Performance Evidence

An individual demonstrating competency must satisfy all of the elements and performance criteria in this unit.

There must be evidence that the individual has operated and monitored a baking process to bake at least one batch of pastries to meet product specifications, including:

  • applying safe work procedures
  • following food safety procedures
  • confirming oven settings and parameters, including:
  • correct oven settings for baking time
  • oven zone temperatures
  • conveyor speed, loaders and dischargers
  • circulation and exhaust fans
  • water seals
  • burner controls and steam
  • heights, guides and air blowers
  • monitoring baked pastries, including quantities and pastry appearance (colour and sheen, uniformity of shape, weight and size, and moisture)
  • taking corrective action in response to typical faults and inconsistencies in separated product.

Knowledge Evidence

An individual must be able to demonstrate the knowledge required to perform the tasks outlined in the elements and performance criteria of this unit. This includes knowledge of:

  • purpose and basic principles of each stage of the baking process, including the stages of the baking process and changes that occur in the product, the effect of variables (time, temperature and humidity), and oven zones as appropriate to oven type
  • basic operating principles of equipment, including:
  • the difference between convection and impingement ovens
  • main equipment components
  • status and purpose of guards
  • equipment operating capacities and applications
  • the purpose and location of sensors and related feedback instrumentation
  • types of ovens typically used in high volume baking environments, and the principles of heat transfer, including:
  • convection
  • conduction
  • radiation
  • electromagnetic radiation
  • quality characteristics to be achieved by the baked product
  • process specifications, procedures and operating parameters for different baked pastry products
  • operating requirements and parameters, and corrective action required where operation is outside specified operating parameters
  • typical equipment faults and related causes, including signs and symptoms of faulty equipment and early warning signs of potential problems
  • methods used to monitor the baking process, including inspecting, measuring and testing, by the process
