Working Part-Time in the kitchen is hard
I graduated from high school at the age of 19 and became
a college student. At that time, I started looking for a place to
work and started a part-time job in the Momstouch kitchen.
The Momstouch kitchen is a thankful fast food restaurant that
allowed me to work, although I was not an adult. However
kitchen work was very difficult.
There are many reason why kitchen work is difficult. If you
go into the kitchen for the first time, you will be surprise by
the heat of the oil. Because of the heat of the oil, the cook
wears a short-sleeved T-shirt even in winter. And in the
summer, It’s as hot as death. While working, I keep sweating
and it doesn’t cool down even if I turn on the air conditioner.
So, the clothes I wore after work are wet because of sweat.
And the smell of oil soaking is really bad that even if I do
laundry, the smell dose not come out well. So it’s hot and
hard just standing in the kitchen.
It is not only because it is hot and the kitchen work is
difficult. If you go to work in the kitchen for the first time,
you should memorize all the recipes you have to make in the
kitchen. MomsTouch has more than 30 burgers and about 20
side menus. There are also more than 10 types of sauces in
burgers. So it takes a long time and is difficult to memorize
all the recipes. After memorizing all the recipes, I now have to
learn how to prepare the ingredients I needed to make food.
First of all, you have to learn how to make patties. This is
because it is the most important thing. If you make a wrong
patty, it may not be cooked properly. And you learn how to
prepare ingredients such as lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. I
had to learn so much to do kitchen work. So I started
working, and for two months, I memorized the recipe and
learned how to prepare ingredients.
I've been working for about eight months. So now I have
memorized all the recipes, made patties well, and know how
to prepare all the ingredients. However, even if you memorize
all the recipe and know how to prepare all the ingredients,
there are still many difficulties in kitchen work. It is very
difficult to make many foods fast according to the customer's
order. Sometimes, on days when there are many customers,
there are times when they work without resting for hours. This
kind of day is really exhausting and difficult because I have to
work without eating. The whole body smells of oil, and the
clothes are soaked in sweat. On such a day, I wash up and
fall asleep as soon as I get home after work. Sometimes I
want to quit my job, but when I get paid, I feel better and
can't quit.
However, there is something I realized while working
part-time with such a hard time. I didn't know when I bought
it, but kitchen work is hard. So I thought I should be more
thankful when I buy food from now on. And another thing I
realized was that making money is very difficult.
Cooking as a Hobby
Have you ever made a meal by yourself? Unfortunately, most people haven’t.
They don ’t know how much positive impact cooking can have in their life. Cooking
can be an art, science, and craft-making. It is using heat(sometimes not) and cooking
techniques
to prepare
food for consumption . Cooking
techniques
can be varied in
many
different
ways, such
as grilling
food
over
an open
fire, using electric stoves ,
and baking in ovens. In this article, I will tell you more about the positive aspects of
having cooking as a hobby.
First , cooking food at your home is healthier than buying food from
outside . In recent years , the proportion
of people ordering delivery food has
increased to an equivalent amount . The number of people ordering delivery food
has sky - rocketed
from 2.5 million to 7.5 million in the past 2 years . This will
eventually lead to the deterioration of health . However , there is a solution to this
problem. It is having cooking as one of your hobbies. If you cook by yourself at home
, you can use healthier ingredients . There are many organic ingredients in the
markets these days. Also, you can reduce salt and sugar . You cannot choose the
amount of salt or sugar added to the food that you buy outside . On the other hand,
it’s always your choice to put in whatever amount of sugar or salt in your food. In
addition, you can reduce calorie consumption . You could do this by reducing high
-calorie ingredients and putting in more low-fat or calorie ingredients.
Second , cooking food by yourself can save a tremendous amount of your
money. We are used to seeing 20$ signs for a pizza. However, if you make a pizza by
yourself, you can reduce the money that you pay. You only need an oven, flour, water,
tomato sauce, pepperoni , vegetables , and cheese to make a pizza. If you add all the
prices of these ingredients , it will be around 10$ or so. It's only half the price of the
pizza you buy outside . Pizza is just one of many examples . You could make spaghetti ,
kimbap , chicken , or any kind of food that you want to enjoy. It’s not only the price of
the ingredients that you can save, you can also save other parts that make up the price
of food. The price of food that you buy outside does not consist solely of the price of
ingredients . It also consists of labor cost, electricity cost, and gas cost. You can save all
these bills and costs just by cooking by yourself at home . Having cooking as your
hobby can be one of the most rational decisions that you make in your life.
Last , cooking can help you build up your self -esteem and confidence.
According to ‘Pubmed ’, which is the National Center for Biotechnology Information ,
cooking can redeem your self-esteem and can even make your self-esteem much higher.
Also , it’s not only the self-esteem that you can enhance , you can also boost up your
confidence by cooking . This is because cooking requires steps . If you want to cook
something , you would have to plan many steps and achieve them. When you achieve
the goals that you have planned , your self-trust will go higher and this will eventually
lead to higher confidence
and higher self -esteem . In addition , as many studies
concluded , spending time in the kitchen can release stress and restlessness
, and
enhance mindfulness. Not only does the process of cooking and baking improve moods ,
the feeling of satisfaction gained when seeing the end product naturally enhances
happiness . There are many YouTube videos and books that tell you the stories of people
who recovered their low self-esteem and low confidence by cooking . Watching these
videos and reading these books could help you get yourself motivated to try cooking by
yourself at home.
In conclusion , there are many enjoyable hobbies that you can have, such as playing
computer games , watching tv, and fishing . However , there aren’t that many hobbies that
allow you to enhance your health, save money, and boost up your self-esteem. Cooking can
satisfy all these conditions, and can even be undoubtfully fun too. For these reasons, cooking
can be a very splendid hobby . I sincerely hope that you can enjoy your self-made pizza
someday.
Fresh tangerines, dried fruits, and what should you eat for smooth blood
circulation?
There are two foods around us that affect blood circulation. One of them is a
fresh tangerine with a strong fresh taste and the other is a dried fruit with a
strong sweet taste. They are similar to each other and have many differences.
Let's find out from now on.
Fresh tangerines, dried fruits, and people enjoy eating these two foods. For that
reason, first of all, they are common around us and can easily find and buy them.
This is because you can easily find it at a nearby mart. And the fact that they
can be sweet desserts after eating will also be a reason why people enjoy eating.
Finally, some people eat these two foods just because they are sweet, but there
will be many people who eat them because they are rich in vitamins.
Despite these similar foods, there are differences between fresh tangerines and
dried fruits. First, tangerines are fresh fruits, and dried fruits are foods that dry
various types of fruits. If you dry a variety of fruits, unlike fresh fruits such as
tangerines, you can store them for a relatively long time and eat them, but dried
fruits contain any sugar as they are rich in nutrients. Frequent eating of
high-sugar foods can interfere with blood circulation.
In conclusion, both of these foods, as well as fresh tangerines and dried fruits,
are delicious and good foods. However, if you eat either food often, I recommend
eating fresh tangerines. Since the sugar in dried fruits is very high, excessive
consumption will prevent your blood circulation.
