UTILIZED APPROPRIATE KITCHEN TOOLS, EQUIPMENT

AND PARAPHERNALIA
What I Need to Know
Kitchen equipment is a great help in maintaining the cleanliness or orderliness in the kitchen. Some of
this equipment could help the cook chop, slice, and neatly mince raw ingredients. Cooking equipment specially made for such,
and they are designed to be mess-free as well. Everyone has heard the saying; “the right tool for the right job,” and “you are only
as good as your tools.” These sayings are very true when it comes to the choice and use of cooking equipment. The quality of the
cooking equipment that you choose to use is as outstanding as the tools themselves when it comes to work and food quality. Given
that there is a wide variety of cooking equipment required for an even more extensive range of dishes, it’s essential to make sure
that you choose the right types and quality meet your kitchens needs.

After reading this module, the learners should be able to:

1. Utilize appropriate kitchen tools, equipment and paraphernalia
2. Identify types of tools, equipment and paraphernalia
3. Classify the type of appropriate cleaning tools and equipment based on their uses.

What I Know
Direction: Identify the word/s that best describes the following statements. Write your answer on a separate sheet
of paper.

1. It is the most popular, lightweight, attractive and less expensive materials of kitchen
utensils and equipment.
2. A more complicated tool that may refer to a small electrical appliance.
3. A kitchen tool which is specifically designed for pulping garlic for cooking.
4. It is used to grate, shred, slice and separate foods.
5. A must for all types of kitchen tasks, from peeling an onion and slicing carrots, to
carving a roast or turkey often referred to as cook's or chef's tools.
6. It is used to measure solids and dry ingredients.
7. These are used to measure smaller quantities of ingredients
8. A rubber or silicone tools to blend or scrape the food from the bowl

What’s New
Any cook should be familiar with the correct utensils, devices and equipment in the kitchen. It is important to consider
several things and not only the price when buying them. The job of cooking requires specific tools, utensils, and equipment for
proper and efficient preparation of food. Each piece has been designed to accomplish a specific job in the kitchen. The tools,
utensils and equipment are made of different materials, each having certain advantages and disadvantages. The following lists are
materials of kitchen utensils and equipment commonly found in the kitchen.

 Cooking Materials
USES/ FUNCTIONS PICTURES
1. Aluminum is the best for all-around use. It is the most popular, lightweight, attractive and less
expensive. It requires care to keep it shiny and clean. Much more, it gives even heat
distribution no matter what heat temperature you have. It is available in sheet or cast
aluminum. Since it is a soft metal, the lighter gauges will dent and scratch easily, making
the utensil unusable. Aluminum turns dark when used with alkalis, such as potatoes, beets,
carrots and other vegetables.

2. Stainless Steel is the most popular material used for tools and equipment, but is more
expensive. It is easier to clean and shine and will not wear out as soon as aluminum.
Choose those with copper, aluminum or laminated steel bottoms to spread heat and keep
the pot from getting heat dark spots. Stainless steel utensils
maybe bought in many gauges, from light to heavy.

3. Glass is good for baking but not practical on top or surface cooking. Great care is
needed to make sure for long shelf life.
4. Cast Iron is sturdy but must be kept seasoned to avoid rust. Salad oil with no salt or
shortening can be rub inside and out and dry. Wash with soap (not detergent)
before using.
5. Ceramic and heat-proof glass is used especially for baking dishes, casseroles, and measuring
cups. Glass and ceramic conduct the heat slowly and evenly. Many of these
baking dishes are decorated and can go from stove or oven to the dining table.
6.Teflon is a special coating applied to the inside of some aluminum or steel pots and pans. It
helps food from not sticking to the pan. It is easier to wash and clean, however, take care not to
scratch the Teflon coating with sharp instrument such as knife or fork.
Use wooden or plastic spatula to turn or mix food inside.
