MODULE 2: FOOD AND SAFETY
Understanding of cooling chicken stock to the correct temperature.
Even using the best food safety methods in your
food preparation cannot always protect you from foodborne illness. If
you don’t cool or reheat your food properly, you risk infection caused by
bacteria breeding in the temperature danger zone—between 40°F and
140°F (4°C and 60°C). Cool your food quickly and completely to avoid
these problems, and use a quality thermometer to verify that you’ve
achieved safe temperature levels.
