Additional Comments

Container of Raw chicken was sitting on counter for 10 minutes (temperature is 46). I had employee but chicken back in cooler. Fried boneless chicken was sitting on counter for 1 hour (temperature is 97 degrees F. ) I had employee discard chicken. over 10 bags of French fries has been sitting out over 1 hour (temperature is 37 degrees F) i had employees put fries back in refrigerator.

Food can not sit on counter. Food has to be hot held (135 degrees F or above) or cold held (41 degrees or below). I inform person in charge of this.



Person in charge must be knowledgeable of the kitchen not just the front register.



Cooling Method :
The cooling process does not start until food reaches 135 degrees F. Once food reaches 135 degrees F, you have 2 hours to get food to 70 degrees F. If food does not reach 70 degrees F within 2 hours, you must reheat food to 165 degrees f or discard food. Then you will start the cooling process over if you choose to reheat food. Once food reaches 70 degrees F ,then you have 4 hours to get food to 41 degrees F.
