LESSON 1:

PREPARING STOCK REQUIRED FOR MENU ITEMS INTRODUCTION The lesson deals with the classification of ingredients used in the standard recipes, culinary terms and stock, clarifying agents used in preparing stocks. It also deals with the selection of stocks, conveniences and substitute products and the common problems and how to identify and rectify them.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA:

1. Ingredients and flavoring agents are used according to standard recipes and enterprise standards.

2. Varieties of stocks are produced according to enterprise standards. 3. Clarifying agents are used appropriately in preparing stocks. 4. Convenience products are used appropriately.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

Information Sheet 1.1 STOCKS Stocks are great enhancement of flavor in food. The most basic food preparation is that of quality stocks. They are made by simmering meat, poultry, seafood, and vegetables in liquid to attract flavor, color, body, aroma, and nutrient values. A very flavorful liquid that is carefully and properly made can produce a variety of products. It can be used as a basic in soups, sauces and other preparation. Its taste should be definite to allow ready identification, but it should not be too strong to compete with other dish.

stock a liquid in which meat fish and sometimes vegetables have

been cooked

clarification to make or become clear

fumet the savory color of meat while cooking

savory a hardy, annual aromatic culinary herb of the mint family

poach to cook food in a hot liquid in such a manner that it retains its

original shape

aromatic having a smell of fragrant spicy

simmer to cook very gently in water just below the boiling point

skim to remove floating water from the surface with a ladle

mirepoix a mixture of vegetable, herbs, and spices with or without meat,

used to enhance flavor of meat, fish and shell fish.


A. Types of Stock

1. White stock or Fond Blanc is made by gently simmering poultry, beef or fish

bones. The aromatics in water are appropriate to extract the water-soluble proteins that provide flavor and body. It is a clear and colorless liquid.

2. Brown Stock of Fond Brun is made by browning meat and bones of beef, veal, or game through roasting with aromatic vegetables. It is an amber liquid.

3. Fumet is made with fish bones in which bones and mirepoix are allowed to

cook before the liquid is added. The technique is known as sweating method. It is a highly flavored stock.

4. Court Bouillion is an aromatic vegetable broth that is commonly used for

poaching fish but it may also be used for cooking vegetables that are supposed to be served chilled or a la grecque. It usually has wine or vinegar.

5. Remoullage is made from bones that have already been used. This stock is

less strong. It is a second stock which is usually reduced to make a glaze. 6. Broth or Bouillion is the liquid that is produced from simmering meat. It maybe

used as a basis for soup, stew, and braises, but it can also be used as a soup. 7. Jus is a rich, lightly reduced stock used as a source for roasted meat. This

is done by deglazing the roasting pan, then reducing to achieve the rich flavor desired.

8. Ham stock made from ham hocks

9. Prawn stock made from boiling prawn shells

10. Vegetable stock made from vegetables 11. Master stock a special Chinese stock used primarily for poaching meats,

flavored with soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, ginger, garlic and other aromatics. 12. Glace viande a stock made from bones, usually from veal, that is highly

concentrated by reduction. Information Sheet 1.1 B. Rules for Preparing Stocks

1. The stock ingredients are boiled starting with cold water. This promotes the

extraction of protein which may be sealed in by hot water. 2. Stocks are simmered gently, with bubbles just breaking the surface, and not

boiled. If a stock is boiled, it will be cloudy. 3. Salt is not usually added to a stock, as this causes it to become too salty,

since most stocks are reduced to make soups and sauces. 4. Meat is added to the stock before the vegetables and the scum that rises

to the surface is skimmed off before further ingredients are added.


C. Ingredients of Stock

1. Bones the flavor of the stock comes from the cartilage and connective

tissues. 2. Mirepoix a combination of onion, carrots, celery and sometimes other

vegetables (carrot skins and celery end.) 3. Herbs and Spice their use depends on availability and local traditions

(The bouquet garni for "garnished bouquet") is a bundle of herbs usually tied together with string and mainly used to prepare soup, stock, and various stews. The bouquet is cooked with the other ingredients, but is removed prior to consumption. Example of this are parsley, bay leaves, and thymes).

