Proper cooling of items can be accomplished by: 1. Putting items into shallow pans and using an ice water bath. 2. Using an ice wand or other utensil and stirring the product frequently. 3. Monitoring the temperature of the product throughout both processes to limit the time the product is in the temperature danger zone. ,
