Who is the Batch Cooking poster for?

Batch Cooking belongs to the Kitchen section rather than to a school year, because food is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning technique can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the Batch Cooking poster?

Batch components, not finished meals. Components recombine; a finished dish does not. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Batch Cooking belongs on the wall where that food work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What other posters go with Batch Cooking?

Blanching, Braising and Caramelisation sit alongside Batch Cooking in the Kitchen section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.

Is the Batch Cooking poster free to download and print?

Yes. Batch Cooking downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Kitchen section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.

What size does the Batch Cooking poster print at?

Batch Cooking is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Batch Cooking loses nothing.
