INTRODUCTION
Kitchen and restaurant operations are essential activities that are carried out to run a successful
business.
In this module we will be focusing on the different kitchen utensils and their care, the metric
measurement system for measuring wet and dry ingredients, recipes in the standard format, the
main elements of heating and cooking methods, namely moist and dry heat methods.
Unit 3.1: KITCHEN APPARATUS & EQUIPMENT
- Identify, of equipment and apparatus
- Functions/correct use and handling practises of equipment and
apparatus
- General cleaning and caring of equipment and apparatus
Any cook should be familiar with the correct utensils, apparatus, and equipment in the kitchen. It
is important to consider several things and not only the price when buying them. 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.
The utensils, apparatus, and equipment are made of different materials, each having certain
advantages and disadvantages. The following lists are materials of kitchen utensils and
equipment commonly found in the kitchen.
3.1.1 Name, Function and correct use / handling practices of equipment and apparatus.
DIFFERENT MATERIALS
Aluminium Is the best for all-round 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
aluminium. Since it is a soft metal, the lighter
gauges will dent and scratch easily, making the
utensils unusable.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com
Stainless Is the most popular material used for apparatus
Steel and equipment but is more expensive. It is
easier to clean and shine and will not wear out
as soon as aluminium.
Glass Is good for baking but no practical on top or
surface cooking. Great care is needed to ensure
a 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 Glass and ceramic conduct the heat slowly and
heat-proof evenly. Many of these baking dishes are
glass decorated and can go from stove or oven to the
dining table.
Teflon Is a special coating applied to the inside of
some aluminium 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 Hard Rubber Are used for cutting and chopping boards,
tabletops, bowls, trays, garbage pails and
canisters. 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.

3.1.2 GENERAL CARE AND CLEANING
Basic Utensil Care
The best kitchen utensil care follows the basic steps of cleaning, rinsing, sanitizing, and any
necessary upkeep prior to storing away. Utensils made of silver or wood require additional upkeep
steps that you can DIY using basic household supplies.
How to Clean Utensils
Utensils should be washed in hot water with dish soap and rinsed with clean water. Different
chemical solutions are available for sanitizing utensils.
How to Care for Metal Utensils
Some metals, like stainless steel, are designed to be sturdy, resilient to rust, and easy to
sanitize. Others such as silver need more care.
How to Care for Silver Utensils
It’s not recommended to wash silver or silver-plated utensils in a dishwasher due to the risk of
tarnishing. Washing silver and stainless steel together can also discolour the silver utensils, or
worse, lead to a pitting corrosion reaction in the silver.
Page 16 of 131
Downloaded from hlayiso.com
How to Care for Wooden Utensils
The best wooden utensils for cooking and serving food will be solid and non-porous. Wood can
absorb food and food smells. Sealing the wood with a food grade oil will stops unwanted
absorption and prevent the wood from cracking and splintering.
How to Care for Plastic, Nylon, and Silicone Utensils
Utensils made from polymers such as plastic, nylon, and silicone all follow the wash, rinse, and
sanitize procedure.
How to Care for Utensils Made of Multiple Parts
The small crevice where the tool side of utensil meets its handle can be overlooked, resulting in
a reservoir for bacteria, rust, and deterioration. Spatulas, whisks, and knives are examples of
utensils that often connect a separately built tool to its separately built handle.
Use a sturdy toothpick or small bristle-brush (like a toothbrush) to clean the small gaps found in
these kinds of assemblies.
How to Care for Knives
Pay special attention to cleaning knives made from multiple parts. Next to keeping them clean,
keeping knives sharp is the most important aspect of knife care. DIY knife care can save you a
lot of money and the inconvenience of waiting for your knives to be returned.
CARING FOR APPLIANCES
Enamel areas
Wipe over while still warm with a damp, soapy cloth. Dry with a soft cloth.
Always wipe spills immediately so they do not dry or cook onto surfaces.
Use a liquid cleaner to remove stubborn marks and avoid scouring pads or powder,
which can scratch enamels.
Control panel
Wipe over, and occasionally remove, and wash knobs.
Wipe off any build up on the panel.
Burners (natural gas)
For day-to-day cleaning, wipe over the burners after each use. Aluminium should be
rubbed over with soapy steel wool pads.
Brass and stainless steel should be washed in hot, soapy water. Always rinse and dry
well.
Light burners to check correct replacement.

