MY READINGS
Commercial Cooking
The term foodservice applies to any operation or business that prepares food for consumption by the public.
These businesses are classified into three main categories:

• Quick Service - Commonly referred to as fast food restaurants. These include burger, chicken, pizza,
sandwich, and short order restaurants where there is generally no table service. The kitchen and dining
rooms are designed for quick service and convenience

• Full Service - Commonly referred to as dinner house or white tablecloth restaurants. These include
table service, sit-down cafeteria, club, and fine dining operations where there is more emphasis on
ambiance or the dining experience

• Noncommercial - These are foodservice operations that are generally imbedded in other businesses.
They are generally found in schools, hospitals, universities, office parks, office buildings, prisons, and
industries

Many commercial restaurants come and go with changing public desires. Restaurants generally concern
themselves with only those things that can be seen by the public. They often consider used equipment and are
not interested in high technology, energy-saving, or high first cost approaches to food production.
Production, productivity, and profitability are the key to any foodservice operations success. All of these
operations have one thing in common; they are manufacturers of food and the tools of production. They use
various pieces of cooking equipment. It should be pointed out that the purchase of advanced technologies is
seen as a capital expenditure. Actually, advanced electrotechnologies are a revenue investment since they
enhance the means of production.

Career Opportunities for Commercial Cooking

o Kitchen Helper – cleans and sanitizes kitchen equipment; assists in basic food preparation; receives and
stores products in kitchens.
o Commis – junior chef
o Line Cook – may also be called a “station chef”, is the chef designated to take charge of a certain area of
food production, such as meat or salad preparation, and is responsible for much of the cooking in a
commercial kitchen.
o Cook – prepare, season, and cook a wide range of foods. This may include soups, salads, entrees, and
desserts.
o Foodservice Counter Attendant – prepares, heats and finishes simple food items; usually employed in
more casual diners or in fast food chains
o Pastry chef – in charge of and trained in the production of desserts, pastries, and breads.

Page | 2
o Sous Chef – the culinary chef located just below the executive or head chef in a kitchen’s chain of
command.
o Executive Chef – in charge of menu creation, plating design and layout, recipe production, and
management of kitchen staff.
o Kitchen Supervisor – directly supervise and coordinate activities of workers who prepare and serve food.
o Kitchen Manager – responsible for the overall operations for the back of house and kitchen area of a
restaurant.
o Personal chef – prepare meals for a specific client or customer, often in the customer’s private kitchen, in
accordance to the client’s dietary needs or preferences.
o Food Operations Officer – ensure that all reporting and control procedures in the operations, customer
service, quality of production, hygiene and cleanliness standards, maintenance and general
administration are completed and in place according to company’s policy and chain operation manual.
o Chief Steward – supervises and coordinates activities of pantry, storeroom, and non-cooking kitchen
workers as well as purchases, kitchen supplies, and equipment.

SWOT ANALYSIS
Before an entrepreneur fully engages in a certain business, he/she initially needs to determine whether the
venue is feasible and portable. One process of confirming the compositeness of the firm is the utilization of
SWOT analysis. It is a strategic planning method used to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities
and threats involved in an enterprise.
Based on a realistic point of view, it is more advisable to know the opportunities and threats for the
establishment of certain business. Bear in mind that a need or a want determines what product or service
being demands.
A SWOT analysis Chart would look like the one below:

Strengths Weakness
Characteristics of the business that give advantage Characteristics that post advantage on the part of
and edge over the others in the same industry. the firm as compared to others.
Opportunities Threats
These are external chances that can yield greater These are external factors that can subject the
profits and sales for the business. business to conflicts and possible trouble.

E. Introduction

Commercial kitchen equipment need to produce food for a large number of consumers. It
needs to be robust, durable, and easy to operate. The equipment should consume less electricity,
improve the productivity of food production operations, and must be eco-friendly. Last but not the
least, it should serve its purpose effectively.
Most kitchen equipment are operated electronically. There is a wide range of cooking, cutting,
baking, and cleaning equipment available for the kitchen staff.

Activity 1
Directions: in your activity observe your kitchen at home, list down the utensil and equipment that
available in your house and write the function of each tools.

