Introduction

Why are quality meals important?

Because.children’s.health.is.important!.Schools.have.a.special.role.in.enhancing.and.maintaining.children’s.health.since.roughly.one-quarter.of.a.young.person’s.time.is.spent.in.this.environment..School.meal.programs.can.help.foster.healthful.behaviors,.particularly.in.the.areas.of.nutrition.and.physical.fitness.

By.serving.wholesome.and.attractive.meals.at.school,.you.can.help.children.improve.their.attitudes.towards.education.and.health..You.can.also.help.them.have.healthier.lives...now.and.in.years.to.come.

To help you use the recipes from USDA, this guide:

provides.background.on.how.the.recipes.were.selected,.developed,.and.field-tested..takes.you.through.each.section.of.the.recipe.format,.explaining.how.the.information.is.organized..explains.and.demonstrates.the.uses..of.the.nutrient.analysis.provided.for..each.recipeincludes.instructions.on.substituting.ingredients.and.adjusting.recipes,.as..well.as.tips.for.maximizing.quality

Reimbursable.meals.for.the.National.School.Lunch.and.School.Breakfast.Programs.have.specific.requirements.based.on.the.type..of.menu.planning.approach.used..The.three.main.menu.planning.approaches.are.Traditional.Food-Based,.Enhanced..Food-Based,.and.Nutrient.Standard.Menu.Planning.

Food-Based Menu Planning

The.two.food-based.menu.planning.approaches.are.made.up.of.meal.patterns...Based.on.the.type.meal.being.served.(lunch,.breakfast,.or.afterschool.snack).a.school.meal.must.contain.a.specified.quantity.by.age/grade.group.for.each.of.the.food.components:

Reimbursable Meal Requirements

Nutrient Standard Menu Planning

Schools.using.Nutrient.Standard.Menu.Planning.must.conduct.nutrient.analyses.to.plan.school.meals..Instead.of.working.with.specific.food.components.in.specific.amounts,.the.menu.planner.analyzes.the.nutrient.contributions.from.menu.items.served.over.a.one.week.period..This.analysis.must.meet.the.nutrition.requirements.for.the.age/grade.group.served.

The.nutrient.values.per.serving.are.provided.for.each.recipe..For.more.information.on.any.of.the.menu.planning.approaches.see.A Menu Planner for Healthy School Meals.at.teamnutrition.usda.gov/Resources/menuplanner.html.or.Book.7.of.the.Code.of.Federal.Regulations.parts.210.and.220...These.regulations.may.be.viewed.online.at.www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/Governance/regulations.htm.

The.standardized.quantity.recipes.provided.for.you.in.this.packet.are.designed.to.help.you.serve.healthy,.attractive.breakfasts.and.lunches.that.will.appeal.to.your.student.customers..To.meet.the.needs.of.today’s.school.foodservice.programs,.recipes.must:

be.acceptable.to.studentsbe.economical.be.lower.in.fat.and.moderate.in.the.use..of.added.saltuse.a.minimum.number.of.ingredients.and.steps.for.preparationmake.maximum.use.of.USDA-donated.commoditiesaccommodate.regional.and.local.needs.and.preferences

By.using.these.recipes,.you.will.be.able.to.do.the.following:

�) Ensure product quality.

The.recipes.developed.for.this.project..were.designed.to.provide.quality.and..yield.consistency..

Taste.panels.of.adults.and.students.rated.products.for.texture,.taste,.aroma,.appearance,.and.overall.quality..

•••

What The Recipes Will Help You Do

�) Accurately predict the number of portions.

This.will.allow.you.to.simplify.purchasing,.reduce.the.amount.of.unnecessary..inventory,.and.eliminate.excessive..amounts.of.leftovers.

�) Adjust the flavoring of each recipe to meet the expectations of your students.

Many.of.the.recipes.provide.information.concerning.additional.ingredients.that.can.be.used.to.adjust.the.overall.flavor.of.a.recipe.to.more.closely.meet.regional.preferences..You.will.find.these.listed.on.individual.recipe.cards.under.optional.ingredients.or.in.a.section.called.“Special.Tips.”

4) Obtain maximum benefit from the use of USDA-donated foods.

