chocolate covered strawberries
- what were some challenges that you faced during this lab?how did you deal with them?
Well, one of the main challenges was the shortage in number of people in the group!We had to do all the works which others where doing in groups of five or more in a group of two and that was a bit of challenge for me! For dealing with this challenge me and my teammate split all the work in two so we could concentrate on each part and then every few minutes we switched our places so that we could enjoy both parts and avoid being bored of doing the same thing for the whole lab!
- what connection can be made between this lab and what was learned in the classroom?
the day before the lab, we learned about how to properly melt chocolate chips and how to make it look shiny with using margarine. Also we learned what are the safety rules when using hot pots and boiling water. in addition. we also were taught what should be done before and after every lab ( sanitizing the sink, putting long hair in a pony tale, removing all accessories such as rings and bracelets, removing long and loose sleeves, wiping the counter, bringing all the needed items and etc.) which really helped to make a professional and simple dish.
- what changes can be done for this dish to suit others preferences?
we could use multiple slices fruits such as mango, apple, banana, pineapple and other kinds of fruit to create a more flexible dish which contains different tastes so that if someone is allergic to one of the fruit, she or he can enjoy the rest. also if we could provide different kinds of chocolate such as milk chocolate and white chocolate to create a more colorful dish with shades of brown #fifty_shades_of_chocolate.
