  • General Comments that relate to this Inspection
    Hand sink stockedDishwasher @ 100ppm chlorine-test strips availableSanitizer bucket @ 100ppm chlorineSlicer clean*Reviewed slicer cleaning procedure with operator. Procedure ok. Reminded operator that slicer should be washed; rinsed and sanitized within 4 hours of use.Facility cleanMake up unit on line @ 40F-ranch @ 40F-beef @38FHot holding ok-beans @ 155F+-soup @ 150FWalk in @ 39F-all cooled items other than those noted above 40F or below-raw product (and raw shell eggs) stored correctlyGarbage enclosure cleanNo sign of pestsAll food product stored off floor**Discussed tong usage with operator. Handling of raw product ok - separate depending on product type. However; one set of tongs is used for placement of poultry on grill and removal of finished product. Tongs should be separated between raw and ready to eat usage.**Cooling practice is to place stock pot of soup into ice bath for unspecified amount of time; then place in pans and placed in walk in. Time in ice bath for batches observed out of temp was approximately 1 hour. Depth of product in pans was between 3 and 4 inches. Ice bath time should be sufficient to bring the product temperature down to 75F or so - stirring and ice replacement will assist this amount of time. Product depth should be limited to 2 inches in each pan to increase surface area and speed cooling. All products must be cooled from 140F to 40F within 4 hours. **To properly accomplish this process; temperatures should be taken periodically to ensure proper cooling times. A bi-metal; stem thermometer with the capability of measure between 0F and 212F should be used for this and be readily available to all cooks **