Because.schools.often.use.USDA-donated.foods.in.preparing.meals,.many.of.the.recipes.were.developed.and.tested.using.available.USDA.commodities..This.will.help.ensure.that.the.final.product.of.any.recipe.produced.in.the.field.will.meet.the.same.high.standards.for quality and.quantity.intended.by.the.recipe.developers.

5) Understand the nutritional value of each recipe.

A.nutritional.analysis.has.been.provided.for.each.of.the.recipes..Many.of.these.new.or.reformulated.recipes.have.reduced.added.fat.and/or.sodium.and.some.have.increased.the.amount.of.dietary.fiber.

6) Evaluate the specific contribution of each recipe toward the reimbursable meal.

For.your.convenience,.the.food.contribution.toward.the.reimbursable.meal.for.each.portion.of.a.recipe.is.specified.on.the..recipe.format.

7) �ncrease employee confidence.

The.recipes.provide.clear,.concise.directions.that.cover.all.aspects.of.production..This.will.help.improve.employee.morale.by.reducing.the.confusion.associated.with.non-standardized.recipes.

First-rate.results.will.also.boost.morale...The.recipes.are.reliable.and.will.produce.consistent,.high-quality.meals..Employees.will.be.confident.and.proud.that.they.are.serving.the.best.quality.products.available.

Plenty! For one thing, the recipes reflect what is happening with nutrition today.

You.will.find.many.of.them.to.be.as.low.in.fat.as.possible,.without.losing.flavor.and.appeal..Many.include.lots.of.fruits,.vegetables,.and.grains,.and.they.will.help.you.add.variety.

A.menu.of.these.recipes.will.be.a.healthy.experience.for.children..You.will.be.giving.them.needed.nutrients.and.energy—.without.a.lot.of.added.fat..You.will.also.be.helping.them.learn.what.it.means.to.eat.for.good.health.

The recipes will help you “win kids over” with some exciting new flavors...and help you prepare some of their all-time favorites in healthier ways.

What Is Special About the Recipes?

A.palette.of.diverse.cultures.is.presented.here..You.will.find,.for.example,.Chicken..Stir.Fry.and.Teriyaki.Sauce.from.the.Orient.and.Tabouleh.from.the.Middle.East.

Adding.a.taste.of.Europe.are.such.recipes..as.French.Toast.Sticks.from.France,.Baked.Fish.Scandia.from.the.Netherlands,.Herbed.Broccoli.and.Cauliflower.Polonaise.from.Poland,.and.Minestrone,.Vegetable.Lasagna,.and.Chicken.Tetrazzini.from.Italy.

The.recipes.also.reflect.the.rich.diversity.of.the.United.States..Southwest.flavor.is.unmistakable.in.several..There.are.Chicken.Fajitas,.Marinated.Black.Bean.Salad,.Taco.Pie,.Vegetable.Chili,.and.Arroz.con.Queso.(Rice.with.Cheese),.to.name.a.few..The.popular.taste.of.New.Orleans.culture.is.found.in.the.Baked.Cajun.Fish.

The recipes have been carefully developed with both kids’ TASTES and their good HEALTH in mind.

To.support.the.ideal.of.lowered.fat,.many.of.the.recipes.call.for.reduced-fat.mozzarella.and.cheddar.cheeses.as.well.as.reduced-fat.mayonnaise,.lowfat.milk,.and.lowfat.yogurt..

Versions.of.lower-fat.Brownies.and.Chocolate.Cake.are.included,.using.applesauce.as.a.fat.substitute..The.taste.of.the.recipes.is.the.same.familiar.one;.just.the.fat.content.has.been.changed..

The.use.of.low-sodium.soup.stocks,.gravy.bases,.and.soy.sauce.help.to.reduce.the.sodium.level.in.the.recipes.

AND, the recipes have been designed with YOU—the food preparer—in mind.

We.hope.that.as.you.read.through,.and.use,.these.recipes.you.will.find.that.they.meet.your.needs..We.have.written.the.recipes.with.a.limited.number.of.steps,.bearing.in.mind.the.equipment.that.you.might.have.available..

The.items.you.serve.to.each.student.are.only.as.good.as.the.quality.of.ingredients.and.handling.put.into.each.recipe!...

To.ensure.first-rate.results:

Purchase the finest quality possible.

If.the.brand.of.lemon.gelatin.you.select.is.weakly.flavored.because.it.is.inexpensive,.you.will.not.have.a.strong.lemon.flavor.in.the.end.product..

