Any questions can be directed to this office via email or telephone. Note: Discussed proper cooling methods that must be followed when cooling all potentially hazardous foods at facility. Entire mass of foods must cool from 120*F to 70*F in 2 hours and from 70*F to 45*F in 4 hours. Large volumes of food must be cooled in shallow panned with depth less than 4 inches, and kept uncovered in refrigerator. Once cooled to 45*F the food items can then be covered. Note: While checking the sushi rice pH meter it was observed that the meter readings were not stabile and values fluctuated dramatically up and down. The meter was checked against a known calibration fluid (7.0), and the values continued to fluctuate. Over time the meter stabilized and a pH of the sushi rice could be obtained that indicated a value less than 4.3. It is evident that the meter needs maintenance or needs replacing. Highly suggest cleaning unit as specified in instruction manual, and replace if cleaning does not improve readings.