D. Flavoring Agents

1. herbs

2. flavor enhancers 3. oil extract

E. Convenience and Substitute Products

1. bouillon cubes or powder 2. flavoring enhancer 3. flavoring packs sinigang, ginisa mix

F. Clarifying Agent

Soup Information Sheet 2.1

SOUP

Soups are gently simmered liquid with a major flavoring component from meat, poultry, fish, shellfish and vegetables. It should also have herbs and spices to enhance flavor and to reduce the use of salt. Kinds of Soups:

1. Clear soups are clear, flavorful broths that are amber to brown in color. They are very similar to stocks, except that broths are based on meats rather than bones so they are richer and have a more defined flavor. Broths can be used as a liquid in preparing broths. A good quality broth should be clear, aromatic and rich-tasting with a very evident flavor of the major ingredient. One strong and clear broth or stock is a consomm. It is made by combining lean chopped meat, egg whites, mirepoix, herbs and spices and an acidic ingredient like tomatoes, wine or lemon juice. The combination is called clarification since the particles that make the broth appear cloudy are trapped as it cooks. A good quality consomm is crystal clear, has a good body, amber to brown in color and completely fat-free.

Bouillon a clear soup from beef, chicken or other milk

Consomm a clear soup made from chicken and veal and sometimes boiled water.

Broth made from vegetables and meat stock 2. Thick soup is a cream soup based on bchamel sauce and is finished with

a heavy cream. A bchamel sauce is milk thickened with roux. But some thick soups are veloute sauce-based, stock thickened with roux. A veloute sauce base is usually finished with a liaison of heavy cream egg yolk. A thick soup should have a velvety smooth texture and the thickness of heavy cream. It is always essential to strain out the solids and at times to puree and put back in the soup. Cream soups may be served hot or cold.

A kind of cream soup based on crustaceans like shrimps and

lobsters is bisque. It is made by simmering a crustacean in a stock or a fish fumet.

Another thick vegetable soup is the chowder made with broth, milk

or water as base, then thickened with roux. Cold, thick soups such as

scum a firmly layer of impure matters on the surface of a liquid

veloutes a rich white sauce made by thickening chicken or veal

stock with flour and water.

stew to simmer or boil in a small quantity of liquid.


vichyssoise are simply cream soups served cold. Others like gazpacho or a chilled cantaloupe soup are based on a puree of cooked or raw ingredients brought to the correct consistency by adding fruits or vegetable juice as a liquid

Thick soup (depends upon the thickening agent)

Purees vegetable soup thickened with starch

Bisques made from pureed shellfish thickened with cream.

Cream soup thickened with bchamel soup.

Veloutes soup thickened with egg, butter and cream.

Chowder soup made from fish, clam or vegetables like corn, potatoes; and spinach thickened with butter milk and flour.

LESSON 3

PREPARING SAUCES REQUIRED FOR MENU ITEMS

INTRODUCTION This lesson deals with the classification of sauces, common culinary terms on sauces, different thickening agents for sauces, bases for a variety of sauces and common problems on sauces.


1. Varieties of hot and cold sauces are prepared from classical and contemporary recipes based on the required menu items.

2. Derivations are made from basic sauces. 3. Variety of thickening agents and convenience products are used

appropriately. 4. Sauces are evaluated for flavor, color and consistency. 5. Problems are identified and solved in accordance with enterprise

policy.

DEFINITION OF TERMS


SAUCES

One of the important components of a dish is the sauce. Sauces serve a particular function in the composition of a dish. These enhance the taste of the food to be served as well as add moisture or succulence to food that are cooked dry. Sauces also enhance the appearance of a dish by adding luster and sheen. A sauce that includes a flavor complementary to a food brings out the flavor of that food. It defines and enriches the overall taste and its texture. Kinds of Sauces:

1. Brown a roux-based sauce made with margarine or butter, flavor and

brown stock. (Romesco Sauce)

roux - a melted butter mixed with brown flour for thickening soup and

grains.

drippings - the juice that drips from roasting or baking meat or a sauce

made from it.

spice - an aromatic, pungent vegetable substance used to flavor food and

beverages.

