Food Preservation | T-Chart

Different food containers are used for storing and preserving a range of different foods, however they have exceptions that depend on how it is needed to be stored.

Food Containers
Food Containers are made from hard plastic but flexible plastic. Some of the pros are that they come in a range of sizes for all foods, and they are spacious. Some of the cons are that that they are not suitable for oven cooking, and are not able to keep foods warm/hot.

Mason Jars
Mason jars are glass storage jars, and only come in one shape. Some of the pros are that they are airtight, and are transparent, which allow the contents to be seen. Some of the cons are that they are fragile, and have metal lids (which can rust).

Gastronorm Pan Containers
Gastronorm pan containers are stainless steel receptacle. Some of the advantages are that they are suitable for oven cooking and buffets. Some cons are that the edges are extended which make them difficult to store or cook properly, and they don't come with lids.

Conclusion
These are the three different containers that are suitable for three different situations. The three different situations are: fridge storage, storing fruits or pickles at room temperature and for storing buffet foods.

Plastic containers are good for storing foods in the fridge, because they come with lids and are stackable, which keep things organized. They also come in a range of sizes.

Mason Jars are good for storing fruits or pickles because they are airtight. They are very suitable for those circumstances.

Gastronorm pan containers are good for storing foods like buffet servings, because they keep food warm and are spacious, meaning they can fit lots of food in it.

Writing | Hyperboles & Personification

I learnt how to use hyperboles and personification to identify images. Hyperboles and personifications are a kind of figurative language.

First, I looked at doing the hyperboles, which are exaggerations.

I observed the images and came up with a situation that included the circumstances in the images, then used hyperbole lists to find accurate hyperboles for the images.

Then, I focused on doing personification, which give an object a human characteristic.

I did the same with the hyperboles and observed the images. I used personification lists to find accurate personification for the images.

Basic Facts Boxes

Basic Facts Boxes is an activity that challenges a persons skill to complete basic maths problems quickly.

This week I did the Speed Demon challenge up to 10 and completed 5 boxes for addition, subtraction and multiplication in 3 minutes and 38 seconds.
