Learning Objectives:
At the end of this module, you should be able to:
Organize and plan your work more
Efficiently understand basic flavoring techniques
Prepare items needed prior to actual cooking set up and use the
standard breading procedure
Assembling all of your ingredients ready to use before you begin cooking is known as mise
en place, which is pronounced either MEEZ AHN PLAHS OR MI ZÃ PLAS. In other words,
“to put in place.”
The term mise en place is a phrase that also references the discipline and organization that
a good chef practices in the kitchen. If you try this process, you might find that it also saves
you a lot of time while you are cooking. As you cook, slowly integrate the practice of mise en
place, with which you can potentially make one of the most stressful cooking situations a
breeze.
Time savings is one of the main advantages of employing mise en place in the
kitchen. Mise en place is a cooking, method that is perfect for anyone who enjoys
creating food in the kitchen, be it a baker, chef, or anyone else. With mise en place,
combining all of your ingredients for baking or cooking is simple and smooth. You may
save a ton of time and follow your recipe step-by-step with ease if you perform a little
prep work before you start cooking.
Instruction: Write true if the statement is correct and false if the statement is incorrect on
the space provided.
1. In addition, the broiler cook may have to set up a charcoal fire for the
grill, gather plates, and prepare his or her workspace by laying out towels, hand tools, and
sanitizer.
2. Each restaurant will have its own unique mise en place. The mise en
place of a banquet chef may involve arranging vast amounts of meats, vegetables, salad
fixings, breads, sauces, and pastries for multiple meals with various menus.
3. The literal translation of the French phrase mise en place (meez ahn
plahs) is “to put in place” or “everything is not in place”.
4. Managing several jobs at once is also crucial. Before starting the real
labor, an organized cook would consider all of the activities that need to be done and the best
manner to accomplish them.
5. A keen sense of time is also necessary for proper mise en place. A cook
can more effectively prepare for the efficient performance of their duties by knowing when
to start tasks or how far in advance of service certain preparations can be made.
6. A steak restaurant’s mise en place for the broiler station may involve
appropriately storing raw steaks and chops that will be cooked to order, along with
assembling the seasonings(salt, pepper, and premade sauces) and sides that are either
supplied alongside or used in the cooking process.
7. In order to provide a smoother service, a waiter’s mise en place may
involve tasks like making tea, slicing lemon wedges, and replenishing salt and pepper
shakers.
8. It’s crucial to take food safety concerns into account when planning,
especially those that have to do with temperature and timing restrictions.
9. Making garni bouquets and explaining toasting almonds, preparing bread
crumbs, frying butter, and battering food. Slicing dicing, and cutting are crucial methods, for
getting ready meals.
10. Before starting any activity, a well-organized cook will consider all of the
things that need to be done and the best approach to finish them.

Steps/Procedure:
1. Select appropriate PPE before doing the activity
2. Select a secure foundation on which to build and set your scaffold
Obtain mud sills or base plates to attach the scaffolding to make
the
footing more stable. One of the main concerns here is to have the
scaffolding level and on secure ground. If you are on un-level ground,
you need to dig down to make the dirt level in any high corner. Also,
use the adjusting screws on the scaffolding to level the structure. If the
surface is on a drastic slope, obtain leg extensions.
3. Opt for casters
4. Assemble the scaffolding frame
Lay out the ends of the scaffolding. Lift one end piece, and attach
the upper cross brace. The far end of this brace should support the end
piece while you lift the second end piece and attach its upper cross
brace. Secure the ends of the cross braces to the bottom of the
opposite end frame.
5. Make sure the scaffold is stable. Move the scaffold into your desired
position, and make sure it is level and secure.
6. Place the planks. Lift the planks through the scaffold bars and into
place. Hardware should be included to fasten the planks into place.
7. Secure access to the scaffold.
8. Attach the guardrails.
9. Inspect the scaffolding to ensure safety.
