Review Key Concepts
1. A boning knife is used to remove bones from meat, fish, and poultry, and to trim fat from meat.
2. Dice, julienne, batonnet, and brunoise. To dice, a chef's knife is used to cut food into √8 − 5/8 inch cubes. Julienne cuts are √8 -inch thick matchstick-shaped cuts. Batonnet cuts are √4 -inch matchstick-shaped cuts. Batonnet and julienne cuts are done prior to dicing. Brunoise cuts are √8 -inch thick cubes.
3.
To safely store knives, the storage medium must hold knives in place
and keep blades protected. Three common types of knife storage are
slotted knife holders, knife kits, and custom drawers. Slotted knife
holders should be hung on a wall.

4. Science
The cinnamon coating should transfer to the knife and then to the clean
piece of cheese. This is a visual representation of
cross-contamination. This activity should reinforce the importance of
keeping knives sanitary.
5. Mathematics The stack is 2 √4 inches tall. A medium dice will create a cube that is 3/8 inches on each side. Therefore, a stack of six of these cubes will equal 6/1 × 3/8 = 18/8 = 9/4 = 2 √4 inches.
Section 10.2
Review Key Concepts
1.
Kitchen tools for a professional kitchen must be well constructed,
comfortable to hold, and safe. Ideally, the tools will be certified by
NSF International.
2. Aluminum cookware is
lightweight, inexpensive, and rust-free. Aluminum is fairly heat
efficient. Stainless steel is also virtually rust-free, but is a poor
and uneven heat conductor.

3. English Language Arts
Choose foods available in the food labs for demonstration.
Demonstrations should be clear and easy to follow for the audience. Show
and describe the use of the object as well as present any important
cleaning, storage, and safety tips for the items your audience will use.
4. Social Studies
Explain the program you have chosen and connect it to the foodservice
industry. For example, NSF International offers safety audits to produce
vendors.
5. Mathematics 6/1 ÷ 3/16, which is 6/1 × 16/3 = 96/3, which reduces to 32. You will get 32 slices.
