The Semester Begins!

School has started up and I am in the kitchen. The first two weeks will be spent reviewing safety, knife skills, and overall proper kitchen behavior. Thus nothing terribly interesting for the blog but starting sept 8th we will be cooking. So here comes the boring, though informative, things we covered this week. How to wash your hands, now for those of you that don't know, you rinse your hands with hot water, lather with soap scrubbing vigorously for 15-20 seconds, rinse and repeat once. Lastly dry with a disposable towel. Okay now that the most difficult part of my week was relayed here are some other safety rules. Cook all poultry to an internal temperature of 165*, cook pork chops and beef steaks (though some like steak cooked lower) to 145*, beef, pork and lamb roasts are also 145* for four minutes. Ground beef or other ground meats should be cooked to 155*. That was pretty much all we covered sorry about the lack of food talk, I promise next week will be more interesting.
