calcular o controlar el tiempo de cocción


Explanation:
Por el poco contexto interpreto que se trata de calcular y/o controlar los tiempos de cocción como parte del entrenamiento y luego servir los platos.

Espero que te sirva.

organizando/ordenando la salida de los platos


Explanation:
En qué orden salen los platos para cada mesa... hay platos que tardan más pero todos los comensales deben recibir su comida al mismo tiempo, por ejemplo. A menos que soliciten lo contrario.
