Reflection (Rishi)

Through this, i learned good hygiene and cleanliness practices and most importantly, understood the importance of them. In the kitchen, always clean as you go. If you don't then it will consume time as you need to clean everything and you do not have the time to do it. Cleaning your work station prevents the presence of pests which might bring in viruses and bacterium leading to food borne illnesses. Therefore, i agree with Hui Huang's comment. ( I agree with what rishi had said.Cleaning the ktichen floor help to prevent contamination,keeping the kitchen clean and most importantly to ensure safety in the kitchen).


Not only the environment, as a chef, it is important to keep yourself clean. Cutting finger nails is a must when you are working in the kitchen. We may not know what is trapped under our nails as we cannot see it. Therefore washing / rinsing your hands for 10-15 seconds with soap will prevent this. Therefore i agree with Hui Huang's comment. ( It is important to have short and clean nails.Sometimes,dirt might trap in the nails and we may not see the dirt.once we touch the food with our bare hands,we are directly inviting bacteria into the food which will cause foodborne illness.)
