Hi does anyone do AQA Food tech?? I got the little pre-released sheet thing ages ago but i'm not really sure how i can revise other than learning the ingredients and their functions of the muffins and biscuits?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hey, I'm doing food tech on Thursday.

Basically, my teacher told us to learn all the functions of ingredients for cake/biscuit making, different methods of sensory testing, all the things like quality controls, management etc, health and safety stuff, ermmmm... also like what different fruit do (what vitamins they contain - its all on internet)

Good luck!

Yeah I'm doing food tomorrow, litterally crapping myself
there's SO much stuff which we revised, loads on fair trade and the red tractor thing, and decoration techniques and muffin practicals and **** loads more which i cannot be bothered to list. but i havent done anything on sensory testing my teacher focused mainly on the pictures and not on the writing on the front of the page

Heya
I didn't think we had to learn about vitamins in fruits as our teacher implied it would probably look at smoothies seeing as though the topic is cafe shops and drinks and stuff.
We haven't really covered the little tractor but am I right in thinking its to symbolise British Meat or something.
I would also learn your HACCP because its more than likely we're going to have to design a product, say how it meets the design criteria then show how we would make it.
Best of luck for tomorrow!

Oh my god i havent done anything about any of this stuff. My teacher is a druggy (im not being horrible- she actually is) and doesnt teach us much because everyone knows they can just ignore her and shes too out of it to do anything about it god that sounds really bad lol. Do you need to know quantaties of each ingredients??

Well I'm planning on learning a muffin recipe and look up some stuff on the red tractor and that's about it

[Kestrel_Lover_Sophie]

I've learnt [or am trying to learn] simplified recipes for things like cake bars and muffins.

Please does anyone know a couple of easy to remember definitions for Quality Control and Quality Assurance as I cannot pinpoint the difference between them?

No idea god my teacher is rubbish
