(a) Three reasons for using disposables in the catering industry

• They save time and labour because they do not need to be washed up after use.
• They improve hygiene and reduce the risk of cross-contamination since a fresh item is used each time.
• They are convenient and portable, which makes them ideal for outdoor events, parties and take-away service; there is also no breakage or replacement of crockery.

(b) Three hygienic precautions in the use of a refrigerator

• Clean the refrigerator regularly, inside and out, and defrost it to prevent build-up of ice and odours.
• Store raw and cooked foods separately, keeping cooked or ready-to-eat food above raw meat and fish to prevent dripping and cross-contamination.
• Cover all foods and do not overload the shelves, so that cold air can circulate and the correct temperature is maintained.

(c) Two items for serving cocktail in the bar

• Cocktail shaker.
• Cocktail glass (with a strainer or jigger/measure also acceptable).
