Salad Representing ServSafe Chapter 3

As our lab for chapter 3 we made a delicious salad using the strict rules of ServSafe. We used the following rules:

  • Put on hair net or hat to fully capture all hair.
  • Put on clean apron. 
  • Take off jewelry.
  • Make sure clothes are clean
  • Properly wash hands using the ServSafe steps.
  • Put on approved gloves.
As we finished these steps, we started work on our salad. First, we washed the lettuce, making sure to get under the leaves, the cucumber, and the tomatoes. After everything was washed and our items were laid out, we began shredding the lettuce, slicing the cucumbers, dicing the tomatoes, slicing the purple onions, and shredding the cheese. Afterwords, we put the salad together and I topped mine with bacon bits, croutons, and ranch.

ServSafe Chapter 3:

Just a Salad



A salad a day keeps the doctor away. When people think of something healthy a salad comes to mind, therefore, a salad we did make. First, we prepared ourselves. Putting up hair, wearing a clean apron, washing hands and putting on gloves was the first steps before entering into the kitchen. We start preparing the food with washed lettuce. We broke it across a cutting board and took away the bad pieces. While someone did that, another moved to slicing the cucumber. Then, the lettuce was moved to bowls and individually laid in each. That was soon followed by the sliced cucumber, a cut onion and a diced tomato. The cheese was sprinkled throughout the plates that was covered in bacon bits and croutons. Finally, we got to take off our aprons and gloves and enjoy the delicious crunch of the fourth of July in a plate.
Yesterday, we learned how to appropriately dress while preparing food. We wore gloves, clean aprons, and hats/hairnets. We also learned to change our gloves after touching different things. 
In addition, we learned how to wash vegetables. This is our scrumptious salad that we prepared while discussing chapter three.  

Chapter 3

We learned that you must wash your hands up to your elbows with over 100 degree water. Never blow into the gloves and only touch the top. No jewelry must be worn, never have your hair down, and always wear a apron while in the kitchen. When you have gloves on never touch your fave or any other part of your body.

Serv Safe Chapter 3

So, yesterday we covered Serv Safe Chapter 1. The chapter discusses good hygiene as well as hand washing. We had to wear hair coverings, remove jewelry, wear clean aprons, wash hands, and wear gloves. We also washed all of our vegetables in water that was slightly warmer than the temperature of the food. However, when rinsing the lettuce we had to peel it apart to be sure we washed the inside thoroughly. The lab was very entertaining and full of useful information.

Salad

In chapter 3 we learned that we could not wear our hair down or jewelry. We had to have a clean apron on. For the salad we had to wash the lettuce, tomato, cucumber and onion. Then, we had to chop up the ingredients and grated the cheese. We put the lettuce in first, then the tomatoes and onions, and finally cheese.

ServSafe Chapter 3/ Salad

I was supposed to wear gloves while making my salad, but the gloves were not large enough. I could not participate in making the salad due to risk of contamination, so I chose to wash the dishes when everyone finished eating.