If.the.brand.of.chicken.base.has.“salt”.listed.as.the.first.ingredient,.meaning.it.is.the.most.prevalent.ingredient,.your.Cream.of.Chicken.Soup.will.not.have.a.meaty.chicken.flavor.

Store and handle carefully.

If.the.broccoli.you.put.into.the.Broccoli.Salad.is.old,.dried,.and.wilted,.the.salad.will.not.be.crisp..And,.many.nutrients.will.be.lost.by.the.time.you.serve.it..

If.the.frozen.green.beans.in.the.Corn.and.Green.Bean.Casserole.have.been.improperly.handled.by.either.the.distributor.or.you.—.for.instance,.thawed.and.refrozen.—.your.end.product.will.not.be.the.best.possible..

Purchase.from.reliable.sources.and.check.your.storage.and.handling.procedures.to.assure.topnotch quality - quality - quality.

Check your cooking techniques.

If.your.cakes.and.brownies.are.overbaked.because.you.are.not.using.an.oven.thermometer.to.maintain.exact.oven.temperatures,.they.will.be.dried.out,.tough,.and.crumbly.

If.the.stir-fry.is.not.cooked.in.batches,..or.if.it.is.held.for.a.long.period.of.time,..the.vegetables.will.not.be.brightly.colored.and.crispy..They.will.be.limp.and.uninviting.

Batch-cooking.is.cooking.in.small..quantities.to.maintain.high.quality..throughout.the.serving.period..Each.preparation.should.not.exceed.what..can.be.served.on.the.line.in.15.minutes...This.means.there.will.be.continuous.cooking.throughout.the.meal..to.guarantee.quality..

First, note the order in which ingredients are listed:

Ingredients.are.listed.in.the.same.order.as.they.are.required.for.production..

Second, note the form in which ingredients are listed.

You.will.see.that.our.sample.recipe.specifies:Fresh carrots, peeled, 1/4” chopped.

This.tells.you.the.carrots.are.to.be.purchased.fresh,.peeled,.and.then.chopped.into.1/4”-thick.pieces.prior.to.being.used.in.the.recipe.

�U S D A R e c i p e s f o r S c h o o l s

On All of the Recipes:The.purchase.state.of.the.ingredient.(such.as.fresh,.frozen,.canned).appears.before.the.ingredient.name..And,.the.form.of.the.ingredient.(such.as.peeled,.sliced,.etc.).comes.after.the.ingredient.name...........

In.order.to.obtain.the.maximum.possible.quality.during.production,.it.is.very important.that.you.follow.the.recipe.exactly..The.purchase state.(fresh,.canned,.frozen,.etc.).of.your.ingredients.and.the form.(peeled,.sliced,.etc.).should.always.be.the.same.as.listed.in.the.recipe...

All of the recipes will be equally successful whether USDA-donated commodity foods or commercially available ingredients are used. However, where possible, the recipes have been developed and standardized using USDA commodity products.

When.you.are.purchasing.ingredients,.remember.to:

Select the best possible quality.

The.quality.of.the.final.product.will.rely.heavily.on.the.quality.of.ingredients.used.

Purchase products that will produce the “healthiest” overall product.

For.example,.our.sample.recipe.for.Chicken.Stir-Fry.(D-39).calls.for.chicken.stock,.non-MSG.(without.monosodium.glutamate)..When.purchasing.bases,.select.brands.that.do.not contain.MSG.and.have.a.moderate.level.of.sodium.(salt)..

Read.food.labels.carefully..Food.manufacturers.must.list.ingredients.in.descending.order.of.predominance.by.weight..So,.if.salt.is.the.first.ingredient.listed,.you.know.that.the.product.contains.more.salt.than.anything.else..

Alternate �ngredients:Alternate.ingredients.are.listed.in..many.of.the.recipes.to.give.you.flexibility..when.ordering..They.may.also.help..you.accommodate.limitations.in.labor..or.equipment.

This.example.shows.how.alternate.ingredients.appear.in.the.recipe.format..Several.lines.are.highlighted.

As.you.can.see,.alternate.ingredients.are.listed.on.separate.lines.separated.by.the.word.“OR.”..It.is.important.that.you.select.only.one.of.the.options.provided..Do.not.add.both.the.primary.and.the.alternate.ingredients.to.the.recipe..

