DRAWERS  Make sure that your silverware drawer is neat and organized during clean up.  YES – even if your group didn’t do it.  If anything is messed up, tell me.  If you don’t say anything, the next group will and at that point, it is now your fault.

TOOLS DRAWER  Every kitchen has the same items in the tool drawer.  The items are labeled with your kitchen’s duct tape color.  Please keep in organized neatly.  If you use anything that does NOT have your color on it, that means it must be put away when you are done using it.  You will lose points if your kitchen has “extras” in it
