The chipkins visit in Polokwane 21-06-2012

On the 21 of July 2012, The first year students and i went to chipkins in polokwane. This trip for the first years was to help them gain more experience and ideas for their baking modules. My aim on this trip was to supervise the students and gain information on how to be a better trainer. The bakers that showed us all the new techniques and methods used a variety of demonstration methods, beginning with breaking the ice, and getting the students involved in creating items.



 We were taught to make items such as chakalaka buns and a chakalaka sea monster, which looked more like a rock with a tail after baking. Even though we used all premix items that chipkins supplies. We learned about alot of new ideas that can be used when baking. This gave us all an opportunity to play around a little in the training kitchen and gain new experience.   

 


We saw how a supplier packs and distributes some of their goods and wares. and other items that chipkins supplies as well.The picture to the right is one of the students creation where they experimented with the different colour seeds making a pattern on the hunters loaf.






For the items that are not used or that is damaged or past the expiry date, there is a special area called the quarantine area.

 There are no harmful substances here, but these items are all kept away from the products that are being delivered to the customers. the reason this stock is kept is to have physical evidence of stock loss.
