🍝Food Technology Reflection🍝

IALT: reflect, and explain on what happened at Food Technology!

Today at Technology it was weird, and different for everyone! The first thing Mrs Tuipulotu did was separate the two Year 7 students & Year 8 students. Both different year levels were making 2 different things. The year 8 students, which was the group I was in were making Mini Quench just like last week, but instead we were making our own pastry! We had to taste it, and see what the difference was! The year 7 students were making Pasta Salad! If you were in the year 8 group you had to find yourself a year 8 buddy, just like the year 7's! My usual buddy was Demetrius, but because he was year 7 students, I had to buddy up with Curty's. I felt excited at first because, making this with a buddy that I have never worked with, gave me the ability to develop new and different things from one another! Which is kind of the same as showing our school value AKO!

 

Here is the ingredients we used in order to create Mini Quench with our own pastry! 

METHOD:

• 130g plain flour
• Pinch of salt
• 60g butter, diced
• 2-3 tablespoon water
• 3 eggs
• 150mL cream
• 1⁄2 onion, diced finely
• 100g grated cheese
• 2 rashers of bacon, cooked

Now that you have viewed, and read about the ingredients you can now, read the step by step process/cycle, of using the method!

METHOD:

1. Rub the butter into the salt and flour mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs.
2. Using a flat bladed knife, form into a ball of pastry with the water.
3. Cover in cling film and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
4. Prepare the egg custard mixture by whisking eggs and cream together.
5. Prepare the ingredients for the filling.
6. Grease a quiche flan tin.
7. Roll out the pastry and ease into the quiche pan.
8. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
9. Line base with baking paper and fill with baking beans.
10. Blind bake for 10 minutes.
11. Place onions on pastry, then grated cheese, top with bacon and other ingredients.
12. Gently pour the egg custard mixture over the filling.

Bake for 40 minutes or until golden and quiche is set.

The equipment we used in order to successfully create this were...

• Whisk
• 3 Bowls
• Rolling Pin
• Chopping Board
• Knife
• Baking Tin

Something I found challenging, and hard was being buddies with another person! Mainly because I am use to pairing up, and working with Demetrius, but I'm always open for new things, and new opportunities. 

I enjoyed seeing how Curty's works, and also developing a new set and different set of cooking skills to use, in the kitchen next time!
