    What ingredient is usually added to bread to make it rise?

    • Yeast

    • Sugar

    • Floor

    • Milk

    Correct Answer
    A. Yeast
    Explanation
    Yeast is usually added to bread to make it rise. Yeast is a microorganism that feeds on the sugars present in the dough and produces carbon dioxide gas as a byproduct. This gas gets trapped in the dough, causing it to expand and rise. Sugar, floor (presumably meant to be "flour"), and milk do not have the same leavening properties as yeast and therefore do not contribute to the rising of bread.

    If you have long hair you should let it hang loose because its all lovely and beautiful.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "If you have long hair you should let it hang loose because it's all lovely and beautiful" is subjective and based on personal preference. There is no universal rule that states people with long hair should always let it hang loose. Some individuals may prefer to style their long hair in different ways such as tying it up or braiding it. Therefore, the answer to this statement is false as it does not apply to everyone with long hair.

    How long should you wash your hands? 

    • 50 seconds 

    • 20-30 seconds

    • 1 minute 

    • 1+ minute 

    Correct Answer
    A. 20-30 seconds
    Explanation
    The recommended duration for washing hands is 20-30 seconds. This allows enough time to thoroughly clean all areas of the hands, including between the fingers and under the nails. Washing hands for less than 20 seconds may not effectively remove germs, while washing for more than 30 seconds may not provide additional benefits in terms of cleanliness. Therefore, 20-30 seconds is considered an appropriate duration for handwashing.

    Which of the following would not be baked?

    • Caesar Salad Dressing 

    • Cookies

    • Cake

    • Bread

    Correct Answer
    A. Caesar Salad Dressing 
    Explanation
    Caesar Salad Dressing would not be baked because it is a type of dressing that is typically made by combining ingredients like garlic, anchovies, lemon juice, and olive oil. It is meant to be drizzled over a salad and does not require baking. On the other hand, cookies, cake, and bread are all baked goods that require a baking process to cook and set the ingredients.

    • Cooking

    • Preparing

    • Seasoning

    • Imbuing

    Correct Answer
    A. Seasoning
    Explanation
    Seasoning refers to the act of adding salt and spices to a food in order to enhance its flavor. It is a common practice in cooking to season dishes with various herbs, spices, and condiments to bring out the natural taste of ingredients and create a more enjoyable eating experience. Seasoning can also help to balance flavors and add depth to a dish, making it a crucial step in the culinary process.

    Which cooking method is the LEAST healthiest?

    • Grilling

    • Baking

    • Frying

    • Boiling

    Correct Answer
    A. Frying
    Explanation
    Frying is considered the least healthy cooking method because it involves submerging food in hot oil, which can increase the calorie and fat content of the food. When food is fried, it absorbs the oil, resulting in a higher calorie and fat content compared to other cooking methods. Additionally, frying can produce harmful compounds, such as acrylamide, which is formed when starchy foods are fried at high temperatures. These factors contribute to why frying is considered the least healthy cooking method.

    How is the smoothie made?

    • It is blended

    • It is chopped up 

    • It is boiled 

    • It is warmed in the oven

    Correct Answer
    A. It is blended
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "It is blended." This is because a smoothie is typically made by blending various ingredients together until they form a smooth and creamy consistency. Blending helps to break down the ingredients and mix them thoroughly, resulting in a well-mixed and homogeneous beverage. Chopping up, boiling, or warming in the oven are not common methods used to make a smoothie.

    In baking recipes, what is usually the first step ?

    • Crack eggs

    • Put everything on the counter

    • Measure everything into the bowels

    • Preheat the oven 

    Correct Answer
    A. Preheat the oven 
    Explanation
    In baking recipes, the first step is usually to preheat the oven. This is because preheating the oven ensures that it reaches the desired temperature before placing the food inside. It allows for even cooking and helps to activate certain ingredients like leavening agents. Preheating also helps to create a suitable environment for baking, ensuring that the food cooks properly and achieves the desired texture and flavor.

    What sort of shoes must be worn in the kitchen?

    •   Colourful

    • Enclosed

    • Leather and enclosed

    • Cool

    Correct Answer
    A. Leather and enclosed
    Explanation
    In the kitchen, it is important to wear shoes that are leather and enclosed. This is because leather shoes provide protection against spills, hot liquids, and sharp objects that may be present in the kitchen. Additionally, enclosed shoes prevent any potential injuries from falling objects or accidents. Wearing leather and enclosed shoes ensures safety and hygiene in the kitchen environment.
