LESSON 1 What is Food Technology? Food Technology allows you to find out about your needs and the environment FoodTechnology will help you think and learn about: culture safety the environment hygiene design healthy eating • You will learn new skills through: • Practical work • Investigation using Worksheets, Recipies and DVDs • Project work • Working individually and in groups

LESSON 1 Welcome to Food Technology and Design Kirkwall Grammar School • We hope that you will enjoy the work that you do in • Food Technology and Design • What you learn here will be of use to you for the rest of your life • During S1 you will be working in a kitchen • The Food Technology teachers are • Mr Griffiths • Mrs Maclean • We ask you to remember the following rules: • Leave coats and bags in areas provided • Pay your money and take a suitable container from home • Ask for help if you are unsure

Aim of the lesson: 1) To be aware of potential dangers in the kitchens 2) To understand the reasons for and to use basic safety rules in the kitchen A kitchen must be safe There are many ways in which we can make sure that our kitchen is a safe place to work Here are some safety rules to remember Write a reason for each rule in the space provided LESSON 1 KITCHEN SAFETY • Always wipe up spills immediately • _____________________________________________________ • _______________________________________________________ • Do not run in the kitchens • ______________________________________________________ • _______________________________________________________ • Never touch electrical equipment with wet hands • _______________________________________________________ • _______________________________________________________ • Always use oven gloves when putting things IN and taking things OUT of the oven • _______________________________________________________ • _______________________________________________________ • Place bags, coats in space provided • _______________________________________________________ • _______________________________________________________

LESSON 1 Welcome to Food Technology This may be a completely new experience for you but it is a very important subject that teaches very necessary life skills In Food technology you will: • Learn about safety and hygiene in the kitchen • Become familiar with cookers and be able to use them safely and with confidence • Weigh and measure ingredients • Read and follow a recipe • Learn about Healthy Eating • Gain practice in simple food preparation skills • Many of the lessons in Food Technology are practical lessons • In order that you can work in a safe environment you will be expected to: • Remove outdoor clothing • Remove baggy sleeved jumpers • Tie long hair back • Wear sensible shoes with laces tied properly • Wear an apron • Remove jewellery, watches and nail varnish

Now think of some more safety rules that should be followed in a kitchen and give reasons why.

LESSON 2 KITCHEN HYGIENE Everything in the kitchen must be cleaned properly so that no germs are left to cause food poisoning Washing Bucket clean towel glasses plates/bowls clean Cutlery pots hot washing up liquid damp Dry wipe neatly teacher equipment

LESSON 4 GERMOMETER Draw a germometer in the space below and label what happens to bacteria at different temperatures.

Germs are all around us. Germs are also known as bacteria. Some bacteria are good for us but some make us ill. To avoid becoming ill we must keep ourselves and our kitchen clean. Bacteria need four things to grow: 1. 2. 3. 4. We can help prevent food from contamination by: Keeping food covered Handling food as little as possible. Raw and cooked food should be kept separate. Store perishable foods in a fridge or freezer until needed. Now complete the following: How can you prevent bacteria growing on food? What does perishable mean? Give 5 examples of perishable foods. What happens to bacteria when food is stored in the fridge? What happens to bacteria when you boil water? What happens to bacteria when stored in the danger zone? LESSON 4 FOOD HYGIENE

Getting the correct amount of food is very important. If your weighing and measuring is wrong your recipe is very unlikely to turn out properly. There are different pieces of equipment used to weigh and measure in the kitchen. These are measuring scales, measuring spoons and measuring jugs. The equipment you use is depending on whether you are weighing small or large amounts and if the food is solid or liquid LESSON 6 WEIGHING AND MEASURING Scales are used to measure large amounts of dry food in grams (g). Measuring jugs are used to measure large quantities of liquids in millilitres (ml). More than 100ml Measuring spoons are used to measure small amounts of liquid or dry foods in millilitres (ml) less than 100ml

LESSON 4 COOKING pasta bacon Stir fry Organise the foods under the part of the cooker where it should be cooked. Remember some foods may go under 2 headings. steak Roast chicken Boiled egg Beans on toast cake Spaghetti bolognaise Tomato soup Apple pie Baked potatoes

LESSON 6 MEASURING Look at the list of food below. They can be measured using scales, measuring jug or measuring spoons. Place each food under the correct piece of weighing/measuring equipment. 125g flour 3x15ml yogurt 100g nuts 50ml vinegar 100g caster sugar 50ml lemon juice 250ml stock 5 ml mixed spice 500ml cream 100ml water 125ml milk 450g raisins 10ml cocoa powder 10ml syrup 50g cabbage 2.5ml salt 500g carrots 250ml juice

Words make up the way we communicate or talk to each other. In most subjects that you study there are special ways of using words. A recipe is one way in which we communicate food preparation in Food Technology. A recipe is a set of directions for mixing and preparing foods. Recipes contain three parts Name Ingredients Method LESSON 1 EXPLORING A RECIPE NAME The name of the dish Tomato Casserole INGREDIENTS Types and amounts of foods needed 6 firm tomatoes 250g breadcrumbs 60g margarine 60g cheese Seasoning 5ml parsley METHOD The instructions set out in order • Peel and slice tomatoes • Arrange layers of sliced tomatoes, breadcrumbs, margarine and seasoning in a greased casserole dish. • Finish with a later of breadcrumbs and dot with margarine. • Bake in the oven for 20 mins. (180’C) • Sprinkle grated cheese on top and bake for a further 10 minutes. • Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.

Your teacher will have told you how to use a cooker, and what parts are used for cooking certain foods. Using the word bank label the parts of cooker below. LESSON 4 THE COOKER Oven grill/top oven controls hob front left ring

What is a recipe? What do these words mean? ingredients method Why are the instructions usually numbered? What is an abbreviation? Write the abbreviations for the following litre millilitre gram kilogram LESSON 1 EXPLORING A RECIPEAnswer the following questions