LESSON 4

STORING AND RECONSTITUTING STOCKS, SOUP AND SAUCES

INTRODUCTION

The lesson deals on the storing and reconstituting of stocks, soup, and sauces.


1. Stocks, sauces and soups are stored properly to maintain optimum

freshness and quality.

2. Stocks, sauces and soups are reconstituted to appropriate standards

of consistency.


DEFINITION OF TERMS Information Sheet 4.1

Storage of Soup, Stocks and Sauces

The stock should never be put in the refrigerator while it is hot. The large

volume of hot liquid can raise the internal temperature of the refrigerator to the point that the stock will cool sufficiently within two hours and may warm everything else in the refrigerator. A good way to cool the stock is to place the hot stock pot in a sink full of cold water and ice cubes until it is lukewarm but it should not exceed one hour. After leaving it uncovered for the first half hour and stirring occasionally to cool, it should be covered with an upside down plate to prevent evaporation which would cause the stock to become too concentrated. Refrigerated stock cools better in shallow pans. If covered, stock lasts up to five days but it is best if used in two days.

Storage of Starch and Sauces

Sauces and starches should be kept in airtight container and stored in a cool dry place away from the moisture, oxygen, lights, and pests. Food made with starches contains egg, milk, cream of other dairy products all of which make them prone to bacterial contamination and to food-born illnesses. Sauces made with these ingredients should be kept out of the temperature danger zone. Thickened sauce should also be prepared, served, and stored with caution. These products should be stored in the refrigerator and never left to stay for long at room temperature.

Storing Equipments

1. Glass/Plastic Container 2. Stock pot 3. Refrigerator

Ways to Reconstitute Stocks

1. Skim the surface and strain off the stock through a china cup lined with several layers of cheesecloth.

2. Cool the stock as quickly as possible as follows: Set the pot in a sink with blocks, rack or some other object under it.

This is called venting. This allows cold water to flow under the pot or as around it.

Run cold water into the sink, but not higher than the level of the stock.

reconstitute to add appropriate amount of water to sauce or soup. sauce a thickened liquid used to flavor and enhance other food


Stir the pot occasionally so the stocks cool evenly

Cooling stock quickly and properly is important. Improperly cool stock can spoil in 6 to 8 hrs.

3. When cool, refrigerate the stock in covered containers. Stock will keep 2 to 3 days if properly refrigerated. Stock can also be frozen and will keep for several months.

To reconstitute stock, water, and other liquid like evaporated milk,

coconut milk fruit juices may be added.

Ways to Reconstitute Stocks, Sauce and Soup

1. By adding water

2. By using other liquid like evaporating milk, coconut milk, and fruit juices

LESSON 1

SELECTING MEAT

INTRODUCTION The lesson deals with the different classifications of meat, its market forms, cuts and their characteristics, nutritive content and food values, the appropriate

trade names and culinary terms in accordance with standard meat cuts, handling, and waste minimization of meat leftovers.


1. Primary, secondary and portioned cuts of pork, lamb, beef and veal are selected as required for menu items.

2. Offal and fancy meats are selected as required for menus. 3. Leftovers are used to minimize waste. 4. Low cost cut meat products are selected when and where appropriate.


5. The best supplier for quality and price are selected according to enterprise requirements.

6. Appropriate purchase and storage techniques are used to minimize wastage.

DEFINITION OF TERMS:


MEAT Meat refers to animal parts that are used as food. Edible organs and glands

of animal meats include tongue, liver, kidney, sweetbread, heart, brain, lungs, tripe, and small intestines. Meats should be loosely wrapped and stored under refrigeration. They should be in a separate unit. Meats should always be placed on trays to prevent drippings on the floor or on the food. The chef should separate the different kinds of meat to prevent cross-contamination. Meats should be wrapped in air-permeable paper such as butchers paper because air-tight containers promote bacteria growth that could result in spoilage or contamination. Variety meats and uncured pork products that have short shelf lives should be cooked as soon as possible after they are received.