Pan supports or trivets. Wash in hot, soapy water. If they are very greasy soak in a
solution of one tablespoon of washing soda to 4.5 litres of very hot water.
Griller
Remove griller tray before cleaning.
Wash in hot, soapy water, using a fine, soapy steel-wool pad on heavily soiled areas.
Rinse and dry well.
Wipe out griller compartment with warm, soapy cloth.
Clean racks as for oven shelves.
Oven
It is easier to clean the oven while it is still warm, but not hot.
Remove shelves and other moveable parts and wash in a hot-water detergent solution.
Stubborn spillage may require the use of a commercial cleaner.
Wipe over oven shelves, occasionally rubbing with a soapy fine steel-wool pad.
Glass areas
Clean over with a hot, soapy cloth — remember most oven doors lift off for easy
cleaning.
Avoid soaking glass doors as it may damage the insulation.
STORAGE OF KITCHEN APPARATUS
1. Dry all baking tools and equipment by air-drying on a drying rack or wiping with a dry
dishcloth. Make sure all wooden spoons and accessories are dry before storing.
2. Store all tools and equipment in their designated places. Put frequently used items in
conveniently accessible locations. Gather and secure electrical cords to prevent
entanglement or snagging.
3. Proper storage and handling of cleaned and sanitized equipment and utensils is very
important to prevent recontamination prior to use.

- 3.2.2 Working in teams
- “Teamwork makes the dream work, but a vision becomes a nightmare when the leader has a
big dream and a bad team.” – John C. Maxwell

Here are some universal and essential components of a team. It is the job of the leader to build the
environment for a team to form.

TRUST – Without trust, a group will never become a team. Trust that coworkers have each
other’s backs, trust that everyone will pull his or her weight and trust that the leader will
support the decisions and actions of the team.
RESPECT – Teams gel when there is mutual respect.
EXCELLENT COMMUNICATION – Complete, honest, consistent, and timely
communication from the top down and the bottom up is the number one rule used by
successful teams.
TEACH AND TRAIN – Great teams and the individuals who are part of the team are always
striving to improve. Every cook and every chef can benefit from ongoing training and the
opportunity to learn from others.
WIN AND LOSE AS A TEAM. NO FINGER-POINTING – Watch the consistently great
teams, and you will notice that they rarely point fingers outward. If the team fails, it is
because the unit fell down in the process.
SHARE – Successful teams share knowledge, share success, share in each other’s pain
and joy, and share the blame and the opportunities that stand before them.
ENCOURAGE – Chefs need to encourage cooks and support staff to reach for that
dangling carrot and tell them, “Be better, I know you can be.” Pat them on the back and
then offer whatever opportunities might exist to raise the bar once again.
SET HIGH EXPECTATIONS AND DEMAND NOTHING LESS
- WORK ETHIC TRUMPS EXPERIENCE – Great teams know that there is no substitute for hard
work. This is the foundation of a team, an expectation of all involved and a unifying factor that
will help a team exceed expectations, every time.

- Here are a few tips for workplace communication that’s both successful and respectful:

Practice politeness, courtesy, and kindness. No matter who you’re speaking to, what
your mutual history is, what kind of day you’re having or whatever other factors you bring to
the table, good manners are a constant must. Be kind every day, be courteous regarding
others’ needs and opinions and be polite at all times — even if you’re not feeling your
kindness. A little respect goes a long way and will reflect on you positively.
Listen graciously. People have a tendency to do a lot of talking when it comes to
communicating across companies, projects, deals and ideas — but take the time to listen,
as well. Successful and respectful communication is a two-way street, so make sure when
you’re having a conversation, you take the time to attentively listen to and actively hear
others.
Avoid negativity. No matter how frustrated you are, it’s never acceptable to insult,
disparage or make fun of either people or their ideas. In the end, it will only lead to a mutual
loss of respect that could affect the workplace as a whole. Instead, choose a constructive
way of compromising or collaborating to solve problems or address issues.
Talk to people — not about them. If you take issue with a person or situation, the best
way to address the problem is head-on. Too often, we may resort to holding on to our
dissatisfaction, letting unease stew or alleviating frustration by complaining about someone
behind his or her back because we’re nervous about confrontation and creating tension —
but letting an issue fester is even worse. Instead, straighten the situation directly with the
person in a constructive and respectful manner.
Don’t overcriticize. When leading a team or reviewing your employees, it’s important to
give constructive feedback and mention what they could do differently to grow — but nit-
picking, belittling, patronizing or constantly criticizing will only discourage others and
damage your relationship. Instead, offer constant positive reinforcement along with
constructive comments to give your teammates the confidence and encouragement they
need.
Treat people equally. No matter the difference in background, position, qualifications or
other factors, treat everyone you interact with fairly and equally to maintain a positive
workplace.
Be emotionally empathetic. You can never know exactly what’s going on in someone
else’s life — so when you speak to them, don’t be judgmental, impersonal or closed-off.
Keep yourself emotionally open, pick up on others’ cues and practice empathy. It will take
you far in any relationship.
Value others’ opinions. Different ideas, perspectives and backgrounds are what make a
workplace multifaceted and push progress, so always make sure to value others’ opinions,
encourage expression, consider their viewpoints and collaborate.

3.2 MISE EN PLACE IN THE KITCHEN
[Source: www.youtube.com ]
Mise-en-place is French for “to put in place” It refers to the preparation done before cooking or
service, either in the kitchen or in the restaurant.
Food preparation mise-en-place includes:
Getting all equipment and utensils ready that are required to make the dish or meal.
Locating and then measuring all the ingredients.
Preparing the ingredients, for example grating, chopping, boiling, cutting, marinating, or
making stocks.
Switching on all equipment and selecting the correct temperatures.
Page 42 of 131
Downloaded from hlayiso.com
Advantages of mise-en-place
Mise-en-place helps with effective kitchen organisation and workflow by limiting movements of
team workers and saving time.
This process also:
Ensures that the work is done correctly, and that equipment and ingredients are available.
Prevents wastage as preparation is done for the correct number of guests.
Ensures successful food production.
Preparing the area and the equipment.
[Source: www.motherwouldknow.com & www.twohealthykitchens.com ]
Before you collect or mix ingredients for any dish, you need to prepare the area and
equipment as follows:
Make sure that surfaces are clean (and sprayed with an antibacterial spray)
Collect and arrange the equipment for the particular dishes that you need to prepare. Also
collect any additional equipment that may not be close at hand specialised equipment that is
not stored at the unit.
Sharpen the knives with the sharpening steel.
Page 43 of 131
Downloaded from hlayiso.com
Turn the oven indicator to the required temperature.
Prepare baking sheets by greasing, or greasing and flouring, or greasing and lining with
paper.
Collect the ingredients
Once the equipment has been collected and the area prepared, it is necessary to collect the
ingredients required for the recipe that you are going to prepare.
The recipe will give you the list of the ingredients, the
quantity required, and the preparation required of
each ingredient, the quantity required and the
preparation required of each ingredient you need to
collect before starting to cook the dish.
[Source: twohealthykitchens.com]
Prepare the ingredients
Preparing ingredients involves preparing all the ingredients necessary to make a particular dish in
advance.
You need to:
Measure or weigh the required ingredients accurately.
Prepare the ingredients by, for example, washing, chopping, cutting, marinating and/or
making stocks.
Place the prepared ingredients in individual bowls or containers.
Depending on the recipe, mise-en-place involves chopping, slicing, shredding and grating
ingredients.
As you prepare the ingredients, you need to carry out the various tasks in a logical sequence, e.g.,
you would first wash the vegetables, then peel them and finally chop them.
You should also try to finish one task at a time before you start the next step. Avoid doing too many
tasks at the same time.

