Task 4: Prepared Fresh food products
1. Identify 3 pre-prepared fresh food products that you have used. Estimate how much time was saved during the preparation process by using this type of product.
1. Caesar salad kit
By using a pre-made caesar salad kit i didn't have to prepare the dressing, chop the cheese, cook the bacon or wash the salad leaves. By not having to do this, and instead just cut open the bag and poor the ingredients into a bowl i believe that i personally saved around 7 minutes of preparation time.
2. Salad Roll
With the purchase of a salad roll from our school canteen i believe i saved myself almost 10 or maybe even 13 minutes of time. I didn't have to butter the roll, cut the beetroot/carrot/cheese/tomato/onion or pile all the ingredients within the bun.
3. Egg and Lettuce Sandwich
At the Royal easter show i brought a pre made egg and lettuce sandwich. The only ingredients include was egg and lettuce on two slices of bred with butter. I think by buying a pre made sandwich i saved about 5 minutes of preparation time due to i didn't have to butter the bread or prepare and then cut the eggs.