Meats that are stored at the proper temperature and under optimal conditions

will last without unnoticeable quality loss for several days. Inspection of all meats is mandatory. After fresh meat has been inspected by

an authorized inspector or veterinarian and is declared wholesome and fit for human consumption, it may already be classified into grades. Quality conformation and finish of the carcass is the basis for grading. Quality includes tenderness, juiciness and palatability. The shape, form or general outline of the side or the whole carcass is the conformation. If there is a high meat to bone ration and a high percentage of the tender cuts, it means a good conformation. Finish refers to the quality, amount, and color of the fat within and around the muscle.

Market forms of meat are those cuts of meat that are ready for sale. Some cuts are fully boned and trimmed before they are ready for sale. Meats can be sold fresh, chilled, frozen, cured, and processed.

Pork, lamb, veal, and beef are almost structurally identical. Being four-legged

animals, they have the same number of bones mals, same number of bones with the same shapes in the same plates.

slaughter to butcher an animal for food. wastage - loss by use tender cut part of meat that requires less period of cooking tough cut part of meat that requires longer period of cooking vermin small animals such as rats and mice which cause problems to

humans by carrying disease and damaging crops or food.


Tips on Buying the Right Kind of Meat

1. Buy meat where proper hygiene and sanitation is observed by the handler.

For instance, check the meal stalls cutting table. The table must be smooth, free from crevices and kept clean at all times. See that dust and vermin are kept away from the meat stalls.

2. Look for the inspected-and passed stamped marks, especially in big cuts of

meat. It pays to go to your favorite suki in the market while the butcher is still cutting the beef carcass into retail cuts. This will more or less help in the identification of the carcass, whether its really cows meat or carabaos or horses.

3. Know the different meat cuts that are needed in your menu. Select meat for

specific use. For example, shank and brisket for stew. The tender portion is the tender cuts that lie along the back. The less tender cuts are those involved in the excessive movements of the animal such as the leg, shoulder and neck. Remember that young animals are porous and red while white in older animals.

4. Check if the beef is fine, bright red in color with yellow fat and free from slime

and off-odor. Avoid brightly off-colored meat as this indicates the use of artificial coloring like achuete.

5. When buying ground meat of good quality, select from a big cut and have it

ground by the butcher in your presence. Dont buy pre-grounded beef or pork.

6. Buy refrigerated meat in places where refrigeration facilities are available. 7. Meat should not be wrapped in newspaper, use plastic bags or other vapor

resistant wrapping materials.

8. Thawed meat must be cooked immediately.

9. When storing meat to be frozen, package in convenient family size units and identify properly as to the kind of meat cuts and date of purchase.

10. Store packages correctly in the refrigerator. Refrain from overloading the

freezer and provide space for the air to circulate inside the freezer.

11. Freeze quickly at zero or lower temperature. Beef should not be kept frozen for more that 12 months, while pork should not over 6 months. Frozen meat is just as good as fresh meat provided it is properly handled.

12. The use of pressure cooker, if available, shortens cooking time thereby saving

fuel and improves the tenderness of the meat.

Information Sheet 1.1Market forms and source of Beef Cuts


Market forms and Source of Pork Cuts

Market Forms of Meat

1. Fresh meat - meat taken immediately after slaughter without undergoing chilling. It is the common form of meat sold in public markets. 2. Chilled meat meat that has been kept to a temperature just above freezing at 1-3C within 24 hours after slaughter. This is available in supermarkets and specially meat shops.

3. Frozen meat - meat cuts frozen to a temperature of -2C. Imported meat is sold in this form, and texture is stone hard.

4. Cured meat - are meat products that have been treated with curing agent. Examples of this form are ham, bacon, tapa, tocino and sausage.

5. Processed meat - may include not only the processed canned meat, but also preparations that are frozen such as frozen meat pies, rolled meats and others in the convenience food shelves.


MEAT CUTS

Types of meat cuts and their characteristics

1. Tender cuts of meat - taken from the parts of the animal where the muscles are not well-exercised and are fleshy. Example: sirloin, porterhouse, t-bone, prime ribs, tenderloin.

