Grilling assessment

Basic Hamburger

The type of grilling we used was between grilling when we put the patties between the sandwich maker. What we were looking out for was the smell and appearance of the bun and meat, making sure there wasn't any mould and the bun smelt fresh and the meat looks red and also smells fresh not smelling like its off. Also checking they are being cooked before or on the day of the expiry date otherwise they will go off and I wont be able to use the ingredients.

We mix the mince, onion, egg, breadcrumbs and salt and pepper together. Once it is all mixed in, put some water onto your hands so the mixture can stick together and shape them into flat patties equally. Then we heat up a frying pan and cook the patties for about 5 minutes on each side or until each side is cooked and brown on the outside. Add some of your own fillings and sauces like lettuce, grated carrot and cheese, mayonnaise, tomato sauce etc.

Ingredients:

• 250g lean beef or lamb mince
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 egg
• 1 cup soft white breadcrumbs
• Salt and pepper
• 2 tsp oil

Oaty pancakes with grilled bacon and fruit

The type of grilling we used for the bacon was under grilling when we put the bacon into the oven. What we were looking out for was the bananas didn't have any blemishes or black spots on it and the bacon didn't smell like it was off. 

First we sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl then we add the rolled oats. Beat the egg and 1/2 cup of milk together and then create a well in the middle,pour the mixture in and whisk until it is a smooth batter. Spray the pan with oil and pour the batter in evenly, cook until underneath of the pancake is brown and the top is bubbling then you can flip it over. The pancake will take a couple of minutes to cook or just until both sides are brown. 

Then line the oven tray with baking paper and place 8 slices of bacon. Put the oven on 150 degrees onto grill and cook the bacon until it is crispy and brown. You can caramelise your bananas and add other fruit you would like, with maple syrup.