�n the Chicken Stir-Fry (D-��) example:

You.may.choose.to.use.the.fresh.carrots,.chopped,.listed.in.the.ingredients..ORYou.may.choose.to.use.the.alternate,.frozen.sliced.carrots..

Also,.you.may.choose.to.use.the.fresh.broccoli,.chopped,.ORYou.may.choose.to.use.the.alternate,..frozen.mixed.Oriental.vegetables.

Optional �ngredients:Some.of.the.recipes.include.optional.ingredients..These.are.typically.used.for.seasoning.and.garnishing..If.an.ingredient.is.optional,.the.word.“(optional)”.will.immediately.follow.it.on.the.ingredient.list.

Optional.ingredients.may.be.used.to.increase.a.recipe’s.appeal.in.a.particular.area.or.region..While.certain.ingredients.may.be.preferred.by.students.in.some.regions.of.the.country,.they.may.not.appeal.to.others..

Optional.ingredients.may.also.be.used.to.change.the.meal.pattern.contribution..However,.it.is.important.to.note.that.optional.ingredients.are.not included.in.the.contribution.to.the.reimbursable.meal.or.the.Nutritional.Analysis.

Weight measurements are given for dry and solid ingredients.

The.weight.measurements.are.written.in.pounds.(lb).and.ounces.(oz)...Because.it.is.sometimes.necessary.to.use.volume.measure,.the.volume.equivalents.have.also.been.provided.for.the.dry.and.solid.ingredients.if.the.amount.is.2.ounces.or.more.

All.recipes.were.tested.using.weight.measurements.unless.only.a.volume.measurement.is.provided.

Volume measurements are given for liquid ingredients.

The volume measurements include:

teaspoons.(tsp)tablespoons.(Tbsp)cups(c).quarts.(qt)gallons.(gal).

•••••

Spices,.flavorings,.and.other.ingredients.of.less.than.2.ounces.are.given.a.volume.measurement.since.most.scales.are.not.able.to.measure.such.a.small.quantity.accurately.

A note about baking:

When.measuring.dry.ingredients.you.will.be.using.in.a.baked.product,.it.is.very.important.that.you.measure.the.ingredients.by.weight.whenever.possible..This.is.because.even.slight.variations.in.measurement.can.alter.the.quality.of.the.final.product.

Consider the following:

One.pound.of.unsifted.all-purpose.flour.can.range.from.2.1/2.cups.to.4.cups..One.pound.of.sifted.all-purpose.flour.can..range.from.3.cups.to.4.1/2.cups.

These.examples.make.it.easy.to.see..why.measuring.the.flour.for.a.baked..product.only.by.volume.can.result.in..an.inconsistent product.

To adjust the yield of a USDA standardized recipe, use the following method:

Step 1: Determine the total yield of the original recipe. Multiply.the.original.number.of.portions.by.the.original.portion.size.

.original.number.of.portions....... X. original.portion.size. =. original.yield

.

.desired.number.of.portions.. X. desired.portion.size...... =. total.new.yield

. .......... . .

Step 3: Determine the “multiplying factor.” Divide.the.total.new.yield.by.the.original.yield.

.. total.new.yield.. ÷. original.yield........ =. multiplying.factor.

Step 4: Determine the new quantity of each ingredient. Multiply.each.ingredient.by.the.multiplying.factor.

Using.the.following.conversion.charts.(Ounce.Chart,.Pound.and.Ounce.Chart,.and.Volume.Measures.Chart),.it.is.simple.to.adjust.ingredient.weight.and.volume.measures.in.recipes.for.the.number.of.servings.needed.

To Use the Conversion Charts for Changing the Numbers of Servings in a Quantity Recipe by Weight or Volume:

1..Determine.how.many.servings.are.needed..Use.the.conversion.charts.only.if.the.number.of.servings.needed.is.evenly.divisible.by.25.(e.g.,.50,.75,.100,.etc.)..Otherwise,.use.Recipe.Adjustment.–.Method.1.(Factor.Method).on.page.26.to.determine.amounts.needed.

2..Find.the.column.headed.“Base.100.servings”.and.move.down.the.column.to.the.weight.or.volume.listed.in.the.100-serving.recipe.

