what is the cycle in which food travels called?
The Flow Of Food
who’s job is it to monitor food along the flow of food?
the managers
What causes most foodborne illnesses?
Time-temperature Abuse
The Temperature Danger Zone(TDZ) is
(41 degrees f to 135 degrees f)
The most dangerous zone in TDZ is
70 degrees f to 125 degrees f
how do you prevent ttime temperature abuse
cook foods to proper internal temp, hold food at proper temp, and cooled/reheated temp
Bimetallic stemmed thermometers range from
0 degrees f to 220 degrees f
what is the best thermometer for monitoring foods
Bimetallic stemmed thermometer
Bimetallic stemmed thermometer must be instated up to the …
dimple in the stem
Thermometers and Thermistors take temp via a
metal probe with a sensor on the tip
Thermometers and Thermistors have a
digital display
Thermometers and Thermistors don have to be inserted as deep as Bimetallic stemmed thermometers making them more appropriate for
thin foods
Infrared Thermometers (laser) take the temperature of
surfaces
Which Thermometer reduces cross contamination
Infrared Thermometer
Infrared Thermometers cannot measure
air or internal temps
maximum registering thermometers can be used for long term monitoring of temperature or show temps inside
dish machines
What are the 2 methods to calibrate thermometers
the boiling-point method and the ice- point method
the boiling point method is when you place the thermometer in
boiling water and adjusts it to 212 degrees f
the ice point method is when you place the thermometer in
ice water and adjusting it to 32 degrees f
which method of calibrating thermometers is the fastest, safest, and easiest
the ice point method
Cold TCS foods should be recieved at
41 degrees f or lower
examples of tcs foods
meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, cooked rice, and certain cut vegetables
Live and shucked shelfish should be recieved at
45 degrees or lower and fcooled to 41 degrees or lower within 4 hours
milk should be recieved at
45 degrees or lower and cooled to 41 degrees or lower within 4 hours