Utensils/Tools/Equipment/ Function

D. MY READINGS
Materials of kitchen utensils and equipment commonly found in the kitchen.

Any cook should be familiar with the correct utensils, devices and equipment in the kitchen. It is important to
consider several things and not only the price when buying them. The job of cooking requires specific tools,
Let

utensils, and equipment for proper and efficient preparation of food. Each piece has been designed to
accomplish a specific job in the kitchen.

The tools, utensils and equipment are made of different materials, each having certain advantages and
disadvantages. The following lists are materials of kitchen utensils and equipment commonly found in the
kitchen.

Aluminum is the best for all-around use. It is the most popular,


lightweight, attractive and less expensive. It requires care to
keep it shiny and clean. Much more, it gives even heat
distribution no matter what heat temperature you have.
It is available in sheet or cast aluminum. Since it is a soft
metal, the lighter gauges will dent and scratch easily,
making the utensil unusable. Aluminum turns dark when
used with alkalis, such as potatoes, beets, carrots and other
vegetables. Acid vegetables like tomatoes will brighten it.

Stainless Steel is the most popular material used for tools


and equipment, but is more expensive. It is easier to clean
and shine and will not wear out as soon as aluminum.
Choose those with copper, aluminum or laminated steel
bottoms to spread heat and keep the pot from getting
heat dark spots. Stainless steel utensils maybe bought in
many gauges, from light to heavy.

Glass is good for baking but not practical on top or


surface cooking. Great care is needed to make
sure for long shelf life.
Page | 6
Cast Iron is sturdy but must be kept seasoned to avoid
rust. Salad oil with no salt or shortening can be rub inside
and out and dry. Wash with soap (not detergent) before
using.

Ceramic and heat-proof glass is used especially for


baking dishes, casseroles, and measuring cups.
Glass and ceramic conduct the heat slowly and
evenly. Many of these baking dishes are decorated
and can go from stove or oven to the dining table.

Teflon is a special coating applied to the inside of


some aluminum or steel pots and pans. It helps
food from not sticking to the pan. It is easier to
wash and clean, however, take care not to scratch
the Teflon coating with sharp instrument such as
knife or fork. Use wooden or plastic spatula to turn
or mix food inside.

Plastic and Hard Rubber are used for cutting and chopping
boards, table tops, bowls, trays, garbage pails and canisters.
They are much less dulling to knives than metal and more
sanitary than wood. Plastics are greatly durable and cheap
but may not last long.

Cooking Utensils List That Every Kitchen Needs

1. A baster is handy for returning some of the meat or poultry


juices from the pan, back to the food. Basting brushes can
be used for the same purpose, but they are also convenient
for buttering the tops of breads and baked goods after
they come out of the oven.

2. Cans, bottles, cartoons opener use to open a food tin,


preferably with a smooth operation, and comfortable grip
and turning knob.

3. Colanders also called a vegetable strainer are


essential for various tasks from cleaning
vegetables to straining pasta or tin contents.
Page | 7
4. Cutting Boards a wooden or plastic board where meats and
vegetables can be cut.

5. Dredgers – used to shake flour, salt, and


pepper on meat, poultry, and fish.

6. Double boiler – used when temperatures must


be kept below boiling, such as for egg sauces,
puddings, and to keep foods warm without
overcooking.

7. Emery boards/sharpening steel – used to sharpen long knives

8. Flipper use for turning hamburgers and


other food items.

9. Funnels – used to fill jars, made of various sizes of stainless


steel, aluminum, or of plastic

10.Garlic Press is a kitchen tool which is specifically


designed for the purpose of pulping garlic for
cooking

11. Graters used to grate, shred, slice and separate foods


such as carrots, cabbage and cheese.

12. Handy Poultry & Roasting Tools make it easier


to lift a hot roasted turkey from the roaster to the
serving platter, without it falling apart

Page | 8
13. Kitchen Knives often referred to as cook's or chef's
tools, knives are a must for all types of kitchen tasks,
from peeling an onion and slicing carrots, to carving
a roast or turkey

14. Kitchen Shears They are practical for opening


food packages, cutting tape or string to package
foods or simply to remove labels or tags from
items. Other cutting tools such as box cutters are
just as handy, especially for opening packages.

15. Measuring Tools are among the most important items found
in any kitchen, since consistently good cooking depends upon
accurate measurements. Measuring tools should be standardized.
Measuring cups and spoons are also in the home kitchen

These are delicate and precision instruments that must be handled carefully and are more dependable in
terms of accuracy.

