1. KITCHEN LAB DUTIES

2. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES Our kitchen works as a team, between your own classmates and the four other classes that use it every day. You will be assigned a lab duty every time we participate in a lab The expectation is that you will complete your assigned duty and if other duties are not completed because others are absent you take initiative to ensure all duties are done. You are not to leave the kitchen without permission from your teacher. You check in with the duty supervisor to have it checked you completed your duty. If you have time to lean you have time to clean. We are a licensed establishment and serve food not only to ourselves but to others so we must meet food safety codes.

4. DISH WASHER Two people will always be on dishes. Our kitchen has two sinks and a sanitizer. Dishes should all be placed on the side counter until the dishwashers are ready to start washing dishes. KNIVES NEVER GO IN THE SINK unless the dishwasher is washing it. You do not just take one dish from the pile and wash it and then another. Once dishes have been washed they get placed into the second sink to have the soap rinsed off. Then they are taken out by the second person and placed in a tray to be put in the sanitizer. Once the tray is full it is placed in the sanitizer. Let it run its cycle then pass the tray to the dish dryers

5. DISH DRYER There will be 2 to 4 people drying dishes each lab. You need to place a large towel on the counter to help contain water from the trays. Drying dishes means just what it says, you dry dishes. Using a dish towel you will dry off the dishes and either place them on the counter or give them to person in charge of putting them away. Make sure the dishes are fully dried before moving on to another dish. Snapping towels is not acceptable behaviour in the kitchen. You will lose lab marks for any horsing around in the kitchen. If there are some dishes that cannot go through the sanitizer you will be required to quats them and set them up to air dry.

6. DISH PUT AWAY 2 – 4 people will be assigned to this duty for each lab. You are responsible for putting dishes away in their proper place. If you do not know where something goes ask a classmate, if they do not know as the teacher. Do not put dishes away if they are still wet. Stack dishes as they were found on the very first day so that it saves room and prevents dishes from falling on the floor.

This is only done after each group has cleaned up their work station and cleaned the counter themselves with a damp cloth. Quats sanitizes the counter so spraying it over top of dirt is not cleaning the counter. Be sure to clean under things as well. Move them to ensure it is clean. REMEMBER: Each group must clean their own counter first, then it will be quatz by the person in charge of that duty.

14. DUTY SUPERVISOR AND TEMPERATURE LOG Each lab we will have someone who is the supervisor of the kitchen that ensures all duties are completed. Duty supervisor has the list of names of who is doing what. They ask other students to complete a duty if someone is absent. The duty supervisor is also able to help get jobs done and help pick up slack. If a student does not do their duty they report back to the teacher. They mark on the list absent, completed or incomplete (A for absent, a check mark for completed or an X for incomplete) They are also responsible for completing temperature logs. There is a temperature gun located with the timers. Use the logs attached to the fridge. They go in order as chest freezer, upright freezer, refrigerator, cooler.
