Welcome to Canadore College.
My name is Alexandra and I'm in the Culinary
Management program.
Today I'll be showing you how to properly
dress for the kitchen, so let's get started.
Your chef hat is adjustable with a velcro
strip at the back.
Hair must be kept up inside the chef hat.
The chefs hat will prevent hair from falling
into the food, will absorb sweat from your
brow, and identify you as a professional.
If your hair is long, it must be kept up in
a hair net and tucked under the chef's hat.
If your hair goes below the neck, a hair net
is required.
For male students, you have to be clean shaven.
The chef coat is made out of tough fabrics
that protect you from heat, spills and the
stove and grill in front of you.
Please wear a plain white shirt under the
chef coat.
Make sure the buttons are done up all the
way to the top, roll the sleeves once and
do not wipe your hands on your coat, apron
or pants.
The Canadore logo must be properly displayed
and clean on the uniform at all times.
The apron acts as a sanitary barrier between
you and the food.
The apron should be folded once, tied in the
front and folded again.
The square apron should come below the knees
and you should be removing the apron before
you leave the lab.
The side towl is used to remove pots and pans
from either the oven or the stove.
The towel must remain dry.
The pants consist of dark, checkered material,
to help maintain a clean and professional
appearance.
The pants should be properly fitted and in
good condition, not frayed, ripped, or low
hanging.
Hem the leg to the appropriate length and
do not have anything hanging from the pockets.
Jewelry is banned in the kitchen and that
includes any visible body piercings.
Also, please keep your finger nails short
and clean.
Do not wear any fake nails or nail polish.
You will be standing on your feet for an extended
period of time and may have to walk on wet
floors.
You are required to wear a comfortable pair
of black, non-slip, leather shoes.
Wear black socks and keep shoes polished and
tied.
Do not wear open toe, open heel or running
shoes.
Everything in this video is up to Canadore
College sanitation code.
We ask everyone who enters the kitchen to
please abide by these guidelines.
I hope you have a good year in your program
and good luck in the kitchen.
