Can someone explain to me exactly how a stage works

[Blueicus]

Easily. The chef suggests a time you go in, you arrive at least 15 minutes before, you work your little heart out and follow instructions until you're either forced to leave or are congratulated and sent on your way.

If the Chef says "dice me up an onion", and the first thing you do is grab an onion, a cutting board or a knife, put it down and walk out.
You're done.

You should 1st ask where you can set up to work, what size dice and what type onion. Alternatively, you could ask to be shown how the chef wants it done.

The first thing you should do is wash your hands.
Always.

Ha! Very true, I over-thought that.

Your answer wasn't wrong Greg, those are important considerations, but I was focusing on the physical.
Cheers.

D'oh. (smacks forehead) Of course. My train of thought was going somewhere else. Thanks for the clarification guys.