Recipe Adjustment – Method 2 (Conversion Charts)

3..On.the.same.horizontal.line,.move.to.the.appropriate.column.for.the.new.number..of.servings:

For new servings more than �00,.such.as.200,.300,.400,.etc.,.move.to.the.right...Write.this.number.down.

For new servings less than �00,.such.as..75,.50,.or.25,.move.to.the.left...Write.this.number.down.

For new servings greater than �00 that are not divisible by �00,.such.as.125,.250,.375,.etc.,.you.will.move.to.the.left.for.the.portion.less.than.100.and.then.move.to.the.right.for.the.hundreds.portion.and.add.both.figures.together.

Conversion Chart for Changing the Numberof Servings in a Quantity Recipe by Weight

Example:.A.100-serving.recipe.calls.for.4.ounces.of.a.particular.ingredient..325.servings.are.needed..On.the.Ounce.Chart,.find.the.column.headed.“Base.100.servings”.and.move.down.to.the.space.marked.“4.oz.”..Then,.move.horizontally.to.the.right.to.the.column.headed.“300.servings,”.which.shows.that.“12.oz”.is.the.quantity.needed.for.300.servings..Next,.move.across.to.the.left.on.the.same.horizontal.line.to.the.column.headed.“25.servings,”.which.shows.that.“1.oz”.is.the.quantity.needed.for.25.servings..

The.1.oz.plus.the.12.oz.=.13.oz,.which.is..the.amount.of.the.ingredient.needed.for..325.servings.

Using the nutrient analysis, you can see at a glance what an individual serving of each recipe provides in terms of the following �� nutrients:

Calories.ProteinCarbohydrateTotal.fatSaturated.fatCholesterolVitamin.A. . . . .Vitamin.CIronCalciumSodiumDietary.fiber

This information can help you plan balanced, nutritious meals. For example, if you decide to serve Chicken Stir-Fry (D-��):

You.may.wish.to.select.an.item.higher.in..iron.to.serve.as.a.second.choice.since..one.serving.of.the.Stir-Fry.contains.only..1.26.mg.of.iron..

And,.since.the.vitamin.A.content.of.the.Chicken.Stir-Fry.(D-39).is.high,.you.may.decide.to.offer.a.fruit.dish.that.is.high.in.vitamin.C.for.dessert.

The nutrient analysis was done by computer, using:

a.USDA.approved.nutrient.analysis.software.programthe.National.Nutrient.Data.Base.for.Child.Nutrition.Programs,.version.8the.Agricultural.Research.Service’s.Nutrient.Standard.Release.Database,.release.16

.........Here is some additional information on the nutrient analysis that may be helpful as you work with the recipes:

Each.recipe.was.analyzed.for.its.nutritive.value.using.primary ingredients only..Alternate.and.optional.ingredients.were.not.included...

The.type.and.quantity.of.each.primary.ingredient.was.entered.into.the.nutrient.analysis.software.program.based.on.the.market form.or.purchase.state.given.in.the.recipe.—.for.example,.fresh,.frozen,..or.canned...

Adjustments.for.yield,.nutrient.retention,.and.moisture/fat.changes.were.also.calculated.using.the.yield.factor.method..As.a.result,.the.final.nutrient.analysis.of.the.recipe.reflects.the.final.“cooked.or.prepared”.product.

To.illustrate.this.process,.let.us.look.at.some.of.the.steps.involved.in.doing.the.nutrient.analysis.using.yield.factor.method.for.the.Chicken.Stir-Fry.(D-39).recipe,.using.carrots.as.an.example..Yield.factor.method.uses.the.nutrient.profile.of.food.“as.consumed”.and.the.yield.from.the.Food Buying Guide.

The.quantity.of.“cooked.carrots”.was.entered.based.on.the.yield.of.cooked.carrots.from.the.amount.of.“fresh.carrots”.based.on.the.Food Buying Guide.

Finally,.for.some.recipes,.any.moisture.and/or.fat.loss.(or.gain).that.would.occur.during.cooking.was.entered.to.calculate.the.final.recipe.weight.and.nutrient.analysis.

Fat.can.be.reduced.in.many.recipes.without.losing.flavor..

