Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Crudités, the dippers, comes from the French word meaning 'rawness'.
  2. Before preparing and cooking food, we should tie back long hair, put on an apron and wash hands.
  3. When cutting food with a knife safely, we should use the Bridge Hold and the Claw Grip.
  4. The food skills used to make veggie dips and dippers are measuring, mixing, peeling and cutting.

Keywords

  • Bridge hold - a safe way to cut food in half or quarters

  • Claw grip - a safe way to slice food

  • Dip - a cold, thick sauce

Common misconception

You do not need to get ready to cook every time you prepare and cook food.

We should always get ready to cook, so that we are hygienic (clean).