2. Less tender - meat cuts which come from the most exercised muscle parts of a live animal. Example: chuck, flank, rumps, hock, neck feet and shoulder.

3. Tough cuts meat that requires a longer cooking period over low heat.

Nutritive Content and Food Values of Meat Lean meat supplies great amount of high quality protein with an average of

18% of the meat. It contains all the essential amino acids. It is also a good source of phosphorous, iron, and vitamins A, B and B2. Unsaturated fatty acids are also present in meat. The amount of energy (calories) supplied by meat varies with the fat content of animal species. Handling of Meat Fresh meat spoils quickly, so it must be stored immediately. If the animal is slaughtered and handled in a sanitary manner, there is no need to wash its meat before storing, wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove dirt on surface. Make sure it is dry before wrapping. It is a good idea to portion meat needed for one cooking into individual wrap. This way, you avoid refreezing portions that will be cooked at a later time and avoid bacteria to grow. Waste Minimization of Meat The correct way of purchasing or buying meat is important to minimize waste.

Here are some guidelines to consider: 1. Know the desirable characteristics of each type of meat. 2. Look for the stamp of BAI which indicates that it was inspected. 3. Consider the form or cut you need. 4. Check the thickness and distribution of fat inside and outside of meat. 5. Make sure it does not have foul odor. 6. Choose young animals for more tender meats. 7. Check whether the flesh of beef is red in color and pork is pink.

CARVING MEAT

Meat carving is the process and skill of cutting portions of meat, such as roast and poultry, to obtain a maximum or satisfactory number of meat portions, using a carving knife or meat-slicing machine. A meat carver disjoints the meat and slices in uniform portions. Meat carving is sometimes considered a skill for the private dinner table. TOOLS IN CARVING There are only few tools required for carving. A razon-sharped knife and a fork are needed. The first platter should be large enough to hold the roast as well as the

carved meat and the second platter for the slicers.

TECHNIQUES IN CARVING

1. Select an appropriate meat cut. Choose larger cuts of meat such as roasts since they are firmer, easier to carve, and loose fewer juices when cut. Meat which has had some or all of the bones removed will generally be easier to carve.


2. Cook to appropriate doneness. Beef roasts which are medium-rare or medium are easier to carve than those which are well done. (See temperature table in Cooking and Preparation)

3. Let rare roasts "set" for about ten minutes before carving. This will allow the roast to become a little more firm and it will lose fewer meat juices when carved.

4. Remove strings, skewers, etc. in the kitchen. However if you are carving a stuffed roast or a rolled piece of meat which may fall apart when carving, leave one or two of the strings tied around the roast while carving.

5. Allow elbow room at table for the carver. 6. Be comfortable - stand or sit. You may find carving easier while standing

as you will be able to apply greater pressure to the carving knife. Carving

1. Anchor meat with a fork while carving. Try to avoid puncturing the roast too many times as some of the meat juices will escape with each puncture.

2. Carve on a large plastic or wood carving board. If possible carve on a board with a "well" or a "lip" to catch the meat juices

3. Carve with a thin bladed, sharp knife. 4. Carve uniform, attractive slices perpendicular to the grain of the

meat. Carving perpendicular to the meat grain may not be possible when carving poultry. In general, meat slices should be 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.

5. Finish carving then serve meat on hot plates.

LESSON 4

STORING MEAT

INTRODUCTION

The lesson deals with the proper storage and thawing of meat.


1. Fresh and plastic vacuum-packed meat are stored correctly according to health regulations.

2. Fresh meats are aged and stored properly to maximize and maintain quality.

3. Frozen meats are thawed in accordance with enterprise procedures.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

perishable food that gets easily spoiled or decayed freeze to preserve meat by refrigeration below freezing point frozen subject to long and serve cold, chilly or cold manner thaw to become liquid or soft due to the temperature rising

above freezing point



Fresh meat spoils quickly so it must be stored immediately. If the meat is going to be used within a few days (2-4days) it must be kept in the chiller section of the refrigerator. If you intend to keep it longer, store in the freezer. Principles and Practices of Storing, Freezing and Aging of Meat. Because meat is a highly perishable food item, extra care and attention are needed to ensure that a high quality, wholesome product is served. Unwholesome and spoiled meat are caused by bacteria and other microorganisms. This contamination generally occurs during cutting and processing. These bacteria require three conditions for growth.

