Poached Chicken Rolls by Sylvie

For this evaluation, I will be discussing the process I went through to make the poached chicken rolls today. I will be talking about the things I think my group did well and some of the things we could improve on.

Today, I found that I am actually pretty good at kneading. Our dough was not too flaky/crumbly and not too sticky. We used egg wash on the rolls before we put them in the oven. When they came out they were crispy and golden on the top which made them look very appetising. They also came out perfectly round.

I think that if I did this again I would probably shape the rolls to be a little bit bigger because when we shaped ours today we made them a little small. The rolls came out perfect they just didn't have much room to put in the filling.

I don't have much I wasn't a fan of during this practical, although the filling could have had a little more flavour. I would put a little more spices in.

Burgers & Carrot Fries by Fletcher

Today we made Beef Burgers and Carrot Fries. It's an actual meal this time and I like it.

This was my first full meal that I've made! (Although technically we made butter chicken earlier this term and that was kind of a meal). The meat was actually pretty good although it did fall apart. The carrot fries felt like actual fries!

Next time, we probably could have less in the burger as it was fell apart pretty easily. Some of the carrot fries were a bit overcooked, but it didn't take anything away from the meal.

The meat did fall apart, but it didn't take anything away from the meal itself. The burger also fell apart due to it containing too much stuff. The meat also didn't have too much flavour. Ketchup sort of helped.

The Burgers & Carrot Fries were good. I would make them again, although next time I wouldn't put so much food in. I also would figure out why the meat fell apart. The meat also could use a little salt.
