10.  Qualifying for Skills Canada National
     Competition:

Following closing ceremonies and review of all competitors’ results,
gold medal winners will be notified by Skills Canada Nunavut if the
Technical Chair of their competition has recommended them to
represent Nunavut at the SCNC. Skills Canada Nunavut technical
committee (judges) will positively assess each competitor and come
up with a detailed training plan to ensure future successes.

Cooking at the SCNC-level:
      The SCNC recipes are the same as TSC, however the student will have to
      produce an appetizer meal in addition to the same two-course meal they
      prepared in Iqaluit.
      The competitor will have to prepare a menu board to display beside their
      workstation, detailing the name and descriptions of each dish.
      The SCNC is a two-day competition:
          o Day 1 consists of each competitor being judged on the three
              competencies they were instructed at TSC. They will be marked on their
              skills and not have guidance from an instructor.
          o Day 2 consists of the production and presentation of the three-course
              meal. Competitors will have less time to prepare the meal.
      Competitors will have to pack their own supplies for competition as no equipment
      will be provided (stoves, sinks, and ingredients will be available). Skills Canada
      Nunavut will assist in providing any needed supplies.

      a little at a time. Knead well for at least 15 minutes.
   4. Cover the dough and let it rest at least 30 minutes.
   5. Cut the dough into 3 to 5 pieces. Set the rollers of a pasta machine at the widest
      opening. Pass the pieces of dough through the machine folding them in thirds
      after each pass and dusting them lightly with flour to keep them from getting
      sticky. Continue passing each piece through the machine until it is smooth.
   6. Working with one piece of dough at a time, decrease the width between the
      rollers one notch and pass the dough through them again. After each pass, turn
      the rollers one notch narrower, dust the dough with flour, and pass it through
      again. Continue until the dough is as thin as desired. The pasta is now ready to
      cut into desired shapes and to cook.

   inch (18 millimetres wide).
