Say good bye to WOP and say hello to the kitchen

Today i officially started in the kitchen, in doing so i had to start off by cleaning and disinfecting the whole kitchen from top to bottom, as well as cleaning and reorganizing the cutlery in the kitchen. I learned a variety of new things from the different types of cutlery, there names and what they are used for. I also learned that bacteria can basically grow any where and if you don't clean properly your kitchen will look dirty and be unhygienic!

Today i used three different types of cleaning equipment such as:

Sanitizer- this is used mainly to sanitize your hands but it may be used to sanitize basically any thing!!

Oven and grill- This sanitizer is very powerful is can remove and clean any oven, it is important to use gloves when handling this product because it will eat away the flesh of your hands!!
Multipurpose- This is a multipurpose cleaner which can be used to clean anything and every thing from roof to floor, cutlery. ect

So until the 25th February i will do cleaning of the kitchen then hopefully  i will start the actual cooking.

So for now good bye!!

The last three weeks at Sondela

In the last three weeks at Sondela Academy i have learned a variety of new and exciting things! Such as my level 1 first aid course and as well as my basic fire fighting training. I have also learned how to communicate better in front of people. I have improved on team building, and business ethics.

The weekend of the 11-13 Feb i worked in the kitchen for the first time and i learned a variety of ways to make perfect food. I made pancakes on Friday, Saturday i made Balotine which is deboned chicken legs that is stuffed with basically anything, what i used as mince meat, bacon, dried nuts and dried apple. Later that day i cut up fillet steak. On Sunday i made roast chicken, spiced Sirloin and stuffed more Balotine.