Commonly used measuring tools in the home or in commercial kitchens include the following:
a. Measuring Cup for Dry Ingredients – is used to measure solids
and dry ingredients, such as flour, fat and sugar. It is commonly
made of aluminum or stainless material. Sizes range from
1, ½, ¾ and ¼ (nested cups) to one gallon. There are cups made
of plastic and come in different colors, but could only be used
for cold ingredients. They could warp, causing inaccurate measure

b. Measuring Cup for Liquid Ingredients - commonly made up


of heat-proof glass and transparent so that liquid can be
seen. Quantity of measure of liquid ingredient is different
in a dry measuring cup

c. Portion scales - used to weigh serving portions from one


ounce to one pound

d. Scoops or dippers – used to measure serving of soft foods,


such as fillings, ice cream, and mashed potato.

e. Spoons come in variety of sizes, shapes, materials


and colors. These are used to measure smaller
quantities of ingredients called for in the recipe
like: 1 tablespoon of butter or ¼ teaspoon of salt.

f. Household Scales are used to weigh large quantity


of ingredients in kilos, commonly in rice, flour,
sugar, legumes or vegetables and meat up to 25 pounds.

Page | 9
g. Potato Masher used for mashing cooked potatoes,
turnips, carrots or other soft cooked vegetables.

h. Rotary eggbeater – used for beating small amount


of eggs or batter. The beaters should be made up
of stainless steel, and gear driven for ease in rotating.

i. Serving Tongs enables you to more easily grab and


transfer larger food items, poultry or meat portions
to a serving platter, to a hot skillet or deep fryer,
or to a plate. It gives you a better grip and the longer
the tongs, the better especially when used with a deep
fryer, a large stock pot or at the barbecue.

j. Pasta Spoon or Server is used to transfer a little or


much cooked pasta to a waiting plate, without mess.
Pasta spoons are best used with spaghetti-style or
other long pasta noodles: you can use a large slotted
serving spoon for short pastas.

k. Scraper- a rubber or silicone tools to blend or scrape


the food from the bowl; metal, silicone or plastic egg
turners or flippers

l. Seafood Serving Tools make the task of cleaning


seafood and removing the shell much easier.
For cooking seafood, utensils will vary depending
on what you are cooking.

m. Serving spoon is a utensil consisting of a small,


shallow bowl on a handle, used in preparing,
serving, or eating food.

n. Soup Ladle is used for serving soup or stews,


but can also be used for gravy, dessert sauces
or other foods. A soup ladle also works well to
remove or skim off fat from soups and stews.

There are many kinds of knives, each with a specialized use

• Butcher knife – used to section raw meat, poultry, and fish.


It can be used as a cleaver to separate small joints or to cut
bones. Butcher knives are made with heavy blade with a
saber or flat grind

Page | 10
• French knife – used to chop, dice, or mince food.
Heavy knives have a saber or flat grind

• Roast beef slicer – used to slice roasts, ham, and


thick, solid cuts of meats

• Boning knife – used to fillet fish and to remove raw


meat from the bone

• Fruit and salad knife - used to prepare salad greens,


vegetables, and fruits

• Spatula – used to level off ingredients when measuring


and to spread frostings and sandwich fillings

• Citrus knife – used to section citrus fruits. The blade


has a two-sided, serrated edge

• Paring knife – used to core, peel, and section fruits


and vegetables. Blades are short, concave with
hollow ground.

24. Spoons – solid, slotted, or perforated. Made of stainless


steel or plastic, the solid ones are used to spoon liquids over
foods and to lift foods, including the liquid out of the pot

25. Temperature Scales - used to measure heat intensity. Different


thermometers are used for different purposes in food preparation
– for meat, candy or deep-fat frying. Other small thermometers
are hanged or stand in ovens or refrigerators to check the accuracy
of the equipment’s thermostat.

26. Two-tine fork – used to hold meats while slicing,


and to turn solid pieces of meat while browning or
cooking Made of stainless steel and with heatproof handle.

27. Vegetable peeler - used to scrape vegetables, such


as carrots and potatoes and to peel fruits. The best
ones are made of stainless steel with sharp double
blade that swivels.