1. Low acidity (near neutral pH) level within the meat. 2. Inadequate supply of water or other moisture, such as meat juices; 3. A warm temperature generally between 45 degrees and 127 F. To prevent spoilage and the possibility of food borne illness, precautionary measures must be taken to control these three factors. The safety measures to be followed vary depending on the form or type of meat product. Fresh Meat. Keep fresh meat refrigerated at temperature of 38 degrees to 40F for as much time possible. It is best to select fresh meat items last when shopping.

Store fresh meat in the coldest part of the refrigerator.

Use a thermometer to locate the best spot.

Leave the meat in its original wrapping if it is to be used within two days.

For a longer storage, rewrap the meat. Cooked Meat. Cool cooked meat as rapidly as possible to minimize the time spent in the warm temperature range which is optimum for bacterial growth. This can be done by:

Providing plenty of air circulation around the meat.

Placing the meat in a pot, or boiling and immersing it in cold water.

All cooked meat should be used within a week of the initial preparation, or properly wrapped and frozen for later use.

Cured Meat. Cured, smoked, and ready to eat meats include ham, bacon, smoked pork and sausage products. The heating, smoking and processing of these items inactivate most bacteria and enzymes. Leave these products in their original wrapping to prevent further contamination. Do not freeze luncheon meat. Canned Meat. Canned meats come in two varieties- those that require refrigeration, such as hams, and those that do not, such as chili con carne, corned beef and dried meats. The best rule to follow for storage is to read the can label carefully and follow instructions. Most canned meat that do not require refrigeration have relatively long shelf life. Canned meat should never be frozen.


Frozen Meat. Meat can be stored for longer periods of time frozen at -10of or below. After the meat is frozen, maintain the temperature at 0oF or lower. Most chest type and side by side freezers are able to maintain this temperature while most ice compartments in refrigerators do not. Therefore, it is not recommended to store meat in the ice compartments.

Limit freezer storage time on all meats to maintain their optimum quality and freshness. Freezing meat will not improve its quality, but it will retain its natural color, flavor, texture and nutritional value. How to Freeze Meat The first step in successful freezing is choosing a high quality product. Freezer storage will not improve the quality of meats so it is advisable to choose cuts that are

brightly colored, well-marbled and fresh. Before wrapping, trim away excess fat and bone to make a smaller package that is less likely to tear. Select a wrapping material that is air and moisture proof, such as a freezer type paper, aluminum foil, and plastic wrap or airtight casserole dishes. Wrap only the amount needed per meal to help cut down leftovers. Place wax paper between chops, steaks and patties so they can be separated while still frozen. Use an air and moisture proof wrapping material, such as freezer paper, aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Wrapping instructions

1. Place meat in the center of wrapping material. With several cuts, place an interleaf of waxed paper between cuts for easier separation. Large cuts may need to be divided for easier thawing and preparation.

2. Bring the edges of the wrap together and fold at least

twice.

3. Smooth the wrapping material against the meat to

force air out. Smooth the ends of the wrap and fold them into triangles. Ends may be double folded toward the package to seal out air.


4. Fold the ends under the package and seal with

freezer tape. Label each package with the name of the cut, date and numbers of servings or weight.

The last but most important step is to label all packages with the contents,

weight and/or number of serving and date. This will help in the use of a First-in, first-out system. Maximum Storage Recommendations for Fresh, Cooked and Processed Meats.

Thawing Frozen Meat Thaw frozen meat slowly in the refrigerator, allowing approximately 3 to 7

hours per pound depending on the size and thickness of the cut. Frozen meats need not to be thawed before preparation, but cooking time will increase it by 15 to 20 minutes per pound. Aging Meat Aging. Aging of meats, particularly beef is a time-honored practice improving palatability in temperate countries. This practice improves the tenderness and flavor of meat. There are two general methods of aging: dry and wet