Grating foods
Flavouring foods with herbs and spices by adding flavouring to stocks and soups, making
a marinade or a rub to add extra flavour to meat and fish.
Infusing cooking liquids with herbs or spices.
Blanching or parboiling food.
Recipe techniques:
DESCRIPTION OF TECHNIQUE ILLUSTRATION
1. Preparation of pans:
Pans are sprayed with greasy food spray or
rubbed with butter/margarine or lined with
baking paper before baking.
2. Sifting:
Dry ingredients like flour, baking powder
and salt are sifted together to incorporate
air.
3. Cutting in:
Butter or margarine is cut into a flour
mixture with a pastry cutter until the
mixture looks like coarse mealie meal.
Page 45 of 131
Downloaded from hlayiso.com
Rubbing in:
Can also be used instead of cutting in –
butter or margarine is rubbed into flour
with the finger points until it looks like
coarse mealie meal.
4. Mix:
Use a wooden spoon and stir all around in
the bowl until all ingredients are evenly
spread.
5. Beat:
Use a beater to beat egg whites until foamy. In this way
air is incorporated.
DESCRIPTION OF TECHNIQUE ILLUSTRATION
6. Stir:
Hold a wooden spoon upright and stir with
circular movements on the base of the
mixing bowl to evenly mix ingredients.
7. Press out:
Use cookie cutters to press out shapes for
biscuits or scones from dough.
8. Scraping out:
Use a scraper to scrape batter out of a
mixing bowl (to wipe out the last bit from
the mixing bowl)
9. Cooling of baked products:
Page 46 of 131
Downloaded from hlayiso.com
Hot, baked products are placed on a
cooling rack after removing them from the
oven to allow them to cool off.
Cakes may only be removed from the pans
once they are properly cooled off.
10. Draining of fried food:
To remove extra oil by using absorbent
kitchen towel.
11. Grate:
Use a grater and rub something such as
cheese, up and down against rough blades
on the outside of a grater, to break it up in
small, even pieces.

MEASURING INGREDIENTS CORRECTLY
Accurate techniques in measuring are as important as the tools for measuring.
Therefore, always observe the following procedures:
Rice and flour. Fill the cup to overflowing, level-off with a spatula or with a
straightedge knife

Refined sugar. Sift sugar once to take out lumps, if any. Spoon into cup and level off
with a spatula. Do not pack or tap the sugar down.
Brown sugar. Pack into cup just enough to hold its shape when turned out off cup.
Level off with a spatula before emptying.
[Source: www.recipetips.com]
Level a measuring spoon with straight edge of a knife to measure small amounts of
salt, pepper, leavening agents, or solid fats.
Liquid 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.
[Source: www.123rf.com]
Page 50 of 131

Ingredients which measure by volume and by weight demand standardized measuring
tools and equipment.
Do not shake the dry measuring cup to level off dry ingredients.
It is easier to weigh fat, butter, margarine if bought in pre-measured sticks. If fat does
not come in pre-measured sticks, use a scale to weigh the needed amount.
Spring scales should be adjusted so that pointer is at zero (0). Place pan, bowl, or
piece of waxed paper on scale to hold ingredient to be measured.
When using balance scales, place the pan on the left-hand side of the balance and the
pan weight on the right-hand side. Add the required weights to the right-hand side and
adjust the beam on the bar so that the total is the weight needed.

