5 Introduction to kitchen equipment Learning outcomes On completion of this unit you will: 1. Be able to use large and small items of equipment and utensils 2. Be able to use knives and cutting equipment Evidence requirements 1. Environment Evidence for this unit may be gathered within the workplace or realistic working environment (RWE). 2. Simulation Simulation may be used in this unit, where no naturally occurring evidence is available. 4. Knowledge outcomes There must be evidence that you possess all the knowledge and understanding listed in the Knowledge section of this unit. In most cases this can be done by professional discussion and/or oral questioning. Other methods, such as projects, assignments and/or reflective accounts may also be used. 5. Tutor/Assessor guidance You will be guided by your tutor/assessor on how to achieve learning outcomes in this unit. All outcomes must be achieved. 6. External paper There is no external paper requirement for this unit. 3. Observation outcomes Competent performance of Observation outcomes must be demonstrated on at least two occasions. Assessor observations, witness testimonies and products of work are likely to be the most appropriate sources of performance evidence. Professional discussion may be used as supplementary evidence for those criteria that do not naturally occur. Assessed observations should not be carried out on the same day for the same learning outcome. There should be sufficient time between assessments for reflection and personal development. You need to meet the same standard on a regular and consistent basis. Separating the assessments by a period of at least two weeks is recommended as competence must be demonstrated on a consistent and regular basis. UV

6 Achieving observations and range Achieving observation outcomes Your assessor will observe your performance of practical tasks. The minimum number of competent observations required is indicated in the Evidence requirements section of this unit. Achieving range There is no range section that applies to this unit. Criteria may not always naturally occur during a practical observation. In such instances you will be asked questions to demonstrate your competence in this area. Your assessor will document the criteria that have been achieved through professional discussion and/or oral questioning. This evidence will be recorded by your assessor in written form or by other appropriate means. Your assessor will sign off a learning outcome when all criteria have been competently achieved. 4 UV11066

7 Observations Learning outcome 1 Be able to use large and small items of equipment and utensils You can: a. Demonstrate the correct selection of equipment and utensils for use b. Demonstrate the correct procedures when using, cleaning and maintaining equipment and utensils c. Demonstrate safe and hygienic storage of equipment and utensils *May be assessed by supplementary evidence.

8 Learning outcome 2 Be able to use knives and cutting equipment You can: a. Select appropriate knife or cutting equipment for use b. Demonstrate correct and safe sharpening technique c. Demonstrate correct and safe use of knives and cutting equipment for a variety of tasks d. Demonstrate maintenance and care of knives and cutting equipment e. Demonstrate correct and safe storage of knives and cutting equipment *May be assessed by supplementary evidence. Observation 1 2 Optional Optional Criteria questioned orally Date achieved Portfolio reference Learner signature Assessor initials 6 UV11066

9 Developing knowledge Achieving knowledge outcomes You will be guided by your tutor and assessor on the evidence that needs to be produced. Your knowledge and understanding will be assessed using the assessment methods listed below*: Projects Observed work Witness statements Audio-visual media Evidence of prior learning or attainment Written questions Oral questions Assignments Case studies Professional discussion Where applicable your assessor will integrate knowledge outcomes into practical observations through professional discussion and/or oral questioning. When a criterion has been orally questioned and achieved, your assessor will record this evidence in written form or by other appropriate means. There is no need for you to produce additional evidence as this criterion has already been achieved. Some knowledge and understanding outcomes may require you to show that you know and understand how to do something. If you have practical evidence from your own work that meets knowledge criteria, then there is no requirement for you to be questioned again on the same topic. *This is not an exhaustive list. UV
