Student-Friendly Version Learning Intention We are learning how chefs prepare ingredients using mise en place and proper knife skills. Success Criteria I can: • use a knife safely • practice slicing, dicing, and chopping • organize my ingredients before cooking • explain why preparation is important in a kitchen

This learning resource focuses on developing essential knife skills and the concept of mise en place for cooking. Students will learn the proper grip for handling knives, including the pinch grip for enhanced control and the claw technique for safety. The document also covers basic cut techniques, including slicing, dicing, and chopping, allowing students to practice these motions collectively. Additionally, students will set up their mise en place stations to ensure their workspace is organized and efficient, covering aspects such as sanitation, knife readiness, ingredient organization, and waste management. Finally, reflection prompts encourage students to think about the importance of having everything in its place for safer and more efficient cooking.
