About the Cooking techniques test
Though a kitchen’s head chef may design signature dishes and dictate the direction of a restaurant or other commercial kitchen, the cooks’ skills truly make or break the establishment. A cook with mastery of cooking techniques and kitchen literacy can ensure that each dish comes out as planned.
But more than that, they can also effectively react to situations that surface in the kitchen, making independent decisions when needed. Staffing your kitchen with experienced cooks helps build the success of your restaurant or commercial kitchen.
This Cooking Techniques test evaluates candidates’ abilities to use frying, dry cooking, moist cooking, combination cooking methods, and kitchen literacy concerning each of these methods.
With questions addressing a wide range of on-the-job kitchen scenarios and types of food, this screening test will help you identify cooks who can effectively use cooking techniques in different situations to create the desired outcomes. Candidates who do well on this test will help ensure your kitchen runs smoothly and will help ensure that your customers’ dining expectations are met.
