Cross Contaimination
Results when pathogens spread from one surface or food to another.
Time Temperature Abuse
Results when food has remained too long in the temperature danger zone, 41 to 135, which is the range in which pathogens grow well; the longer food stays in the temperature danger zone, the more time pathogens have to grow. In addition, food is time-temperature abused anytime it is cooked to the wrong internal temperature, held at the wrong temperature, or cooled or reheated incorrectly.
Bimetallic Stemmed Thermometer
This type of thermometer can check temperatures from 0 to 220 through its metal stem, which makes it useful for checking both how and cold types of food. The sensing area of the thermometer goes from the tip of the stem to the dimple; when checking temperature, insert the probe into the thickest up to the center.
