    Study Notes

    Cooking Appliances

    • A ring-top range is a type of flattop range with removable rings that provides access to concentrated heat from the fires below.
    • Induction cooktops heat up by stirring up molecules in steel or iron utensils using magnetism, and only heat the pots and cookware, keeping the kitchen cooler.
    • Induction cooktops can only handle pans made of iron or steel, but some cookware suppliers have reacted to this demand by producing pots and pans with layers of aluminium sandwiched between stainless steel.

    DO'S AND DON'TS

    • Make sure gas pilots are lit before turning on burners.
    • Adjust air entry to achieve a blue flame with a white tip for maximum heat.
    • Do not keep flattop ranges on high heat unless items are being cooked over them.

    Ovens

    • Ovens are enclosed spaces where food is heated, typically by hot air or microwaves or infrared radiation.
    • Ovens can be used to roast, braise, cook, poach, or simmer food, and can free up the range top and chef's focus for other duties.
    • There are many kinds of ovens beyond those discussed, often used for specialty or high-volume uses.

    Grills

    • Grills work similarly to broilers, except that the heat source is situated beneath the grid that contains the food.
    • Grilling creates a flavor that many people appreciate due to the smoke created by meat fats that drip into the heat source.

    Griddles

    • Griddles are flat, smooth, heated spaces used to prepare food precisely.
    • Griddles are available as separate units or as part of a range top.
    • Griddle surfaces should be cleaned after use and conditioned to create a nonstick surface and prevent rusting.

    Deep Fryers

    • A deep fryer's primary function is to cook meals in hot oil.
    • Standard deep fryers have thermostatic controls that maintain the temperature of the oil at preset amounts and can operate on either gas or electricity.
    • Automatic fryers remove food from the fat after a preset time.

    DO'S AND DON'TS

    • When filling kettles with solid fats, set the thermostat at 120°C until the fat has melted enough to cover the heating elements.

    General Operation

    • Food is put in a revolving bowl, which transports it to a pair of knives spinning swiftly beneath a cover.
    • The length of time the food is kept in the grinder affects the fineness of the cut.

    DO'S AND DON'TS

    • Always make sure the machine is completely assembled before use.
    • Close the cover lock knob, or the machine will not turn on.
    • Never reach under the bowl cover while the machine is running.
    • For uniform chopping, place the food in the bowl all at one time.
    • Keep the knives sharp.

    Attachments

    • The food grinder is mostly used to process meat, but can also mince other moist items.
    • The slicer/shredder consists of a hopper and a lever that feeds the food onto a revolving disk or plate.
    • The dicer attachment forces foods through a grid-type blade that cuts them into perfect dice.

    Slicer

    • A slicer cuts food more evenly and consistently than can be achieved by hand, and is beneficial for controlling portions and lowering cutting loss.
    • Most modern slicers have blades set at an angle, which causes slices to fall away with less breaking and folding.

    DO'S AND DON'TS

    • Be sure the machine is properly assembled before using it.
    • Always use the end weight to press the food against the blade.
    • Set the thickness control knob to zero when the machine is not in use or is being cleaned.
    • Always unplug the machine before dismantling and cleaning it.
    • Keep the blade sharp with the sharpening stones provided with the slicer.

    Food Processor

    • Food processors are used to combine or emulsify foods like sauces and seasoned butter, and to cut or purée foods like uncooked or prepared proteins.
    • They can also chop, shred, and julienne solid foods like veggies using special disc attachments.

    Blender

    • A blender consists of a base with a motor, topped by a container with a spinning blade.
    • Blenders are used to mix, purée, and emulsify liquids such as soups, sauces, and batters.
    • The motor speed ranges from 2 to 10 or more.
    • Stainless steel, glass, or plastic vessels are used.

    Immersion Blender

    • An immersion blender (stick blender) is made up of a long shaft or wand with a motor on the top and guard protected blade at the bottom.
    • It can be used to purée or combine hot or cold meals in any jar without moving them to a blender jar.

    Refrigeration

    • Walk-ins are customizable to fit any space.
    • The reach-in is a standard upright refrigerator, similar in shape to a large home refrigerator, minus the freezer unit.
    • Freezers are used to store foods for longer durations or to store foods purchased in frozen form.
    • To ensure refrigerators and freezers operate at peak effectiveness, practice the following guidelines:
      • Place items far enough apart and away from the inside walls, so cold air can circulate.
      • Keep doors shut when not in use.
      • Store foods well wrapped or covered to prevent drying and transfer of odors.
      • Keep refrigerators spotlessly clean.
