Making veggie dip and dippers
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can make a veggie dip and dippers.
Key learning points
- Crudités, the dippers, comes from the French word meaning 'rawness'.
- Before preparing and cooking food, we should tie back long hair, put on an apron and wash hands.
- When cutting food with a knife safely, we should use the Bridge Hold and the Claw Grip.
- The food skills used to make veggie dips and dippers are measuring, mixing, peeling and cutting.
Keywords
Bridge hold - a safe way to cut food in half or quarters
Claw grip - a safe way to slice food
Dip - a cold, thick sauce
Common misconception
You do not need to get ready to cook every time you prepare and cook food.
We should always get ready to cook, so that we are hygienic (clean).
Teacher tip
Get pupils to work in pairs when using the vegetable knife. One pupil can cut, while the other watches providing feedback on how safely and accurately they are working. They can then change roles, helping each other cut safely.
Equipment
For ingredients and equipment see the recipe in additional materials.