As you work with these recipes, you will find that many have reduced levels of fat compared to the traditional version of the recipe. This is one important way the recipes are consistent with the Dietary Guidelines. The recipes successfully minimize fat without losing flavor because of careful attention given to both:

ingredients,.and.cooking.techniques

�n developing and testing the recipes, USDA made sure that many ingredients were purchased in a lowfat form, provided the overall quality of the product was not affected. For example:

All.raw.meat.ingredients.were.specified.to.be.lowfat..The.ground.beef,.for.instance,.had.no.more.than.20.percent.fat..Where.possible,.it.was.cooked.prior.to.adding.it.to.the.product.so.the.fat.could.be.drained.Chicken.was.either.purchased.skinless.or.the.skin.was.removed.prior.to.cooking.Mayonnaise.and.dairy.products,.such.as.milk,.yogurt,.and.cheese,.were.purchased.in.the.lowfat.form.provided.this.did.not.lessen.the.final.quality...

••

�n addition, main entrees were prepared with a minimal amount of fat. For example:

No.products.were.fried.All.sautéed.items.were.prepared.with.a.small.amount.of.oil...

Baked goods were also specially prepared.For example:

The.amount.of.margarine.or.butter.was.reduced.by.substituting.lowfat.yogurt.and.applesauce.for.a.percentage.of.the.fat..Whole.eggs.were.replaced.with.egg.whites.Baking.pans.were.either.ungreased.or.lightly.sprayed.with.pan.release.spray..

You.can.use.these.same.techniques.to.reduce.fat.without.losing.flavor.in.the.recipes.you.already.have.

Some Tips on Modifying and Standardizing Recipes:

Any.recipe.can.be.modified.to.reflect.new.tastes.or.changing.needs..The.recipes.in.this.collection.may.give.you.ideas.for.modifying.the.recipes.you.are.already.using.—.for.example,.by.adding.or.substituting.new.ingredients.or.changing.your.cooking.techniques.

As.you.make.changes,.it.is.important.to.modify.first,.then.standardize..

••

Standardized recipes have many advantages:

They.have.been.tried,.adapted,.and.retried.several.times.for.use.by.a.given.foodservice.operation.and.have.been.found.to.produce.the.same.good.results.and.yield.every.time.when.the.exact.procedures.are.used.with.the.same.type.of.equipment.and.the.same.quantity.and.quality.of.ingredients.

Using a standardized recipe ensures that:

The.same.amount.of.product.is.produced.each.time.The.same.portion.size.is.provided.each.time.

....Menu planning can be more consistent because:

There.is.a.predictable.yield.Costs.are.easier.to.control.Inventory.is.easier.to.control..

.�n addition, when the same good results can be produced time after time:

Foodservice.workers.have.more.confidence.in.what.they.are.doing.and.need.less.supervision,.and.....Managers.can.be.sure.the.nutrient.analysis.of.a.recipe.will.be.accurate.as.long.as.ingredients.and.preparation.methods.remain.the.same.

When.you.decide.to.modify.a.recipe,.start.by.making.25.portions..In.addition:

Change only one ingredient.at.a.time..Keep.other.ingredients.the.same.as.in.the.original.recipe.Record.clear.descriptions.of.foods.substituted.in.exact.amounts...If.increasing.or.decreasing.an.ingredient,.do.so.in.increments.of.1/4.to.1/2.of.the.amount.called.for.in.the.original.recipe.Follow.preparation.instructions.closely.and.record.any.changes.you.may.make.Do.not.make.further.changes.or.a.larger.size.recipe.until.the.first.modification.has.produced.a.high-quality.product.

Once.you.have.successfully.prepared.25.portions.of.a.recipe.you.are.modifying:

Set.up.taste.panels.to.evaluate.the.product.for.appearance,.consistency,.texture,.flavor,.and.overall.acceptability.Reproduce.at.50.and.100.servings.before.increasing.the.recipe.to.the.number.needed.for.your.meal.service.Instruct.foodservice.personnel.about.how.and.why.recipes.have.been.modified.

It.is.important.to.also:

Weigh.the.total.volume.of.recipes.at.50.and.100.servings.and.record.the.weight.Weigh.each.serving.and.record.the.weight..

