Does NWCAV have proper and an ample supply of equipment? Are 3 ovens in the pastry kitchen enough for all of the pastry students?
A. Most definitely. Both the culinary and pastry kitchens are very well equipped. There wasn’t ever an issue of not being able to complete a task due to the lack of equipment. Three ovens were plenty in the pastry kitchen. Communication between students is key when placing items in the oven for baking. Communicating the needs of the oven is an important lesson to learn and prepares you for the realities of the industry. Quite often, we are told, culinary and pastry chefs in professional kitchens need to share the ovens.
