How To Flashcards
Dehydrate Fruit
- Check par levels - there should be one large container and one quart container full of dehydrated fruit
- Check the fruit in the walk-in. What is there an abundance of? Will those be needed later in the week?
- Wash the produce. Run the cutting board and knife in the dishwasher before use. Slice off the ends of the fruit and discard. Cut the fruit into thin slices.
- The dehydrator is located downstairs in the kitchen - top shelf, above the fryers. Remove the trays. Arrange the freshly sliced fruit on the trays (can overlap).
- Fill all of the trays with fruit
- Hit the start/stop button. Hit the time/temp button. Use the +/- buttons to change the time and temperature. Start with 15-17 hours for time. Press the time/temp button again to change the temperature to 158. Press the start/stop button again.
- Dehydrating fruit is a two-day process. Check the fruit the next day and add 8-10 more hours at the same temperature. After two days, the fruit should be properly dehydrated.
Espresso Martini Batch
- Pour 3 bottles of well vodka into large pitcher. Wash the vodka bottles and set them aside. The completed batch will be poured back into the vodka bottles.
- Add 2.5 packets of coffee into the pitcher of vodka. Stir. Cover. Date. Store in the walk-in for 24 hours.
- After 24 hours, strain the batch into a new large pitcher. Put a coffee filter into a fine mesh strainer and strain.
- Discard the used coffee grounds.
- Grab one bottle of Averna and one bottle of Kahlua.
- Measure out the coffee vodka yield. Add 25% of Averna and 25% of Kahlua to the batch.
- 11 cups of vodka = 2.75 cups of Averna and Kahlua (11 x .25 = 2.75) - Stir and redistribute the batch into clean vodka bottles. Date. Store in the walk-in.
Juice Watermelon
- Wash the watermelon. Any residue from the melon will transfer to the knife back to the inside of the watermelon. Wipe dry.
- Carefully cut the watermelon in half to get two equal halves.
- Cut each watermelon in half again to get wedges.
- If your watermelon is large, you may have to cut it 3+ times.
- The smaller the pieces the easier it is to juice. - Slice the watermelon flesh away from the rind. Cut into smaller pieces if needed.
