TO
Cookery is defined as a “chemical
process” of mixing the ingredients; the
application and withdrawal of heat to
raw ingredients to make it more
digestible, palatable, and safe for
human consumption.
Here are some of the reasons why we cook
foods:
a. cooking partly sterilizes food;
b. helps make the food more digestible;
c. increase the palatability of various dishes;
d. introduces variety; and
e. helps to provide a balance meal.
Let’s try to name the following items next
slide!
Are you familiar with the different
kitchen tools, equipment and
paraphernalia? Can you give some.
LESSON 1
KITCHEN
TOOLS AND
EQUIPMENT
AND
PARAPHERNA
 We have many tools and equipment used in the
kitchen. All of these are made up 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 most
popular, lightweight,
attractive, and less
expensive material thus
considered best for all
around use.
STAINLESS STEEL
is also one of the most
popular materials used
for tools and equipment
but is more expensive.
However, it is easier to
clean and shine and will
not wear out as soon as
aluminum.
 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.
A GLASS is
breakable,
and so great care is
needed to ensure
extended shelf life.
TEFLON is applied
as a
special coating to the
inside of some aluminum
or steel pots and pans. It
is easier to wash and
clean; however, take care
not to scratch the Teflon
coating with a sharp
instrument. Also, it helps
food from not sticking to
the pan.
PLASTIC AND
HARD
RUBBER is used for
cutting and chopping
boards, tabletops, bowls,
trays, garbage pails, and
canisters. Plastics are
remarkably durable and
cheap but may not last

and for blending.
A wooden spoon should
be made of hardwood. It
is a kitchen essential

for used for creaming,
stirring, and mixing
 HOUSEHOLD
EQUIPMENT
An equipment is considered a more
complicated tool. They may refer to a small
electrical appliance, such as a mixer, or a large,
expensive, power-operated appliance such as a
range or a refrigerator.
 A refrigerator/freezer is an insulated box
equipped with a refrigeration unit and control to
maintain the proper inside temperature for food
storage. They are necessary for preventing
bacterial infections from foods. Most
refrigerators have a special compartment for
meat, fruits, and vegetables to keep the moisture
content of each type of food
1. Measuring Cups for
Dry Ingredients are
used to measure solids
and dry ingredients.
2. Measuring Cup for
Liquid Ingredients is
commonly made up of
heat-proof glass and
transparent so that
liquid can be seen.
3. Measuring spoons are
used to measure smaller
quantities of ingredients.
4. Temperature Scales are
often small thermometers
that are hung or stand in
ovens to check the
accuracy of the equipment's
temperature. This is used to
measure heat intensity.
Soup ladle is used to
serve liquid food such as
soup or stews and
dessert sauces or other
foods.
Serving spoons are utensils
consisting of a small, shallow
bowl on a handle used in
preparing, serving, or eating

that produces heat using electricity. It can even
be used in baking.
