Cook

This is skilled work in preparing and cooking a major portion or all of a meal in an institutional kitchen. Employees are usually responsible for either general meat or vegetable preparation although these two functions may be combined.

Work is performed in accordance with menus prepared and quantities provided by the dietary staff for each meal and requires skill in determining cooking times for various food items in order to complete all portions of the meal at the prescribed serving time. Work is reviewed by a supervisor to determine that food is properly prepared according to schedule, and that food is not wasted.

Normal working hours are 40 hours per week. Rotating weekends and holidays as scheduled.
