients lightly into the measuring cup and scrape it level with the straight side of the blade of the knife. 3. Take care not to press the ingredients hard into the cup or spoon. This will make the measuring inaccurate. Activity: Measuring (Demonstration) Practice the correct measuring techniques using different dry ingredients and liquids.

Week 1: Batter and Dough Classification of Flour Mixtures Classification of Batters Definitions In cooking terms, the word batter means:  A mixture of flour, egg, and milk or water that is thin enough to be poured or dropped from a spoon. This includes cake and pancake or waffle batter a well as the majority of cookie batters.  A coating, often of flour and egg though sometimes with bread, which is applied to food that is meant to be fried. For instance, deep-fried fish is often battered. We can clearly see that the difference between batter and dough is that batter is thinner while dough is quite thick.
