Me and my group was really slow but, we were still successful and from what I've learned was you don't need to be fast in cooking, because it only makes things worse and it causes accidents. So that my groups Personal safety will be affected by rushing things and not taking it carefully. Not only that we were successful we also finished everything in time by taking it carefully. Not only that but yesterday we made a mistake by using the red knife to peal the carrots and that affects our food safety, that happened because we were trying to rush because we were falling behind.

For me personally i think we need to prepare before we cook, like prepare everything in time also put everything back in time. Me and my group need to be more organised before we cook, So in order to be more organised we need to assign roles to each other so we do it safer,faster and better just so we finish in time.
