Thawing Food
The Four Acceptable Methods for Thawing Food
In a refrigerator, at
41F (5C) or lower
Submerged under running
potable water, at a temperature
of 70F (21C) or lower
In a microwave oven, if the food
will be cooked immediately
after thawing
As part of the cooking
process
8-3
Preparing Specific Food: Salads Containing PHF’s
When preparing salads containing
potentially hazardous ingredients:

Make sure leftover ingredients (i.e.,
pasta, chicken, potatoes) have been
handled safely by ensuring they were:

Cooked, held, and cooled properly

Stored for less than 7 days

Prepare product in small batches

Refrigerate ingredients until the point
they are needed

Chill all ingredients and utensils prior to
using them
8-4
Preparing Specific Food: Eggs and Egg Mixtures
When preparing eggs and egg
mixtures:

Handle pooled eggs (if allowed)
with care:

Cook promptly after mixing or
store at 41°F (5°C) or lower

Clean and sanitize containers
between batches

Use pasteurized shell eggs or egg
products when preparing dishes
requiring little or no cooking (i.e.,
hollandaise sauce)

Promptly clean and sanitize
equipment and utensils used to
prepare eggs
8-5
Preparing Specific Food: Eggs and Egg Mixtures
When preparing eggs for high risk
populations:

Pasteurized eggs or egg products must
be used when dishes will be served raw
or undercooked

Unpasteurized shell eggs may be used if
the dish will be cooked all the way
through (i.e., omelets, cakes)

If shell eggs will be pooled for a recipe
they must be pasteurized
8-6
Preparing Specific Food: Produce
When preparing produce:

Wash it thoroughly under running
water before cutting, cooking, or
combining with other ingredients

Use water slightly warmer than the
temperature of the produce

Pull leafy greens apart and rinse
thoroughly


to prepare produce
8-7
Preparing Specific Food: Produce
When preparing produce: continued

Prevent contact with surfaces
exposed to raw meat or poultry


Prepare produce away from raw
meat, poultry, eggs, and cooked
and ready-to-eat food
Clean and sanitize the workspace and
all utensils used during preparation

Preparing Specific Food: Produce
When preparing produce: continued

When soaking or storing produce in
standing water or an ice water slurry
do not mix:

Different items

Multiple batches of the same item

Refrigerate and hold cut melons at
41°F (5°C) or lower

Do not add sulfites

Do not serve raw seed sprouts to high
risk populations
8-9
Preparing Specific Food: Fresh Juice
To package fresh juice for later sale:

A variance is required from the regulatory
agency

The juice must be treated (e.g., pasteurized)
according to an approved HACCP plan

As an alternative, the juice must contain a
warning label indicating the product has not
been pasteurized and may contain harmful
bacteria.

When cooking potentially
hazardous food, the internal
portion must:

Reach the required minimum internal
temperature

Hold that temperature for a specific
amount of time

When including previously cooked,
potentially hazardous ingredients
in the dish:
Cook ingredients to a minimum
internal temperature of:
165°F (74°C) for 15 seconds
When including raw
potentially hazardous
ingredients in the dish:
Cook raw ingredients to their required
minimum internal temperature
8-14

in a microwave:
(eggs, poultry, fish, and meat)
Minimum Internal Cooking Temperature:

8-15
Cooking Potentially Hazardous Food in a Microwave
When cooking food in a microwave:

Cover it to prevent the surface from
drying out

Rotate or stir it halfway through the
cooking process to distribute the heat
more evenly

Let it stand for at least 2 minutes after
cooking to let the product temperature
equalize

Check the temperature in several places
to ensure that it is cooked through

Cooling Food: Prior to Cooling
Before cooling food, start by
reducing its size:

Cut larger items into smaller pieces

Divide large containers of food into
smaller containers or shallow pans
8-26
Cooling Food: Methods for Cooling Food
Safe methods for cooling food:


Place it in an ice-water bath

Place containers into a sink or
large pot filled with ice water

Stir the food frequently
Stir it with an ice paddle

Food cools faster when placed
in an ice-water bath and stirred
with an ice paddle
8-27
Cooling Food: Methods for Cooling Food
Safe methods for cooling food: continued


Place it in a blast chiller

Blast chillers blast cold air
across food at high speeds to
remove heat

They are useful for cooling
large items
Place it in a tumble chiller

Tumble chillers tumble bags of hot
food in cold water

They are useful for cooling thick food
8-28
Cooling Food: Methods for Cooling Food
Safe methods for cooling food: continued


Add ice or cold water as an ingredient

The recipe is prepared with less water than
required

Cold water or ice is then added later to cool
the product and provide the remaining water
Use a steam-jacketed kettle (if properly
equipped)

Run cold water through the jacket to cool the
food
8-29
Reheating Potentially Hazardous Food
Food reheated for immediate service:

Can be served at any temperature if it was
properly cooked and cooled
Potentially hazardous food reheated for
hot holding:

Must be reheated to an internal temperature of
165°F (74°C) for 15 seconds within 2 hours

Discard it if it has not reached this
temperature within 2 hours
