Cross-contamination
Result when pathogens spread from one surface or food to another.
Result when pathogens spread from one surface or food to another.
Cross-contamination
Result when food has remained too long in the temperature danger zone, 41°F to 135°F (5°C to 57°C), 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 any time it is cooked to the wrong internal temperature, held at the wrong temperature, or cooled or reheated incorrectly.

This type of thermometer can check temperatures from 0°F to 220°F (-18°C to 104°C) through its metal stem, which makes it useful for checking both hot 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 stem into the food up to the dimple.

Ice-point method
To calibrate, or adjust, a thermometer based on the temperature at which water freezes in order to ensure its accuracy.

Boiling
Describes the point where water is hot enough that bubbles form and rise to the top as vapor (steam)
