The task: This practical of Home Economics we made ham wraps. Ingredients we were using were Ham, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and sauces.
The process: The first step was to wash our hands and wiped our table with anti-bacteria spray. We then gathered our ingredients using tongs. After that, We rinsed and separated them into bowls furthermore we begun prepping them as for example, slicing the tomatoes, cutting the ham into strips and grating the cheese. Next, we cleared our table and set out the food neatly and begun on the dishes. Later after that, we were showed how to fold our wraps correctly and was allowed to leave the room.
Example of high-risk food that was used how do you have to handle to keep safe:
When handling the ham, we ensured everything was treated carefully and we used the appropriate equipment, for example, using the brown board which is for the meat that has been cooked, and the black knife for meats.
Vegetables - When working with the vegetables, We rinsed them thoroughly and separated it from the meats. And proceeded to cut them on the appropriate board which is the green.
Explain the health & safety procedures you put in place prior, during & after. Give 2 examples for each:
I ensured that I washed my hands with warm soapy water and checked that my apron was clean and had no marks. By doing this, I am making sure no bacteria are on my hands nor apron because when I washed my hands the soap and hot water killed off the bacteria due to bacteria need differences. Creating an environment that they don't like and cannot live.
During:
During our session, we applied the correct equipment when we placed and cut our ingredients. For instance, the green board for slicing veggies and the brown board for cutting ham.
When doing this strategy, we increase or completely take away the chance of cross-contamination with any of the ingredients. We know this because we have been taken close care with the veggies and meat and made sure they haven't crossed each other in any way. That way we know our foods have no bad bacteria that can cause to grow.
After:
When we were finished with the making of our ham wrap we made sure our dishes were washed correctly with warm soapy water to ensure that all the bacteria were all washed away.
