During our first lab Michael and I had a tough time communicating with each other, we didn’t know our jobs, which ingredients the unit and ingredient person was suppose to take, and we kept bumping into each other while we washed and dried dishes. Luckily we knew each other from middle school and we had a small lead. To overcome this problem we just did more labs together and talked with each other when we sat down to eat together. Also there are many hazardous objects in the kitchen such as sharp knives to scorching oil, and communication can prevent the risks and keeps the kitchen running smoothly. One way to communicate is by being vocal and active listener.
