Mathew Mubako

I am well-equipped to handle the work associated with it. With 3 years of experience in this regard, I have good exposure to working as a team member, within a busy kitchen environment.

Over the time that I have worked as a commis chef, I have polished my skills in many areas. Some skills that I offer include:

Determining the right ingredients for different dishes

Preparing food items such as meats, cheeses, fruits, and vegetables

Making soups, salads, and sandwiches from scratch

Operating kitchen appliances and equipment such as grills, ovens, and fryers

Performing preventative and regular maintenance on kitchen appliances

Handling waste management tasks, aiming at eradicating contamination

There is a lot more that I have to offer in a commis chef role, including the ability to expedite orders, and perform portioning tasks. Also, I possess expertise in handling food rotating activities and overseeing food supplies inventory.
