| No violation noted during this evaluation. | 03/01/2016 | Inspection | All corrections done from last inspection. No violations noted at time of inspection. New tiles on floor, shelves done in back room. Cooks are serve safe trained. All food temperatures are in acceptable ranges. Food handling good. Discussed hot holding temperatures and reheat. And we discussed cooling large amounts of food. Now has dented can policy. Operators thermometer calibrated and accurate today. Free Chlorine residual is at 1.8 ppm. Operation reports up to date. |

01/21/2016 | Inspection | Discussed cooling techniques and provided education to operator and staff. Cooling potentially hazardous foods must use a rapid cooling technique such as shallow pans, ice bath, ice wands, freezer. Cool un covered to allow for quicker cooling.Cooked foods must cool from 120 to 70 degrees F in two hours or less, then from 70 to below 45 degrees in an additional 4 hours. total cooling time would be 6 hours. All corrections to be addressed in two weeks. 518 793-3893. All hot and cold temperature and food handling acceptable. Discussed pumpkin pie must be kept in cooler below 45 degrees. Fruit pies ok. (operator would like info on food service training in this area) |
