Year 9 - Home economics

Health & Safety
-------------------------------------------------------------
What is the difference to Hygiene and Personal safety?
- Hygiene is about keeping your food, equipment, and yourself clean
- Personal safety is about making sure your food is safe to eat, your holding knives correctly, etc.

How would you have demonstrated these two so far?
- Tying up your hair
- Washing your hands
- Wiping down your table
- Right temperature for food e.g chicken
- Use right chopping boards and knives, so you don't contaminate food
When we use chicken what are some key things you need to remember to ensure your food is safe to eat?
- Your temperature for your chicken is at 75 degrees
- Your chicken is white when cooked
-  You use the right copping board and knife. ( the yellow board and knife )

Bacteria
-------------------------------------------------------------
What is bacteria?
Bacteria is a single cell organism, that feeds off dirt warmth, etc.

What do bacteria need to survive?
- Food
- Warmth
- Neutral Ph levels
- Water
- Oxygen
- Time
- Temperature

Give 3 examples of how we avoid spreading bacteria?
- Keep your hands clean, wash your hands after you use toilet, before you cook, or when you sneeze or cough, etc.
- Avoid contact with other people
- Avoid touching your face, hair or body.



 At - 18 = freezer
 At 0 = freezing point
 At 2 - 4 = fridge
 At 37 = Optimal bacteria growth
 At 4 - 60 = Danger zone
 At 75 = middle of chicken
 At 80 = Reheating
 At 100 = boiling

It is very important to know these points, because it can tell you when bacteria is at it's dangerous zone, when its frozen, and when it doubling itself. bacteria is bad for us, as it can make you sick, so knowing when its gone or when the food is cooked, you wont get sick, and you will know these temperatures by this thermometer.
