NO SPONGES IN THE KITCHEN.  (except for cleaning wands)

This shift is to be done between 3:00 and 6:00 pm.  Two cooks will be assigned to cook each night, M-Th, as well as rotational Fri/Sat evenings.

You are responsible for following the Guidelines for Douthart Cooks posted on the white refrigerator in addition to the following items.

1.    Attend Food Board meetings each month.  If you cannot attend, you must tell the Food Board Chairs 24 hours before the meeting, and give a list of planned meal ideas.

2.    Check the menu and follow any special instructions as posted.  Remember to line pans with foil or pan lines when possible.

3.      Prepare water, tea and Kool-Aid pitchers one pitcher per table.

4.    Set all food out on the white table in the dining room. (using hot pads as trivets when necessary)  Food should be put on serving platters or in serving bowls, etc. remember serving utensils.  Plates should be put on the white table also.

5.      Prepare late plates for those signed up on the list and put in the white fridge.

6.    On Friday and Saturday nights, set the meal up as a buffet in the kitchen.

7.    Wash any dishes or pans used in preparation as time allows.  All dishes should at the least be left to soak in hot water and soap.

8.    Put away any fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, frozen items, or other perishable items delivered during your shift.  Neatly stack the other deliveries in the pantry.  If time does not allow for this, find someone in the hall to help you, this is “Henry/Pantry’s” Job.  Please make sure you do not leave food sitting out to rot.
