Standard 1
Identify food safety and sanitation rules and guidelines to maintain a safe working environment.

  1. Define food borne illness: An illness results from eating contaminated foods
    • General Symptoms: Fever, headache and digestive troubles are symptoms of food-borne illness.
  2. Review causes of unsafe food.
    • Physical: hair, metal shavings, fingernails, pieces of glass, etc.
    • Chemical: cleaning products
    • Biological: pathogens
      • Salmonella: (Bacteria) Often found in fresh poultry and raw eggs.
      • E-coli: (Bacteria) Usually found in undercooked ground beef, unpasteurized milk, fruit juices, produce.
      • Botulism: (Spore) Associated with improperly canned foods, specifically low-acid foods.
      • Hepatitis A: (Virus) Virus that can be transferred to food when infected food preparers touch food or equipment.
      • Listeria: (Bacteria) Commonly found in unpasteurized foods and deli meats.
      • Staphylococcus: (Bacteria) Caused by eating foods that were contaminated by food workers.
        • General conditions for bacteria growth: temperature, moisture, food and time.
  3. Review methods of prevention for food borne illnesses.
    • Personal Hygiene
      • Practicing proper hand washing can prevent a large majority of food-borne illnesses.
      • Hair should be controlled/restrained and covered when preparing food.
      • Uniform should be clean.
      • Hand washing and hand care
      • Wash with hot water and soap, scrub for 20 seconds, cleaning under fingernails and between fingers. Fingernails should be short and clean, with no nail polish or false nails, and jewelry should be removed to help prevent the spread of pathogens.

    • When handling raw meat, poultry, and seafood.
  5. While handling ready-to-eat food (foods that won't be heated before serving).
    • Storage of food
      • FIFO: First in first out in food storage rotation.
    • Do not buy or use bulging cans. (Botulism)
  6. Cold TCS (Temperature Controlled for Safety) foods should be stored at 41°F or below.
    • Raw meat, poultry, and seafood should be stored in the following top- to-bottom order in the refrigerator: seafood, whole cuts of meat, ground meats, then poultry. All raw meat, poultry, or seafood should be stored below any ready-to-eat food.
    • Ready to Eat Foods (Vegetables/Fruits)
      • 145F Whole Cuts of Meat/Seafood/Eggs
      • 155F Ground Meats
      • 165F Poultry/Stuffed Foods/ Previously Cooked Foods
  7. Stored food must be labeled with the name of the food and the discard date.
  8. Cooling Foods - (from 135°F to 70°F within 2 hours and then 70°F to 41°F within 4 hours).
    • Dividing food into smaller portions and storing in shallow containers.
    • Cooling time can also be decreased by placing containers of hot food into an ice bath and stirring frequently or using a chill blaster.
  9. Food Preparation
    • Proper thawing of food
    • Refrigeration- Keep temperature at 41 degrees or lower.
    • Running Water- Cool running water.
    • Microwave- Cook food immediately.

    • Danger zone (41°F-135°F degrees)
      • If food is held in the danger zone longer than 4 hours, it should be thrown out.
    • Cross-contamination is how bacteria can spread. It occurs when pathogens from unclean objects, people, or food touch cooked or ready-to-eat foods.
      • Be aware of the tools used during cooking-never use the same knife or equipment for raw meat, poultry or seafood to prepare ready-to-eat foods.
      • Always wash hands. Wash and sanitize equipment when switching tasks.
    • Frequently clean and sanitize work surfaces.
      • Clean means to remove visible soil and food particles.
      • Sanitize means to use heat or chemical agents to reduce pathogens.

      • Stay in the kitchen when frying, grilling or broiling food.
      • Keep anything flammable away from heat sources.
  13. Basic first aid
    • Cuts
      • In the case of a minor cut, clean wound, bandage and wear a glove. Apply direct pressure as needed.
    • Burns
      • Cool the burn with cool or lukewarm water. Never use ice.
      • In case of a grease fire, turn off the burner and cover with a lid, smother, or use the appropriate fire extinguisher. Never use water on a grease fire.

Standard 2
Discuss and apply basic food preparation principles.

