Important Information before you begin cooking!

Hands-on Cooking Lab Requirements

Each Cooking Lab requires you to follow a rubric and take required pictures in order to receive maximum points for each Cooking Lab. To learn how to upload your pictures from your phone to your Google Drive click here.
To see what the Cooking Lab Rubric looks like click here. Include all green text points in your Google Slides presentation.
Be sure to carefully read the requirements and review the recipes for each lab before you begin cooking. Remember that the teachers are not watching what you do, so you have to take very clear pictures of you demonstrating the required skills, as outlined by the Cooking Lab Rubric.

You must earn 50% or greater on the quiz to be able to access the Cooking Lab dropboxes found in Brightspace (D2L).

Tie hair back first, then wash hands and put on a clean apron.
Before beginning any recipe, it is important to read the recipe thoroughly. This will allow you to see if you have the proper ingredients, as well as the time and equipment needed for the recipe.
Preheat oven and assemble all necessary ingredients before you start cooking. Do not preheat the elements on the stove top, they get hot immediately.
Measure all ingredients and put into bowls using the proper procedures and equipment.
Combine the ingredients in the order and manner given in the recipe instructions.
When baking using the oven:
1. Prepare pans by lining, greasing or spraying according to the recipe.
2. Fill pans with the batter or mixture.
3. Put on oven mitts and make sure oven door is all the way down, if required.
4. Place the food in proper location within the oven.
5. Set the timer for the least time on the recipe, if there is a range of time given.
6. When timer rings, check the product by putting on oven mitts, pulling out rack slightly and checking to see if it is baked all the way through with a toothpick.
7. If toothpick is clean and does not have uncooked dough on it, remove food from the oven and place pan on a cooling rack. For muffins, tip the muffin cups on their sides so bottoms do not get soggy.
8. Remove from pan and serve. Garnish as if in a restaurant!

Prepare the recipes using all procedures you have learned concerning safety, sanitation, measurement, and organization.
Take pictures of you (your face must be in the pictures) completing all the processes.
Put the pictures into one presentation Google Slides or other media (must pre-approved by the Teacher).
Add headings to each section of the presentation.
Make sure to take all the pictures as outlined in the rubric. To see the Cooking Lab Rubric and picture requirements click here.

There are three labs in this course Food Presentation and one assignment:

Each lab assignment will give you choices of recipes for that lab. Choose one recipe for each lab from the choices given.

You may choose a recipe of your own for the labs, but it is strongly suggested you have your chosen recipe approved by the teacher first.

If choosing your own recipe, you must ensure that it meets the outcomes of that cooking lab.

In the presentation, include the full recipe (ingredients and instructions) and cite

the source of the recipe used.