28. Whisks for Blending, Mixing - used for whipping eggs


or batter, and for blending gravies, sauces, and soups.
The beaters are made of looped steel piano wires
which are twisted together to form the handle.

Page | 11
29. Wooden spoons continue to be kitchen essentials
because of their usefulness for used for creaming, stirring,
and mixing. They should be made of hard wood

Equipment
More complicated tools are called equipment. They may refer to a small electrical appliance, such as a mixer,
or a large, expensive, power operated appliance such a range or a refrigerator.
Equipment like range, ovens, refrigerators (conventional, convection and microwave) are mandatory
pieces in the kitchen or in any food establishment.

Refrigerators / Freezers are necessary in preventing bacterial


infections from foods. Most refrigerators have special
compartment for meat, fruits and vegetables to keep the
moisture content of each type of food. Butter compartment
holds butter separately to prevent food odors from spoiling
its flavor. Basically, refrigerator or freezer is an insulated box,
equipped with refrigeration unit and a control to maintain
the proper inside temperature for food storage.

Auxiliary equipment like griddles, tilting skillets, broilers/grills,


steamers, coffee makers, deep-fat fryers, wok, crockery,
cutting equipment (meat slicer, food choppers, grinders)
mixers and bowls, pots and pans are utilized most commonly
in big food establishments, some with specialized uses and
some are optional.

Microwave Ovens have greatly increased their use in the food


industry. Foods can be prepared ahead of time, frozen or
refrigerated during the slack periods, and cooked or heated
quickly in microwave ovens.

Blenders are used to chop, blend, mix, whip, puree, grate,


and liquefy all kinds of food. A blender is a very useful
appliance. They vary in the amount of power (voltage/wattage).
Others vary and do not do the same jobs.

Day 1
Objective:
a. Differentiate cleaning and sanitizing
b. Identify cleaning agent

MY READINGS
CLEANING AND SANITIZING
Cleaning and sanitizing procedures must be part of the standard operating
procedures that make up your food safety program. Improperly cleaned and
sanitized surfaces allow harmful microorganisms to be transferred from one food
to other foods.

Page | 15
Cleaning is the process of removing food and other types of soil from a surface,
such as a dish, glass, or cutting board. Cleaning is done with a cleaning agent that
removes food, soil, or other substances. The right cleaning agent must be selected
because not all cleaning agents can be used on food-contact surfaces. (A food-
contact surface is the surface of equipment or utensil that food normally comes
into contact.) For example, glass cleaners, some metal cleaners, and most
bathroom cleaners cannot be used because they might leave an unsafe residue on
the food contact surface. The label should indicate if the product can be used on a
food-contact surface. The right cleaning agent must also be selected to make
cleaning easy. Cleaning agents are divided into four categories:

1. Detergents – Use detergents to routinely wash


tableware, surfaces, and equipment. Detergents
can penetrate soil quickly and soften it. Examples
include dishwashing detergent and automatic
dishwasher detergents.

2. Solvent cleaners – Use periodically on surfaces


where grease has burned on. Solvent cleaners
are often called degreasers.

3. Acid cleaners -- Use periodically on mineral


deposits and other soils that detergents cannot
remove. These cleaners are often used to remove
scale in ware washing machines and steam tables.

4. Abrasive cleaners -- Use these cleaners to remove


heavy accumulations of soil that are difficult to
remove with detergents. Some abrasive cleaners also
disinfect. Clean food-contact surfaces that are used
to prepare potentially hazardous foods as needed
throughout the day but no less than every four hours.
If they are not properly cleaned, food that comes into
contact with these surfaces could become contaminated.

Day 2
Objective:
a. Identify methods of sanitizing
Your goal to this topic is to learn and
understand how to sanitize kitchen premises.

My Readings
Sanitizing
Sanitizing is done using heat, radiation, or chemicals. Heat and chemicals are
commonly used as a method for sanitizing in a restaurant; radiation rarely is.
The item to be sanitized must first be washed properly before it can be
properly sanitized. Some chemical sanitizers, such as chlorine and iodine,
react with food and soil and so will be less effective on a surface that has not
been properly cleaned.
Sanitizing Methods
1. Heat. There are three methods of using heat to sanitize surfaces – steam,
hot water, and hot air. Hot water is the most common method used in
restaurants. If hot water is used in the third compartment of a three-
compartment sink, it must be at least 171oF (77oC).
If a high temperature ware washing machine is used to sanitize cleaned
dishes, the final sanitizing rinse must be at least 180oF (82oC). For
stationary rack, single temperature machines, it must be at least 165oF
(74oC). Cleaned items must be exposed to these temperatures for at least
30 seconds.