  1. Terms

  2. Measuring
    • Equivalents
      • 3 teaspoon = 1 tablespoon
      • 1 cup = 16 tablespoon
      • 16 ounce = 1 pound
      • 2 cups = 1 pint
      • 4 cups = 1 quart
      • 16 cups = 1 gallon
    • Yield-the amount produced by recipe
      • Conversion factor=desired yield divided by original yield
  3. Equipment
    • Thermometer (digital and dial)
      • Insert thermometer into the thickest part of the food without touching bone or fat, when checking the temperature.
      • Calibrate a thermometer:
        • If calibrating a traditional thermometer. Fill a large glass with ice. Add clean tap wateruntil the glass is full and stir well, let water sit for 3 minutes. Put the thermometer stem or probe in the ice water mixture so that the entire sensing area is submerged. Do not let the stem of the thermometer or probe touch the sides or bottom of the glass. Wait until indicator stops moving. With the stem of the thermometer or probe still in the ice water mixture, use a wrench to turn the adjusting nut until the thermometer reads 32°F (0°C).
        • If calibrating a digital thermometer, press the reset button to automatically calibrate the thermometer.
    • Scale
      • Kitchen scales come in different types including a portion (spring) scale, electronic scale, and balance scale.
      • Scales are more accurate than volume measurements. More consistent results will occur with the use of a scale and recipes can be easily adjusted to fit any number of servings.
    • Identify types and use of knives.
      • Most commonly used knives
        • Chef's Knife: All-purpose knife.

      • Sauteing: Hot pan with a small amount of fat. Food is tossed or flipped during the cooking process.
    • Combination cooking methods
      • Braising: Sear food. Add some liquid and cover pan to create a moist cooking environment.
      • Stewing: Small pieces of food are seared then covered completely with a liquid and simmered.

Strand 2
Students will explore the changing nutritional needs through the life span and health concerns related to diet.

Standard 1
Identify the changing nutritional needs across the life span.

  1. Child (12 months to 11yrs)
    • Young children are active and growing, they need nutrient dense foods in small amounts frequently.
    • Set an example, children watch and learn from their caregivers.
    • Make meals fun, serve foods with bright color, different texture and shapes.
    • Do not use food as a reward or punishment.
    • Encourage children to drink water and/or milk instead of sugary drinks.
  2. Adolescence (12 to 20)
    • During growth spurts, more food is needed but the food should be nutrient dense.
    • Avoid high sugar and high fat snack foods and beverage.
    • Avoid high energy drinks.
  3. Adult (21 to 60)
    • Adults should be aware of the balance between caloric intake and spent energy.

      3. Athletes do not necessarily need supplements.
    • Pre-event/exercise
      1. The last meal before a competition or intense exercise should be a carbohydrate-rich meal, with a moderate amount of protein, low in fiber and fat consumed 1-4 hours before event or competition.
    • Hydration
      1. Water helps the body regulate many important functions. (Refer to Foods 1 Strand 5 Standard 3)
      2. Allowing the body to become dehydrated can cause muscles to cramp, alter blood pressure, cause weight loss during exercise, delay recovery time, and decrease performance.
      3. Drinking too much water can alter electrolytes and cause bodily harm.
      4. Athletes should drink water before and after an event even if they don't feel thirsty. Fluid needs are highly individual.
      5. Replenish electrolytes during and after vigorous exercise. (greater than or equal to 60 minutes) Sports drinks can be used for replenishment.
    • During an event/exercise
      1. Carbohydrate is the body's primary energy source during exercise.
      2. Carbohydrates are stored in the liver and in the muscle as glycogen.
      3. During exercise, the body draws upon these glycogen stores to fuel working muscles.
    • Recovery
      1. The body is primed to replenish lost nutrients soon after exercise.
      2. Focus on carbohydrates and protein as replenishment. Protein is needed to help build and repair the body.
      3. After an event start refueling within 60 minutes.
  2. Diet related health concerns

      1. Often there are no early symptoms but may include bloody stool and abdominal pain.
      2. Contributing factors: obesity, family history and lack of fiber in the diet.
      3. Ways to reduce risk: Eat between 25 and 35 grams of fiber per day.
      4. Regular colonoscopy screening at age 50+.
    • Osteoporosis
      1. Bones are porous and fragile due to a lack of calcium.
      2. Symptoms: bones break easily, curvature of the spine.
      3. Contributing factors: females, the older adults, race, family history, body frame size.

    • Obesity
      1. Obesity is having an excessive amount of stored body fat.
      2. Contributing factors: poor diet and lack of exercise, genetics.
      3. Balance calorie intake with output, generally people tend to underestimate their calorie intake and overestimate their calorie output.
      4. Ways to reduce risk: eat nutrient dense foods, increase physical activity.
      5. Complications: Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, stroke, breathing disorders, mental disorders.

Strand 3
Explore the purposes of planning meals: provide good nutrition, control cost, and present a complete dining experience.

Standard 1
Discuss planning meals to provide good nutrition. (Refer to Foods 1 Strand 6 for general information. Consider individual dietary needs discussed in Foods 2 Strand 2.)

