Ready-to-eat food should be stored above | Raw foods |
Where and how should raw meat be stored | On the bottom shelf in a pan to catch juices |
Why should you label products that are removed from their original containers | So you don't make mistakes and cross-contaminate |
What are two things you can do while cooking food to keep it safe | Avoid temperatures where bacteria can grow Cook to recommended temperatures to destroy pathogens |
What is the Danger Zone | 41-135 |
PHF may not be in the Danger Zone longer than | 4 hours |
What are the rules for hot holding | Never use a holding unit to cook food Keep hot foods 135 or higher Check temperature at least every 4 hours with sanitized thermometer |
Reheating rule | Reheat within 2 hours to 165 for 15 minutes |
When using a thermometer follow these guidelines | Insert into the thickest part of food Don't let the thermometer touch the pan, bone, or fat |
