Completing your reflective journal
You are expected to complete a reflective journal for each time that you cook as
part of your assessment for this unit (print as many copies as you need). Try to
think about the highlights of each service when you are writing your reflection.
You might also find the following questions useful:
 What skills and techniques did I use?
 What policies and procedures did I follow?
 How did I ensure efficiency, safety and quality?
 How did I ensure that my dishes met quality standards?
 What did I learn during the service and how might I apply it in future?
 What might I do different next time?
Supervisor declaration
Your workplace supervisor’s feedback forms an important part of the assessment
process and it is essential you have your supervisor complete their section of
each of your reflective journals and fill in the supervisor declaration after the
summary section. Keep in mind that, if you are completing your assessment in
your RTO’s training kitchen, your trainer will be your workplace supervisor and
should endorse your journal. Without their endorsement, your Logbook will be
incomplete and it is likely to be returned to you for resubmission.
Logbook summary
There are a number of requirements you must fulfil within your assessment
process, so a Logbook Summary has been provided. Make sure you keep this
section up to date – it will help you keep track of any outstanding requirements.

 Select the cookery method that you will use. Explain your decision.

- I take advantage of fan fry method for the chook schnitzel. reduce the chook breast. dip into the
egg yolk and observe bread crumb. Fry lightly until it turns brown.

 Select the cooking times and temperatures that you will use. Explain your decision.

- Preheat oven to 425 levels F (220 levels C). Line a big baking sheet with aluminium foil and drizzle
olive oil over foil. vicinity baking sheet in preheated oven. It should prepare dinner for 35 t0 40
minutes.

 Select the marinades and accompaniments which you will add to your dish. Explain your decision – how do the
accompaniments complement your dish?

- Schnitzel is normally eaten with potatoes or rice and a facet salad. you can additionally serve it
with pasta or pizza. A famous dish all through Israel, chook schnitzel is a simple, finances-friendly
dish to put together. it's far frequently served with French fries; however, I favour to serve it with a
clean salad to cut down on calories.

 Select the select the sauces and garnishes which you will add to your dish. Explain your decision – how do the
sauces and garnishes complement your dish?

- Lemon sauce, gravy or mayonnaise may be use as sauce to your dish. Lemon wedge or finely

Reflection (Highlights, skills and poultry preparation techniques shown, cookery methods demonstrated, policies and procedures followed, how did I ensure efficiency, safety
and quality, how did I respond to special dietary requirements or customer requirements, what did I learn, what would I do differently in future?)

- I learn how to use the knife and there is different to hold the knife. I learned how to do blanching and also learn basic cutting skills technique which was pretty much
fruitful to me. I will use these skill and technique in kitchen, and I believe that it will helps in my future career.
