*This is a full day.  Some of these items are not needed everyday.  Unlisted tasks are cleaning and dealing with extra produce as it comes in, playing tetrus with the refrigerator so it all fits (includes constantly consolidating), extra tasks the other cooks might need help with, and constant clean-up to maintain an organized and clean station.  Most tasks are extra (up to double) on Saturdays.
