The lab of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies went quite well. A success was that we made cookies that tasted delicious, we worked well as a group and a team, and the dishwashing was easy. The cookies tasted delicious because we followed the recipe almost the the T. When it came to planning not much was needed but what was needed was planned. As we started we talked about what was going to happen who was going to do what and who was doing the dishes. A challenge was that we didn’t know where where the kitchen equipment was and if one person took something out the other might not where it goes. Other then that there was not that many challenges that we came across while cooking.

In the kitchen I think that the electric mixer or a bowl was the most useful. If a cookie sheet would count as a tool then I would say that but I don’t think it does. I say the electric mixer or a bowl was our most useful tool because the bowl was obviously for holding and mixing our ingredients. The electric mixer was useful for mixing the ingredients and it could be done by hand but it made it so much quicker and easier so I think it helped a lot. I could use the bowl for many different things like something to eat out or use them at a tracer for something like cookies and much more. The mixer could also be used for something like whipping egg whites, mixing ingredients, and a few other things. A fun fact about the electric hand mixer is that it was made on June 10th of 1922 by Kitchen-Aid. Unfortunately I do not have any photos of the cookies because we ate them so fast.

Safety and Sanitation

The lab went well because the outcome looked and tasted pretty good. We worked well as a group/team, we finished fast, and the dishwashing was very easy when we were working together cooperatively. The only challenge or place needed for improvent is maybe finding a way to make the scones less dry because me and my partner didnt like that.

There was not that many safety and/or sanitation concerns in this lab specifically. We made sure that everything was safe and clean. We did that by using oven mits when taking the scones of the oven. We also made that the dishes were clean for the next people that used them. Last (but most definitely not least) we washed our hands quite often so no germs contaminate our food. This is especially important because with COVID-19 going around and all other germs that can be harmful, we need to keep them away from our mouths’ and face to keep us for getting sick or disease.