Unit 3.3: ELEMENTS OF HEATING / ENERGY
- Elements of heat or energy used for cooking purposes
Electricity was introduced in the country early in the twentieth century but was mainly allocated to
cities and industrial areas. As the century progressed, electricity reached more populated areas, but
rural and informal settlements were still mostly not connected.
Heating
Coal and charcoal were the fuels mainly used for heating in the absence of firewood. Wood was
cheaper than coal, but it was harder to obtain.
Another source of energy was gas, but this was also expensive, and needed special equipment such
as gas bottles and factory-made elements to heat the houses and shacks.
Paraffin was another popular source of energy because it was easy to obtain and the heaters that
burnt paraffin could be bought quite cheaply. But paraffin has safety concerns.
A heating element converts electricity to
heat through resistance encountered in the
material the element is made of. When gas
is used, the burning gas heats the element,
which retains and radiates heat.
[Source:www.freshoffthegrid.com
Paraffin was the fuel mostly used for cooking in informal settlements: over 90% of the people used
paraffin cookers. Wood-burning and coal-burning stoves were used by almost all of the other
households, with gas only occasionally being used for cooking.
Even though some areas were supplied with electricity, less than half of these people used it to cook.
Stoves and electrical appliances were too expensive for most people living in informal settlements.

SUSTAINABLE USE OF ENERGY
1. Switch of all heat sources immediately after use.
2. Electric stove or gas stove – when using a small cooking utensil – use the small
stove plate
3. Open the refrigerator or oven door only when necessary. Opening the refrigerator
door lets the cold air out, forcing the refrigerator's motor to work harder and use
more energy.
4. Switch off ovens and stove plates a few minutes before food is fully cooked. Food
will continue cooking in the heat that remains.
5. Keep anything that can catch on fire – oven mitts, wooden utensils, towels, away
from the stove top or direct flames.

3.6.1 BOILING
[Source: www.vecteezy.com]
Liquid, such as water / milk / stock or wine, is added to the food prior to heating and then
brought to boiling point (100ºC) and maintained at that point. Oil is never used in boiling. This
technique is often used for less tender cuts of meat and usually the food is cooked for longer
periods of time, at lower temperatures.
Page | 90
Downloaded from hlayiso.com
Boiling is the umbrella term for cooking food, just covered in liquid by one of two
techniques:
From a fast, agitated bubbling – a rolling or rapid boil.
To a gentle simmer – slow boil, where only a few bubbles appear on the surface of the
liquid in the saucepan.
Rules for boiling:
1. Food should be just covered with liquid.
2. When a lid is used, the lid should be tight fitting to keep the heat inside.
3. Choose the correct size saucepan to save electricity.
4. Water should be kept at boiling point.
a. A rapid boil for pasta
b. A slow boil (simmer) for foods that may break
up easily
(potatoes)
5. Top up with boiling water if necessary. [Source: gettyimages]
Reasons for cooking food
To make it easier to eat (texture softens).
To make it more appetizing (more colour and flavour).
To make it easier to digest.
To destroy harmful bacteria and make the food safe to eat.
Advantages:
1. An easy cooking method.
2. Needs little attention while cooking.
3. Food is tender and digestible.
4. A quick moist heat method.
5. Liquids may be used for soups and sauces.

Disadvantages:
1. Food can break up while boiling rapidly.
2. Vitamins and minerals dissolve in the water and can be lost.
3. The colour and flavour may be spoiled by over boiling.
Techniques associated with boiling:
Al dente: An Italian word to describe when pasta
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IrmEB8gRZA and vegetables are cooked: tender but
firm to the bite or touch.
Blanching Is when some foods, especially
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svHjQwJcJaE vegetables and fruit, are immersed in
boiling water without being fully cooked,
and then immediately “refreshed”.
Refreshing Blanched vegetables are refreshed by
(See above video) rinsing them briefly under cold water.
Refreshing prevents any further cooking
by the heat retained in the vegetables,
and thus sets the bright colours.
Blanching has various uses:
1. To remove strong flavours, e.g., from liver or kidneys before frying.
2. To facilitate the removal of skin, e.g., from tomatoes or peaches.
3. To destroy enzymes in vegetables destined for the freezer.
4. To prevent discolouration of vegetables.
5. Simply to semi-cook or tenderize food.

