Production Chapter 8
Objectives of Production • Enhance the aesthetic appeal, color, texture, and flavor of food • Destroy harmful organisms • Maximize nutrient retention
Mise en Place • “Everything put in place” • Assembly of tools and ingredients • Weighing and measuring ingredients • Keep workplace clean and orderly • Knife skills • Preliminary cooking and flavoring • Marinating • Blanching and parcooking • Preparation for frying • Breading • Dredging
Principles of Basic Cooking • Appendix A • Summary of heat transfer and basic cooking methods • FFF Chapter 4 • Cooking methods and terms • FFF Glossary • Menu and cooking terms • Pronunciation of French culinary terms • http://library.sullivan.edu/CPI/culterms.htm#D
Recipe Standardization • The standardized recipe is the most important control tool in food production. • Tested and adapted to the requirements of a specific foodservice operation.
Recipe Standardization Advantages: • Improves consistency of flavor, texture, portion size, nutrient composition • Simplifies planning, purchasing, forecasting, recipe costing, and recipe pricing.
Recipe Standardization • Reduces effects of employee turnover • Simplifies training of new staff • Important if you have centralized ingredient assembly • Accuracy in weights and measures is essential
Recipe Development • Recipe format • Standard Form • Narrative Form • Block Form • Figure 8.1, pg. 258 • Computerized
Recipe Development • Essential Information: • Recipe Title • Yield and Portion Size (weight, # of pans) • Define serving utensil for portioning • Cooking Time and Temperature • Ingredients and Quantities • No more than three ingredient amount columns
Recipe Development Descriptive Terms: • Words before ingredient is AP • Canned tomatoes • Frozen chopped broccoli • Words after ingredient is EP • Onions, chopped • Margarine, melted • Designate AP or EP amount – Table 8.1 • Use consistent abbreviations – Table 8.2
Recipe Development • Procedures • Clear, concise • Across from ingredients • Uniform basic procedures • Timing for procedure using equipment • Weight measures per pans in bakery items
Recipe Development Additional Information: • Substitution of ingredients • Alternate methods of preparation • Comments about appearance • Variations • Tips on how to plate or garnish
Recipe Development • Size • 4 x 6 or 5 x 8 cards • 8 ½ x 11 heavy typing paper • 12 font or larger • Placed in plastic cover if used again • Computer systems – recipes are printed as needed
Recipe Development • Final step in standardizing a recipe is when it is tried and adapted to your facility • Recipe Evaluation • Yield – measure of total amount produced • Quality standards – appearance, color, flavor, texture, consistency, temperature
Forecasting • A prediction of food needs for a day or other specific period of time • Forecasting • Triggers purchasing and production • Vital for financial management • Provides efficient scheduling of labor and use of equipment and space
Forecasting • Accurate forecasting minimizes overproduction and underproduction • Consequences of overproduction • Consequences of underproduction
Forecasting • Uses Historical Data-p.271 • Restaurants • Schools • Hospitals • Vending Services • Knowledge of pattern variances
Forecasting • Types of Forecasting Models • Moving Averages-drops last number and adds next number • Exponential Smoothing-newer numbers hold more weight than older numbers • Regression and Autoregressive moving average-sophisticated statistical methods
Production Schedule • A detailed list of food items to be produced for the current day’s menu plus any advance preparation needed • Includes all phases of production • Preparation, production, holding, service, cleaning • Batch Cooking: fresh vegetables, rice, noodles, french fries
Production Schedules • Production sheets include: • Work to be done • Who is to do the task • Amounts to produce • Source recipe • Portion sizes • Target completion times
Production Scheduling • Production Meetings • Menu as served measures up to the menu as planned • Production Control/Ingredient Room • Increase production control • Improved security • Consistent quality control • Efficient use of equipment • Advantage of cooks skills
Production Scheduling • Production Control/Ingredient Room • Lack of flexibility • Cooks may feel restricted • May allow some adjustment of seasonings
Production Scheduling • Portion Control • Add scoop number to recipe • Numbering system for scoop size is based on the number of scoops per quart • Production Evaluation
