25. – FOOD TECHNOLOGY – T1 Week 4

Kia Ora!!

For Tech this Monday, Group 2 (the Food Tech community of E.H.S) Whaea Leigh, the Food Tech’s teacher, ordered us to make ‘Cinnamon Pancakes’ – where the ingredients were written on a laminated sheet. Never in my life have I ever heard of that dish, nor did the people who were assigned in my group.  Group 2 had to split into groups of 3-4 and work in a station through 1 to 5. My group chose station 5 because it looked nice and the grey aprons did improve the modern-like look.

I don’t exactly remember the ingredients for the kai, so don’t question me about it.

My group in tech, used to have 4 people coo-operating within the small community I gathered to bake with me, but now that the teachers discussed on making a new group (because there used to be 3 groups for each class but there were too many students for the teachers to handle), which is group 4, they moved one of my friends into that group.. sadly. Since doing that, one of my friends had to take cover of cleaning after ourselves (Kitchen Hand – Washing the dishes, dusting flooring clean, and etc things that involves polishing), and that couldn’t be me because I was Sous Chef – the person who’s in-charge of the kitchen station, also known as the one who grabs the ingredients for our group. It was fully confirmed that day

Whilst making the pancakes, we all took turns – So one of my friends started by using the canola-oil-spray (so the batter of the pancake doesn’t stick upon the pan) then poured in approximately half a cup of the flour mixture to invent the look of our attempted pancakes. It was pretty fragile so it could rip easily – we had to be careful for our pancakes as we did our presentation, which kinda represented the image down below.

FOR REFERENCE THIS IS WHAT THE CINNAMON PANCAKE LOOKED LIKE REMOTELY. (I can’t get the photos of what I’ve baked with my group because it’s inserted in the Papakura intermediate’s photo album 🙂 ).

Next week Monday, our roles will switch – So since this week (Monday) I was Sous Chef, next week I would be the Kitchen Porter – Meaning that I would have to make things according to the method on the ingredient(s) paper. The person this week who was the ‘Kitchen Hand’ (cleaning job) would be the Sous Chef (leader in short terms) next Monday then the closing of this state, the person who was Kitchen Porter would become the cleaner (Kitchen Hand). It keeps repeating like over and stuff. (If you understand what I’m trying to imply 😅)

I’m going to end this post now! Comment down your thoughts and please pin point the mistakes I’ve unintentionally written down.