Unit 3.6: COOKING METHODS- DRY HEAT METHODS
GRILLING:
Grilling is a form of cooking that involves dry heat applied to the surface of food, commonly
from above, below or from the side. Grilling usually involves a significant amount of direct,
radiant heat, and tends to be used for cooking meat and vegetables quickly. Food to be grilled
is cooked on a grill (an open wire grid with a heat source above or below), using a cast
iron/frying pan, or a grill pan (similar to a frying pan, but with raised ridges to mimic the wires of
an open grill).
Source: pinterest.com
General rules
Pre-heat the oven before the food is added.
Do not leave food unattended.
Ensure to make use of oven gloves when removing the pans from the oven.
Advantages of Grilling
Quick method
Good flavour & appearance
Disadvantages of Grilling
Constant attention
Only suitable for good quality food.

FRYING
General rules for frying
Use clean oil or fat of good quality for good safe results.
Pre-heat the oil before the food is added. When deep-frying, a frying basket should be used.
Test the temperature of the oil with a small cube of bread.
Top up with warm oil because the oil has to be kept hot at all times.
Do not fry too much cold, raw food at a time as the temperature will drop and the food will
be oily and soggy.
Turn food so that it cooks on both sides
Drain food on crumpled kitchen paper.
Serve food immediately.

Types of frying
There are three methods of frying
1. 1. Dry frying
The fat present in fatty foods is used to fry them.
No extra fat or oil is needed, for example sausages, bacon or chops with enough visible fat.
[Source:www.commons.wikimedia.com]
2. Shallow frying
A shallow pan with a thick base is used. A small amount of pre-heated fat or oil (3mm – 5mm)
is used to cover the bottom of the pan.
Page | 106
Downloaded from hlayiso.com
3. Deep frying
The food is lowered into a deep pan, half filled with pre-heated oil.
A frying basket is used to lower the food into the oil. The food is completely surrounded by hot
oil and cooks very quickly.
[Source:www.nytimes.com]
Advantages of Frying
Quick
Attractive taste & appearance
Disadvantages of Frying
Constant attention
Spatters grease
Not suitable for tough meats or large cuts
Not suitable when cooking for large number
Greasy
Indigestible
Safety tips when deep frying
Never leave a deep pan with fat unattended. Hot fat can catch fire.
Check that the fryer is filled to the correct level (depending on the type of frying) before
turning on.
Keep the heat medium to low. Allow the fat to heat slowly.
Dry food thoroughly before frying, otherwise it will splutter and cause burns.
Page | 107
Downloaded from hlayiso.com
Lower foods slowly into the fat with a frying basket, a long-handled spoon or a food tong to
prevent the oil from splashing and cause burns.
Never overload fryers with food – the oil will cool down.
Prepare a cooling rack or tray with a layer of paper towels to remove excess oil. The
absorbent layer will help soak up even more oil.
Wear protective clothes with long sleeves when handling fryers.
Use clean, dry, thick dish cloths when handling pans and hot oil to prevent scalding or
serious burns.
Allow oil to cool before draining and filtering.
Save and re-use your fry oil. Once you're done frying, strain the used oil through a coffee
filter into a spacious, heat-resistant container and store it at room temperature. If the oil
cannot be stored, dispose of it in a separate container.

Accurate measuring is just as important as the tools for measuring.
Dry ingredients are usually levelled-off with a straight edge knife.
Liquid ingredient measures must be done on a flat, level surface.
Unit 3.5
Electricity has now reached most South Africans however some rural areas are still
not electrified.
Coad and charcoal were once the main heating sources.
Heat transfer is the exchange of energy between two objects.
There are three types of heat transfer namely, Conduction, Convection and
Radiation.
Remember to adhere to safety precautions when using all forms of heat transfer.
Unit 3.6
Liquids are brought to boiling point (100°C) and food is cooked rapidly.
Always maintain the boiling temperature of the liquid.
Grilling & Frying is classified as a dry heat cooking method.
It refers to food cooked in hot fat/oil or grilled.
There are three methods of frying namely, dry/ shallow and deep frying.
Food are grilled at high temperatures and exposed to radiant heat.
