5. Preparation Tasks
All recipes are different. Tasks may be more or less complex.
Dovetailing is accomplished during lab by multi-tasking. This means tasks can be done at the same time to save time and energy.
Pre-preparation tasks can be done before you put the recipe together such as getting yourself ready for labe, opening packages, gathering equipment and ingredients, greasing baking pans, chopping or cutting ingredients
Preparation tasks are completed once you start putting the recipe together

9. Work Plan Evaluation
A process where students and teacher reflect on the work plan experience’s success. Work plan evaluation includes:
1.02R Lab Evaluation

10. 1. Evaluate Planning : Use of the recipe
Was the recipe followed correctly?
Division of tasks among lab members equitably
Did everyone do their share of work in lab?
Collection of all equipment / ingredients
Were all of the ingredients and equipment in the lab ready to go prior to the start of construction?
1.02R Lab Evaluation

11. 2. Evaluate Preparation:
Use of measuring techniques.
Did the group use proper measuring techniques?
Correct use of appliances/equipment.
Did you use the proper appliances and equipment?
Application of sanitation procedures.
Did you wash your hands and clean the lab?
Correct table appointments / tableware placed on the table.
Did you set the table and eat with your group?
1.02R Lab Evaluation

12. 3. Evaluate Product Final cooking result. Appearance
Did the recipe turn out like you thought?
Appearance
This should be an objective observation. Not your own feelings toward the result.
Does the product look like it should?
Overall appeal and taste of the product.
Does the product smell and taste appealing?
1.02R Lab Evaluation

13. 4. Evaluate Clean-Up Cleaning duties were shared by everyone!
Did everyone help clean the lab area?
Was teamwork evident?
All areas of the preparation area cleaned.
Cleaning work areas and equipment help to control
bacterial growth. This prevents foodborne illness
Was the lab area clean when the lab was finished?
Work surfaces
Dishes clean, dried and put away in the proper
place
Sinks washed and dried out
Dirty towels in the appropriate area
1.02R Lab Evaluation

14. 5. Evaluate Team Skills Overall collaboration of the entire team.
Labs run smoothly when everyone shares responsibilities.
Was everyone pleasant to work with?
Ability to stay on task and complete lab preparation by designated time.
Did everyone work consistently and finish on time?
Ability to keep noise levels to an acceptable level.
Did everyone in lab work quietly? 14
1.02R Lab Evaluation

15. What Are the Benefits of a Work Plan?
Foods are ready at the appropriate time for serving
Foods meet time and temperature standards for food safety
Divides the tasks to be accomplished and allows for dovetailing

16. What’s Essential to Good Teamwork?
To be an effective team, group members must:
Organize jobs – decide who will complete each task
Cooperate – ask for help or support someone who needs help
Communicate – talk about recipes, warn of potential safety hazards, and update teachers and teammates on progress of meal
Take responsibility – learn and perform tasks and do it carefully and efficiently

17. What Are the Benefits of Good Teamwork?
Shares tasks to be accomplished
Teaches members to organize, cooperate, communicate, and take responsibility

1.02I Listing Preparation Tasks

21. Why is a timetable important?
The timing of tasks is important to ensure the completion of recipes in food lab or at home.
A timetable is implemented by dividing a sheet into six categories :
1.02M Timetables

22. These tasks can all be Dovetailed (Multitasked)
1. List tasks
List all tasks from pre-preparation to clean-up
For example, you would start with getting the ingredients, then getting equipment, and so on..
These tasks can all be Dovetailed (Multitasked)
1.02M Timetables

23. Calculate Preparation Times – determine the amount of time needed to complete all pre-preparation and preparation tasks
List Pre-preparation time: List time needed to execute the pre-preparation steps.
List Preparation time: List the time that you think is going to take to execute each step, such as mixing ingredients, cooking, or clean up. It is better to allow too much time than too little.
1.02M Timetables

24. 3. List Cooking time: always record the time that each dish needs to cook.
1.02M Timetables

25. 4. Calculate Total time: add together the pre-preparation, preparation and total cooking times.
If the pre-preparation is 3 minutes, preparation time is 3 minutes and cooking time is 10 minutes then the total time is 16 minutes for the dish.
Take into account tasks that you can dovetail
**Don’t forget to include time for thawing, marinating, or chilling if your recipe requires.
1.02M TimeTables

26. 5. Calculate Starting Time: subtract the total time needed to prepare the recipe from the time you want to serve the dish. If the meal needs to served at 6:00. Subtract 16 minutes from 6:00, this means the dish needs to be started by 5:44 to be ready on time.
