Part of Lesson Plan: Beef Cuts and Basic Cookery

Activity Overview / Details

After finishing the notes, have the students turn to the page titled Beef Questions.  These questions go along with the video you will be playing.  This is a portion of an episode of Good Eats on Food Network.  You will be watching the first ten minutes.  It is a perfect recap explanation of the carcass location and grading information you just went over.  Ask the students to answer the questions as they watch the video. Stop the video at  7 minutes and 3 seconds time.  There are a couple of extra questions that can only be answered if the students "digest" what has been taught.  They will need to put togther a few things that were mentioned to come up with a correct answer.  I give a little time (3-5 minutes) for them to consider these questions and then ask for someone to volunteer their answer to share with the class.  Hopefully someone gets it right!  The answer to the refrigerator questions has to do with the bottom and back of the fridge being where it is coldest, to help prevent spoilage and food poisoning during the dry aging process.