  1. Identify the components of a food label to determine nutritional content
    • The nutrition facts panel on a food package lists the calories, nutrients, number of servings, and portion size of food.
    • Ingredients are listed from the largest to the smallest amount by weight.
    • % Daily Value on the nutrition facts label indicates the nutrients in one serving of food in relationship to a 2000 calorie diet.
    • calorie needs differ with each person- based on age, sex, and activity level.
    • Serving size Nutrition information is given per serving. Make sure to note the number of servings in a package before consuming it.

  1. A budget is a plan for managing money.
    • Factors to consider: The number of family members, time and skills available for food preparation, how often families eat out, and the family income.
  2. Plan menus. Good planning can help consumers create tasty, nutritious meals within a budget.
  3. Apply shopping strategies.
    • Assess pantry and food inventory before planning a menu/meal.
    • Create a categorized shopping list.
    • Plan the menu based on what is on sale at the local grocery store. Fruits and vegetable that are "in season" usually are less expensive and have better quality.
    • Do not shop when hungry or tired.
    • Shop alone.
    • Take advantage of technology. Examples: grocery apps, shopping online, grocery delivery.
    • Coupon use:
      1. Coupons should only be used on products that a consumer would purchase anyway. Coupons are instant savings.
    • Avoid Impulse buys.
      1. Impulse purchases are unplanned purchases.
    • Check package date to assure freshness and avoid waste.
    • Calculate unit pricing/cost per serving.
      1. Unit pricing is the cost per ounce, quart, pound, etc.
      2. Most stores show the unit price on the shelf label.
      3. If no unit price is given, it can be calculated it by dividing the item's total price by the number of units.
    • Comparison-shopping means matching prices and characteristics of similar items to determine which offers the best value.
      • Name brand products are usually more expensive than store brand products because more money is spent on advertising.

      3. In extremely hot or extremely cold temperatures they can die or slow down.

Standard 3
Identify the science principles of yeast breads.

  1. Kneading
    • When liquid and flour combine, they form gluten. As the dough is kneaded the gluten strands line up creating a structure where the carbon dioxide bubbles from the yeast are trapped, allowing the dough to rise.
  2. Fermentation
    • When yeast breaks down sugars, carbon dioxide and alcohol are produced, which causes the bread to rise.
  3. Proofing
    • The time period that dough rises prior to baking
  4. Oven spring
    • The expansion of the carbon dioxide when put into the oven.

Standard 4
Distinguish types of pies (pie shell, single, double).

      2. For others, the crust is baked empty or blind, and a prepared filling is added later (cream pies).
    • Double Crust Pies: A pie with a top and bottom crust.
      1. Double-crust pies are fruit filled(apple, cherry) or savory pies (chicken pot pie).
    • Tarts: A tart is a filled dessert with a single crust.
      1. Tarts are similar to a single crust pie based on the nature of the crust, shallow, varied of shapes and sizes.

Standard 5
Identify main ingredients of a pie crust and their functions.

  1. Flour
    • forms the structure of the pie crust.
  2. Fat

    • Fruit pies can be stored at room temperature.

Strand 5
Identify commonly used meat and poultry and appropriate preparation techniques.

Standard 1
Identify sources of meat products.

  1. Source of complete protein.
  2. Meat products provide varying amounts of saturated fat based on the type of cut.
    • Pork: Meat from a pig.
      1. Mild flavor.
      2. Commonly used in processed meat products. (Sausage, bacon, ham cured meats)
    • Beef: Cattle more than one year old.
      1. Some cuts of meat are more tender than others. The two main reasons for this are muscle movement and age.
      2. Marbling is small white flecks of fat that melt during cooking making the meat more flavorful. Cuts with marbling are also more tender.
      3. Ground beef is available with different amounts of fat.
    • Veal: Calves (young cattle), usually one to three months old.
      1. Mild flavor, smooth, velvety texture,light gray-pink color with very little fat.
      2. Can be expensive and difficult to source.
    • Lamb: Sheep less than a year old.
      1. Unique, mild flavor; bright, pink-red color; brittle white fat.
    • Poultry
      1. Poultry is any bird raised for food. (Chicken, Turkey, Duck etc..)
      2. Most of the fat in poultry is attached to the skin.
      3. Within poultry, there are two types of meats-white and dark. The different colors are based on the different locations and uses of the muscles.
        1. Dark meats occur in the legs. Dark meat generally has more flavor and fat than the white meat.
        2. White meat is generally large pieces and a mild flavor.

Standard 2
Discuss inspection and grading of meat and poultry.

  1. All meat and poultry sold in the United States must be inspected for safety and wholesomeness.
  2. The USDA also grades meats and poultry. Grading is classifying products according to quality.
    • Grading of meats is based on marbling, maturity, and muscle conformation.
      1. Common Beef Grades are: Prime, Choice, and Select
    • Grading of poultry is based on size and quality.
    • Grading is voluntary and helps meatpackers market their products.
