Hello there!
The day started early again but it was just 18°C. This time we rode our bikes 5 kilometres to the main kitchen in Kotka.
In this big industrial kitchen are 14,5 meals per day cooked and about 70 tons of food processed. With that there are 10000 people provided. In total there are 400 delivery locations all over Kotka and surroundings up to 30 kilometres.
The new kitchen stands there since 2010 and delivers food to schools, hospitals, kindergartenand more for free for 70 years. They cook also special diets, for example vegetarian, and the menus choosen by the clients rotate every 12 weeks. Amongst this they cook healthy and balanced, one time a week with fish.
The food is based on the Finnish food triangle. The students can choose between to meals per day.
The food delivery arrives at the kitchen every day at 5 o'clock and will then be combined with others, if it’s already cooked, or it will be cooked fresh.
We first heard a short speech about the hygiene conditions in this building and then got white overalls and white hoods to prevent contaminating the factory. Then we went in three groups trough two hygiene rooms, where we cleaned our hands and shoes.
After that we finally started the guided tour and got into the main room, where they cook and pack the food. There were many machines and tools.
We went also through other rooms in which there were cooling the food or processed the meals.
Every room has its own temperature checked by a huge computer. It’s very important to keep everything right.
In the end of the tour we got back to the meeting room we heard the presentation I and ate pizza and drank smoothies.
We heard another short speech and then rode back. It was informative and interesting.
Back at school we ate lunch and prepared our presentations further and wrote our blogs for today.
After school we ate again and then drove with the host family to the Kotka museum while Netta had guitar lesson. We got on a really big ship and it was amazing. You could look into the rooms and get the feeling of this.
Now we’re all tired and want to sleep.
Good night,
Josi
