For you to be assessed as competent, you must successfully complete three assessment tasks:
 Assessment Task 1: Knowledge questions – You must answer all questions correctly.
 Assessment Task 2: Research report – You must research and report on stocks, sauces and
soups.
 Assessment Task 3: Student Logbook – You must complete a range of food preparation tasks
using basic cookery methods and complete a Student Logbook. The assessor must also
observe you while you complete a range of cooking tasks.
Preparing for assessment

Questions
1. List at least three food safety issues which you must consider when preparing stocks, sauces
and soups. Describe how you would reduce each risk.
Risk Strategy for reducing risk
Chemical contamination Cleaning should be done before and after

operations rather than in the middle of cooking
to prevent chemical contamination.
Misuse of food flavors It is not recommended to use more food

additives than is necessary preparing the food.
All additives should be measured before use
the food.
Mislabelling All packaged stocks, sauces, and soups must

have labels with dates of preparation and
instructions for how long they should be kept
out of the refrigerator or freezer.
2. Describe three indicators you would use to select fresh, quality ingredients for use in stocks,
sauces and soups.
 Never use expired or substitute ingredients.
 Always choose unblemished vegetables and those with their original fragrances.
 Always utilize the best quality bones and flesh when building stocks.
3. List three signs that ingredients used for stocks, sauces and soups have spoiled or are
contaminated.
 Taste
 Smell
 Colour
4. List at least three requirements for the safe storage of stocks, sauces and sauces. At least one
of your answers for each must include the correct temperature range.
Stocks Stocks can be stored for six to seven months in a freezer at a temperature

8
INSTITUTE
of -18 to -24 degrees Celsius, or for at least a week in a cold room with a
temperature of 2 to 4 degrees Celsius.
Sauces Sauces should be put in vacuum-sealed bags or containers before storing.

Once air tightly sealed, it can be kept in a freezer or a cold room.
Soups Soups can be stored for six to seven months in the freezer at a temperature
of -18 to -24 degrees Celsius, or for a week at a cold ambient temperature
of 2 to 4 degrees Celsius.
5. Describe three safety techniques when using knives in the kitchen.
 The safety techniques are:

To avoid rust and enhance its performance, keep your knife sharp and dry at all
times.
 Never leave the knife on the sink after using it; always clean it straight afterwards.
 Always choose the right knife for the job and the right meal.
6. When cooking stocks, sauces and soups, you will use a variety of equipment and utensils. Fill
out the table below, identifying three things you should check before using each piece of
equipment.
Utility knife  Make sure it is neat and well-cut.
 Employ the right tools, including the right knife
 Employ the right tools, including the right knife
Food processor  The processor should be clean, but a quick wash is

preferred.

9
INSTITUTE
 Check to see if the plugs and wires are in good shape.
 Make sure the blades are firmly attached.
7. Describe four mise en place tasks related to preparing stocks, sauces and soups that you can
complete without affecting the quality of the dish.
 Prepare the mirepoix.
 After being cleaned, cut the bones to the appropriate length.
 If required, take the fish's gills out.
 Collect and arrange all of the necessary cooking tools, and make sure they are clean
and sanitized.
 Chop the vegetables into portions that are suitable for stocks and soups.
 Collect, wash, sterilize with chemicals designed for sanitizing vegetables, rinse, and
put in container for later use.
 Cut up your vegetables, then sauté them.
8. Define the following culinary terms in your own words.
 Mirepoix: A mixture of aromatics made from finely chopped vegetables, mirepoix is used
to sweeten foods rather than caramel them (the combination of vegetables will frequently
vary by country and culture). Given that they are cooked slowly, these tasty vegetables
frequently serve as the base of numerous cuisines.
 Consommé: a clear, flavorful liquid broth used as the foundation for a sauce or soup that
is made by clarifying animal stock (typically beef, veal, or fowl, but often fish). Egg whites
are used to clarify the beef stock and any extra components, such as vegetables and/or
herbs. The mixture is stirred while it comes to a rolling boil.
 Court bouillon: Other foods, usually fish or seafood, are poached in a quick-cooking broth
known as court-bouillon or court bouillon, which is pronounced coo-bee-yon in Louisiana.
It can also occasionally be used to poach eggs, sweetbreads, vegetables, and delicate
meats. There is no animal gelatine, only salt and flavouring.

10
INSTITUTE
 Coating: The technique of putting a layer of liquids or solids on a product is known as
coating in the food industry.
 Pouring: liquid transfer between containers.
 Mother sauces: All of these sauces combined are referred to in French as "Grandes
sauces" or "sayces meres." White is Bechamel sauce, blonde is veloute, brown is
Espagnole, buttery is hollandaise, and red is tomato sauce. Each sauce has a unique
characteristic.
 Reduction: When a liquid is reduced, its flavor is improved, its consistency is thickened,
and its volume is decreased by simmering it until some of the water has evaporated.
 Roux: A roux, which is created by mixing and heating flour and fat, is the foundation of
many sauces.
 Fond: Fond is the stuff that, after cooking meat or vegetables on the stovetop, adheres to
your skillet or that gathers at the bottom of a roasting pan after food has been baked.
 Bouquet garni: A bunch of fresh herbs known as a bouquet garni, or "garnished bouquet"
in French, is used to flavour sauces and braises. Once the aroma of the aromatics has
faded, you can quickly remove the bouquet.
9. Identify at least three convenience products you could use when preparing stocks, sauces and
soups.
 Noodles
 Pasta
 Convenience stock
10. Identify at least three trade names of convenience stocks, sauces and soups.
 Maggie
 Peri Peri
 Tabasco
11. Identify at least three products you can use as thickening agents with sauces and soups.
 Corn Starch

11
INSTITUTE
 Thickened Cream
 Eggs
 Roux
12. In your training kitchen or workplace, locate at least two stocks, two sauces and two soups.
Aim for a mixture of convenience products, and frozen and chilled products. Take a photo of
the labels on each product that identify best-before and use-by dates and rotation. For each
one, identify the disposal date. Submit the photos as part of your assessment.
