Part 2
● Identify the quality requirements for the selection of ingredients.
The quality requirement for butter is that it must be unsalted and melted. Also, the
sugar which is going to be used must be in granulated form and brown sugar must be
kept packed to avoid any external moisture which might create lumps in it. Try to take
fresh milk and flour as these are the key ingredients of the dish and sometimes, they
are required to be kept for a long time.
● Any safety and hygiene requirements for the equipment to be used.
The parchment paper or baking sheet must be clean and fresh as the cookies will rest
on it inside the oven. Heat can take out chemicals out of the paper thus it must be
checked. Also, the oven and compartments of refrigerator must be clean.
● How the waste should be minimised during preparation and cooking.
In order to minimise or resist waste during preparation and cooking, only the
ingredients must be used according to the measured quantity. Furthermore, smaller
portions can be cooked to avoid excessive leftovers.
● Any problems that might arise during the cooking process and how to overcome them.
The ingredients might not be fresh or expired and equipment like refrigerator or oven
can fail on time due to power cut or any other technical problem. In order to
overcome these issues, always keep checking the ingredients in the store about their
freshness and expiry and also, don’t purchase the grocery in a very huge amount.
Moving further, keep backup for your equipment and try to have some technical
support.
● How teamwork can be used to ensure timely preparation.
Team members can play a simultaneous game of preparation due to which different
operations can be completed at a single time. Teamwork can help in preparing the
delicious dish as per their area of expertise in a desired time period.
● Presentation standards include service ware, garnishes and accompaniments.
Trays, cookie sheets, holders, etc. are the necessary service-wares for cookies.
Talking about the garnishes cracked nuts, sliced fruit and some extra chocolate can be
 4

used. Beverages such as milk, coffee or tea are the best accompaniments for chocolate
chip cookies.
● How the work area will need to be cleaned after preparation and cooking.
The proper use of chemical cleaners and sanitizers can be done to wipe out the germs
in the restaurant as customers continuously keep visiting the place. The service ware
used to serve food and the equipment as well must be cleaned after use.
● How to store or dispose of any surplus ingredients.
Storage system like packets and refrigerators can be used to keep any surplus
ingredient so that it can be used in future. Items which need to be disposed can be sent
to the standard area or process of decomposition so that no legal terms are harmed and
no pollution is spread.
