Study Notes
Food Spoilage
- Spoilage is the deterioration of food, making it inedible.
- Spoilage factors include:
- Microbial growth (bacteria, mold, yeast multiply, producing toxins).
- Enzymatic reactions (natural food enzymes break down food).
- Oxidation (food deteriorates from oxygen exposure).
- Temperature and humidity (poor storage speeds spoilage).
- Physical damage (handling/storage damage increases spoilage risk).
- Spoilage signs:
- Off odors/flavors.
- Slime/mold growth.
- Soft/slimy texture.
- Unusual color/appearance.
- Package damage/leakage.
- Prevention methods:
- Correct temperatures (refrigerate perishables at 4°C/40°F).
- Proper humidity.
- Airtight containers/packaging.
- Gentle food handling to minimize oxygen exposure.
- Consume within shelf life/use-by dates.
- Discard questionable food to prevent illness.
Poultry Cooking Methods
- Roasting: Oven-cooked, crispy exterior, juicy interior.
- Grilling: Direct heat, charred exterior, smoky flavor.
- Searing: High heat for crispy exterior, then lower heat finish.
- Braising: Low heat in liquid (stock/sauce), tender and flavorful.
- Poaching: Low heat in liquid (water/broth), moist and delicate.
- Frying: Hot oil, crispy exterior, juicy interior.
- Smoking: Low and slow over smoke, tender and flavorful.
Poultry Presentation & Plating
- Garnishes: Fresh herbs, edible flowers, microgreens (add color/fragrance).
- Sauces/Gravies: Serve alongside or spooned over.
- Fruits: Citrus, apples, berries (color/flavor pop).
- Textures: Crunch from nuts, seeds, crispy skin (contrast to tender poultry).
- Visual Balance: Mix colors, textures, and heights.
- Carving/Slicing: Use sharp knife, decorative board.
- Plating Styles: Rustic, elegant, modern to match flavor/atmosphere.
Plating Tips
- Simplicity: Less is more, poultry as a star.
- Color: Use colorful vegetables, fruits, sauces.
- Portion Size: Generous but not overwhelming.
- Focal Point: Create a clear highlight (e.g., perfectly cooked breast).
- Freshness: Herbs, citrus for brightness/flavor.
Poultry Presentation Ideas
- Garnished Platter: Roasted/grilled poultry, herbs, roasted vegetables.
- Nest Presentation: Shredded lettuce/kale base, poultry in center.
- Saucy Spooning: Rich sauce over the poultry (e.g., reduction, gravy).
- Tower Presentation: Stack poultry, avocado, bacon, cheese.
- Garden Fresh: Poultry on greens, veggies, fruits, edible flowers.
- Carving Station: Whole roasted poultry for guests to carve.
- Micro Greens/Fruit & Nut: Highlighting these additions.
- Herb-Crusted: Coated poultry with herbs, breadcrumbs, & spices.
- Deconstructed: Presenting dish components individually.
Plating Techniques
- Slicing: Thinly slice for visual appeal.
- Portioning: Individual servings (breast/thighs).
- Garnishing: Fresh herbs/flowers/greens for color.
- Saucing: Drizzle sauces/gravies for flavor.
- Texturing: Combine crunchy/soft elements for contrast.
