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 lab.
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 Cooking 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.
Every Cooking Lab provides you with a choice of recipes or you may choose your own recipe.
If choosing your own recipe, you must ensure that it meets the requirements of that lab. For example, a muffin lab must have a recipe choice of a muffin (not a cupcake). It is strongly recommended to contact the teacher to request approval for any alternate recipe before preparation.
In your presentation, be prepared to include the full recipe (ingredients and instructions) and cite the source of the recipe you used.
BE ORGANIZED! Follow these steps to successful food products!
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, and 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:
Prepare pans by lining, greasing or spraying according to the recipe.
Fill pans with the batter or mixture.
Put on oven mitts and make sure oven door is all the way down, if required.
Place the food in proper location within the oven.
Set the timer for the least time on the recipe, if there is a range of time given.
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.
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.
Remove from pan and serve. Garnish as if in a restaurant!
Clean and sanitize all equipment and the workspace.
