Bellringer:

Recall presentations yesterday…

What is a food-born illness?

How do you put out a grease fire?

Why is a sharp knife safer than a dull knife?

Bellringer cont.

A food borne illness is a disease transmitted by food, the source of which is bacteria, or toxins produced by bacteria.

You can use baking soda to put out a grease fire.

With knives, its all about control. Think about cutting an apple. A dull knife is more likely to slip vs a sharp knife can cut directly into the apple with no problem.

Agenda:

Students will be able to show their knowledge of kitchen safety though safety skits

Students will be able to learn more about kitchen safety through kitchen safety notes

** SAFETY TEST IS TOMORROW WED 9/26

Procedures of Kitchen Labs

There are 3 phases to a school foods lab.

They are:

• Planning : Who’s doing what, ingredients?

• Cooking

• Evaluation: How did the process go?

Before & After Your Lab

Before each plan you will fill out a planning packet and plan the day’s lab.

At the end of each lab you will be responsible for filling out an evaluation form.

There are 4 things you do before you start each lab. They are:

*Put on an apron *Sanitize counters

*Tie hair back * Wash hands

Safety & Sanitation

The danger zone where bacteria can grow quickly is between 40 degrees F and 140 degrees F.

Food Borne Illness is when you get sick by eating contaminated foods caused by bacteria. Some people also call food born illness food poisoning.

To prevent burns in the kitchen use hot pads instead of towels.

If a fire occurs the best procedure for putting out the fire is:

• Electrical Fire: Fire Extinguisher

• Grease Fire: Baking Soda + lid

• Clothing Fire: Stop Drop and Roll

When handling household chemicals store them away from food.

Always read the labels when dealing with household chemicals.

Things to prevent cuts and bruises in the kitchens:

Clean up spills immediately

Keep cupboard doors closed

Wash knives separately

Keep electrical appliances away from water

Remove any household chemicals when working in the lab

NO HORSEPLAY OR FOOD FIGHTS
