Theory: Health and safety
Their clothing and footwear is clean and hygienic and prepared for work:
Before you start cooking you will need to remove any nail polish on your fingernails, once removed you will then need to tie up your hair or contain your hair with either a hairnet or hat. you will then remove any jewellery form your hands and once you have done all three steps will you then wash your hands to start cooking. also, your fingernails need to be kept short so it's less likely to carry bacteria underneath them or a nail chipping in the food, and then when going to eat the food you will be eating a fingernail in your food. you need to remove jewellery because rings, watches, etc and get washed regularly and carries a lot of bacteria and can contaminant the food. you should always wear a hair net or tie up your hair because you don't want hear falling in to your food because you don't want to be eating hair in your food.

They clean and dry hands hygienically after carrying out any unhygienic activities that could contaminate food after:
If you're cooking and you need to go toilet take your apron off then go toilet then wash your hands after going toilet and then put your apron back on. if you've touched any rubbish, money, chemicals and raw food wash your hands afterward cause they have bacteria or harm full chemicals which is dangerous for your health. if handling raw food you wanna wash your hands cause raw food bacteria and you cook the raw food to kill off the bacteria. you shouldn't ever smoke near food cause of the bacteria that can affect the food like nicotine which is bad when mixed with food. when you blow your nose and cough you should always go wash your hands for the 20 seconds
They hygienically cover cuts, wounds and any skin conditions that could contaminate food:
if they got cuts or any wounds or skin conditions you put a plaster on it and then a glove or if you've cut your finger while cooking and blood coming out then whatever foods around your blood its best to throw it away all the food that you've touched and clean up the blood and clean yourself up.
They avoid all personal habits that may contaminate food:
try to prevent touching yourself like scratching, playing or scratching your hair and your nose and mouth cause they could have bacteria on them. you might scratch your skin which can also scratch off bacteria with your nails and you might pull hair out when you're scratching your hair and you might accidentally pull your hair out and it could get in the food while you're mixing it the food with your hands so its best if you just wear a hairnet and if you've got long hair use a hair net to tie it up and if by any chance you touch your hair you go wash your hands and try not touching your hair again. and also spitting should never happen in cooking space, have some common sense.
They always use hygienic work practices to prevent contamination of food:
make sure when you go to use cloves that they're all clean and they're from the box and not just lying down on the table. grab gloves out of the box, also make sure there's no rips or anything too. when you're dealing with meat or whatever and tongs are needed to grab that food make sure they're clean and there's no food left on them and if there is clean the tongs and then use them. when sampling food you don't need much so just small amounts and if you're gonna use the same spoon just go wash it properly or just go get another spoon, don't use your hands. whenever you gotta wash your hands make sure you wash them for as long as the birthday song goes for which is like 22 seconds.

Before we start cooking as chefs we need to have clean-cut fingernails (NO nail polish) and to remove all jewellery, like watches, bracelets and rings. You do this to stop fingernails, jewellery, bandages nail polish chips from falling into any food thus contaminating the food or bacteria falling into the food from the jewellery or bacteria from falling in the food from any of them and the bacteria from under the fingernails.
Again we are expected to tie up long hair or wear a hairnet and make sure it's over the hairline this includes beard nets its because you don't want a stray hair from falling into the food causing bacteria to spread into the food.
As chefs, we are expected every time we cook to wash our hands with warm soapy water for 20 seconds or alternately the happy birthday song is sung twice warm water is more effective than cold water, we then dry our hands for 20 seconds with a clean dry towel or a disposable paper towel
and we wash our hands after handling money or going to the bathroom, smoking or touching your face.
. After you have done this you put on an apron then go and wash your hands you do this to stop any bacteria or hair getting onto any of the food. Lastly, you wipe down your bench with Dettol spray and a wiping cloth then wash your hands again because you have been touching Dettol which is a chemical that is harmful for consumption. DO NOT SMOKE DURING COOKING, YOU FILTHY CREATURE.




temperatures: its important when we are cooking that we reach the required internal temperature which is 75.c or higher this is when you know there won't be any bacteria
During cooking:
During cooking you have to separate the foods by the different coloured boards and knives, this prevents cross-contamination. The yellow board and knife are for raw chicken, the green knife and board is for vegetables, the red board and knife is for raw red meats, the whiteboard is for dairy products and finally, the brown board is for cooked meats. you make sure you use clean utensils if you are cooking chicken you have to make sure that the internal temp for chicken is 75°C if you don't do that it can cause the people who eat the chicken to get salmonella or food poisoning. Avoid scratching, picking your nose, touching your nose or mouth, spitting and touching your hair and when you cough please do it into your arm because nobody likes your bodily juices in their food.
after cooking:
when the cooking is done you wash and dry all the things you used during cooking and put them away in their respective places. you then wipe down the tables with Dettol and a wiping cloth you then put your apron and cloths that you used for drying and wiping down the tables and put them in the washing basket to be washed for the next time you cook.

Theory: cross-contamination/storage of food and proper pest control
It is important at the start of every practical to ensure both the work area and the equipment are clean and sanitised because we need to ensure that we don't cause cross-contamination.
On the bottles of cleaners, they tell us how to prepare the cleaner this is so we don't get any chemicals into the food when we are preparing the food or cooking the food After wiping down your working space with any cleaning products you need to wash your hands as any of the cleaning chemicals could get into the food . Food should not be left out to defrost for more than two hours but Ideally, you want to defrost foods in the fridge. If you have put foods in a freezer and they have started to defrost then you chuck the food out as you don't know how long the foods have been defrosted for and tell you manager about the freezer. After wiping down your working space with any cleaning products you need to wash your hands as any of the cleaning chemicals could get into the food
How to prevent pests:
- Inspect incoming goods to make sure they are free from pests
- Make the building insect proof by using fly screens
- Bird proof nesting areas
- Ensure rubbish is removed regularly and kept covered
- Use electric fly killers and or insecticides
- Store food in airtight containers
- Prevent birds from entering the premises
- Lay traps
- Do not provide a food supply
- Ensure cleaning schedules are adhered to
- Store food in pest-proof containers
- Store food so that it allows for easy cleaning of storage areas
- Place closed bait stations around the premises
- Prevent access by closing gaps
- Ensure building maintenance tasks are carried out on time
