Study Notes
Baking
Importance of Measurement
- Accurate measurements are crucial in baking as it affects the final product's texture, flavor, and appearance.
- Small variations can alter the chemical reactions and ratios of ingredients.
Leavening Agents
- Yeast: fermentation produces CO2, causing dough to rise.
- Baking powder and baking soda: release CO2 gas, causing baked goods to rise.
Types of Flour
- All-purpose flour: versatile, suitable for most baked goods.
- Bread flour: high protein content, ideal for bread and pizza dough.
- Cake flour: low protein content, suitable for delicate pastries and cakes.
Food Safety
Personal Hygiene
- Wash hands thoroughly before handling food.
- Keep hair tied back, avoid loose jewelry, and wear clean clothes.
Safe Food Handling
- Separate raw meat, poultry, and seafood from ready-to-eat foods.
- Cook food to recommended internal temperatures to prevent foodborne illness.
Storage and Refrigeration
- Store raw meat, poultry, and seafood at the bottom of the refrigerator to prevent cross-contamination.
- Label and date leftovers, consume within 3-4 days.
Cooking Temperatures
- Beef, pork, and lamb: 145°F (63°C) with a 3-minute rest time.
- Chicken and turkey: 165°F (74°C).
- Ground meats: 160°F (71°C).
- Leftovers: reheat to 165°F (74°C).

- Chicken and turkey: 165°F (74°C) to prevent foodborne illness.
- Ground meats: 160°F (71°C) to ensure proper cooking.
- Leftovers: reheat to 165°F (74°C) to prevent foodborne illness.
Farm Equipment
Types of Farm Equipment:
- Tractors are versatile machines used for plowing, planting, and harvesting crops.
- Plows break up and turn over soil to prepare it for planting.
- Planters sow seeds at the correct depth and spacing to ensure proper growth.
- Irrigation systems provide crops with the necessary water for growth and development.
- Harvesters, such as combines and balers, gather crops efficiently and effectively.
- Sprayers apply pesticides, fertilizers, and other chemicals to promote healthy crop growth.
- Mowers cut grass and other crops to maintain a desired length and promote healthy growth.
Farm Equipment Operations:
- Tillage prepares the soil for planting by breaking up and turning over the soil.
- Seeding involves planting seeds at the correct depth and spacing for optimal growth.
- Plant care involves watering, fertilizing, and controlling pests and diseases to promote healthy crop growth.
- Harvesting involves gathering crops at the correct time to ensure maximum yield and quality.
Advantages of Mechanized Farming:
- Mechanized farming increases efficiency by reducing labor and time required for farming tasks.
- It improves accuracy by reducing human error and increasing precision.
- Mechanized farming increases productivity, allowing for larger areas to be farmed and more crops to be harvested.
- It is cost-effective, reducing labor costs and increasing profitability.