Can Sizes (Common Weights and Measures)

1 Can sizes are industry terms and do not necessarily appear on the label.2 The net weight on can or jar labels differs according to the density of the contents. For example: A No. 10 can of sauerkraut weighs 6 lb 3 oz; a No. 10 can of cranberry sauce weighs 7 lb 5 oz. Meats, fish, and shellfish are known and sold by weight of contents.

3 Number of cans to equal a No. 10 can are approximate measures. More exact measures can be made by using exact volume or weight of contents.

A.garnish.is.a.food.item.or.part.of.a.food.item.used.to.enhance.the.food.being.served;.for.example,.a.dash.of.cinnamon.over.applesauce,.shredded.cheese.sprinkled.over.Chili.Con.Carne,.or.celery.tops.placed.around.a.steamtable.pan.of.Sloppy.Joe.filling.

Garnishes.help.to.merchandise.(sell).the.food.items.offered..Students.often.choose.food.by.how.good.it.looks..Therefore,.special.attention.to.eye-catching.garnishes.on.the.serving.line.and.student’s.trays.can.encourage.menu.selection.

Considerations in Garnishing

1.. A.garnish.should.generally.be.edible.and.should.be.handled.carefully.to.prevent.spoilage.and.food.poisoning..(NOTE:.Always.wash.a.vegetable.or.fruit.before.preparing.it.as.a.garnish.)

2.. Position.the.garnish.closest.to.the.student.(customer)..The.customer.should.be.able.to.see.the.entire.garnish..Place.the.garnish.in.the.corner.to.serve.most.of.the.food.without.moving.or.reaching.over.the.garnish.

Garnishing Techniques

3...Garnishes.need.not.require.a.lot.of.time.or.money.to.prepare..Attractive.garnishes.can.be.made.from.foods.on.hand..The.following.foods.may.be.sliced,.diced,.or.used.as.is,.as.appropriate,.for.a.quick.garnish:.

. Apples,.Bread.crumbs,.Celery,.Cheese,.Coconut,.Croutons,.Cucumber,.Grapes,.Lettuce,.Nuts,.Onion,.Paprika,.Parsley,.Parsley.flakes,.Peaches,.Raisins,.Tomato.

4...Garnishes.need.not.require.special.equipment..Only.simple.tools.are.needed;.for.example,.a.sharp.pointed.knife.for.paring,.a.serrated.knife.for.bread.and.tomatoes,.and.a.vegetable.peeler.for.paring.fruits.and.vegetables..Special.garnishing.tools,.such.as.a.V-cutter.for.zig-zag.finish.or.a.garnishing.knife.for.making.“crinkle.or.waffle”.cuts,.may.be.purchased,.if.desired.

Choosing a garnish

A.garnish.should.be.appropriate.for.the.food.being.served..Use.combinations.of.colors.that.blend.well..Be.sure.the.flavor.of.the.garnish.accents.or.is.compatible.with.the.flavor.of.the.menu.item.being.served..In.addition,.be.sure.the.size.of.the.garnish.is.appropriate..For.example,.too.heavy.a.garnish.for.beef.stew.will.sink.to.the.bottom.of.the.pan.and.too.small.a.garnish.will.fail.to.stand.out.

Some.foods.with.their.own.vivid.color.and.texture.need.no.garnish,.while.other.foods.do.need.garnishing..For.example,.pizza.with.its.bright.variety.of.colors.needs.little.or.no.extra.garnish,.whereas.a.steamtable.pan.of.hamburger.patties.lacks.color.and.could.benefit.from.a.garnish.for.better.appeal...A.creative.arrangement.of.food.in.a.steamtable.pan.can.also.be.appealing...For.example,.sandwiches.and.proportioned.meals.can.be.displayed.in.an.overlapping.or.shingled.arrangement.

Honey-Lemon ChickenMain Dishes

Special Tips:1) To remove skins easily, use a paper towel to grasp skin.

2) A honey-lemon sauce can be made from the baked pan liquids. For each 50 servings, dissolve 1 cup cornstarch in ½ cup cold water. Drain liquid from cooked chicken, remove fat, and strain. Heat 1 qt of honey-lemon sauce until it simmers, 180° F. Add cornstarch-water mixture and simmer until thickened. Pour over chicken before serving. This can be used as a sauce for vegetables or rice.

3) The unbaked honey-lemon sauce may also be used as a marinade. Pour the sauce over the chicken thighs and refrigerate overnight before baking.