2. Chemicals. There are three factors that influence the effectiveness of


chemical sanitizers Chemicals are approved sanitizers are chlorine, iodine,
and quaternary ammonium. Different factors. that must be considered
are:
• Concentration -- The presence of too little sanitizer will result in an
inadequate reduction of harmful microorganisms. Too much can be toxic.

• Temperature -- Generally chemical sanitizers work best in water that is


between 55oF(13oC) and 120oF (49oC).

• Contact time -- In order for the sanitizer to kill harmful microorganisms, the
cleaned item must be in contact with the sanitizer (either heat or approved
chemical) for the recommended length of time.
Sanitizer Testing
Page | 17
Every restaurant must have the appropriate testing kit to measure chemical
sanitizer concentrations. To accurately test the strength of a sanitizing solution,
one must first determine which chemical is being used - chlorine, iodine, or
quaternary ammonium. Test kits are not interchangeable so check with your
chemical supplier to be certain that you are using the correct kit. The appropriate
test kit must then be used throughout the day to measure chemical sanitizer
concentrations.

Cleaning and sanitizing utensils


There are three steps needed to effectively clean and sanitize utensils:
• Washing
• Sanitizing
• Drying

Utensils such as cutting boards, bowls and knives need to be thoroughly


washed in warm soapy water. After washing, the utensils should look clean and
there should be no food or anything else visible on them. Effective cleaning will
remove most of the dangerous bacteria present. Sanitizing will then kill any that
might remain.
A dishwasher is very effective at sanitizing if it has a hot wash and drying
cycle. If you do not have a dishwasher, you will need to sanitize in a sink using a
chemical sanitizer or very hot water. If using a chemical sanitizer such as a sodium
hypochlorite– or quaternary ammonium–based solution, ensure that it can be
safely used for sanitizing eating, drinking and cooking utensils. Follow the
instructions on the container carefully, as different sanitizers work in different
ways. If you are using very hot water, take extra care to avoid being scalded. All
utensils must then be thoroughly dried before they are re-used. Air-drying is best
but tea towels can be used if they are clean.
If you are washing up at an event being held outdoors, make sure you have
access to plenty of hot water. If hot water is not available, disposable eating and
drinking utensils should be used and enough cooking utensils provided to last the
duration of the event so that washing up is not necessary.

My Readings
Cleaning kitchen premises
Cleaning your kitchen regularly is important not only to keep it looking its best, but
also to remove all of the germs and bacteria that accumulate regularly in the
kitchen area. There are several surfaces around the kitchen, and by making a
homemade versatile cleaning solution, you can easily clean most of the surfaces
with one basic mixture of household ingredients that are probably already in your
kitchen cupboards.
Things You'll Need
• Broom
• Cleaning rags
• Bucket

Instructions
1. Collect loose dust by sweeping the kitchen floor daily with a broom or static
sweeper and wiping down counter tops, tables and other surfaces with a cleaning
rag. To remove sticky buildup, wipe with a damp cleaning rag and wipe a damp
mop over your kitchen floor.
2. Mix 1 gallon warm water in a bucket with ½ cup white vinegar and 1 tsp. dish
soap. Dip your mop into the bucket, wring the mop out and wipe across your
kitchen floors. The diluted vinegar solution makes it safe for any kitchen floor
surface while still strong enough to clean and disinfect. The dish soap assists in
cutting through any food residue that may be on the kitchen floor. Let your floor
air dry after cleaning.

3. Make an all-purpose cleaner in a spray bottle. Combine 3 cups warm water with
½ cup white vinegar and 1 tsp. dish soap.
4. Spray this solution onto kitchen surfaces and wipe off with a damp cleaning rag.
This works well on any type of kitchen surface including cabinetry, sinks, tables,
counters and any other area that requires cleaning.
5. Fill a few bowls with about ½ cup each of baking soda. Place these around your
kitchen to absorb odor and keep the kitchen smelling fresh. Open windows to let
fresh air circulate, which is especially useful when cooking strong-smelling foods.
