CHAPTER 8 THE FLOW OF FOOD: PREPARATION Flashcards
Slacking
This is the gradual thawing of frozen food to prep it for deep frying.
Pooled Eggs
They are eggs that are cracked open and combined in a container. We handle them with care because bacteria from one egg can be transferred to the rest.
Variance
This is a document issued by your regulatory authority that allows a regulatory requirement to be waived or changed.
Minimum Internal Temperature
This is the only way to reduce pathogens in food to safe levels is by cooking it to the correct internal temperature and then hold it at that temperature for a specific amount of time.
Partial Cooking
partially cooking food during prep and then finish cooking it right before service.
When serving a high-risk population, never serve:
You must never serve raw seed sprouts, raw or undercooked eggs, meat, or seafood, unpasteurized milk or juice.
Customer Advisory
You Customer Advisory must include disclosure and reminder if served less than minimum internal temperature.
Partial cooking guidelines
The partial cooking guidelines include;
First: don’t cook food longer than 60 minutes during initial cooking
Second: cool food immediately
Third: freeze/refrigerate at 41*F or lower
Fourth: heat food to min internal temp
Fifth: cool food if not served immediately
Temperature Requirements for Cooling Food
You must cool the food items from 135F to 70F within 2 hours then cool 70F to 41F or lower in next 4 hours
Temperature Requirements for Reheating Food (TCS and Commercially processed)
You must hold internal temp of 165F for 15 secs within 2 hours. Reheat ready to eat food to 135F
Method one for thawing: running water
For the running water method you submerge the food items under running with drinkable water at 70*F or lower and use a clean sink
Method two for thawing: microwave
To thaw food items the microwave method you microwave them and then they must be put into an oven immediately.
Method three for thawing: refrigeration
For Refrigeration method you thaw the food in a cooler, keep the items temperature at 41*F or lower.
Method four for thawing: cooking
Usually items Like frozen hamburgers and you cook them quick enough from the frozen state to pass through the temp danger zone without harm.
165° for 15 seconds
Usually stuff like poultry stuffing made with fish, pasta, meat, poultry stuffed meat, seafood, and poultry
