Experience Cooking Essay

Who would want to spend 6 hours in a hot greasy kitchen? I did. My job is to cook food at hutch’s café. I cooked food all summer and winter long. I have greasy clothes to prove it. Cooking at hutchs is a fun experience and a good responsibility to learn. To begin getting prepared you need to do the following:

First, in the morning when you first come in you have to have the breakfast ready to serve at 9:00.

When I get the mashed potatoes and gravy ready, I just combine the potato mix with water and stir them up until they are nice. The gravy is the same way. Now I am ready to serve lunch.

Lastly, at 1:45 I take all the specials down and clean the grill. I have to get all the pans washed and cleaned on time for the next employees to come in. They also have to cook specials and get all the meat products out and ready.   Then after everything is cleaned up I just wait for the other workers to come in at 2:00.
