Iron Chef Reflection
The iron chef activity was one of the activities that i enjoyed most, it was definitely an enjoyable challenge. I enjoyed this challenge becuase of the ingriedient we were given to use, which was the bell pepper. Bell peppers have a range of colors and flavors to choose from which made the dishes more dynamic. The process of desicision making in our group was simple, somebody would throw down an idea and everybody else would agree or disagree, if we all agreed we would use that idea. I liked this method of desicision making, it was just simple, fair, and easy. To choose the recipe to present to the judges we originally chose a bell pepper stuffed with ingiedients that we could not acquire, so we made up our own recipe for a stuffed bell pepper. We agreed upon stuffing the orange bell peppers with eggs, bacon, green and red bell peppers. I am happy with how we found our recipe becuase we made it ourselves and we felt more original because we made our own recipe. If we were to do this activity again there is definitely one thing I would change in our recipe, how the orange bell peppers were cooked. We didn’t really think that much on how we would cook the bell pepper than would be stuffed, we just put it on a pan but it didn’t really get cooked. To change this I would put the orange bell pepper in the oven instead of a pan, it would definitely make it more cooked. The time restraint effected the technique we used to cook our eggs. Originally we wanted to put the ingriedients inside of the bell pepper, where the egg is beaten and still raw, into the oven but that would take too much time because we read online that to cook a scrambled egg in the over it would take around 20 mins. We decided that it was more time efficient to cook the eggs in a pan.
