    Chili in the walk in cooler was being cooled from ambient temperature in a tightly wrapped container. Baked potatoes were being cooled in a plastic bag. Potentially hazardous foods must be cooled rapidly (from 135 to 70 in 2 hours and 70 to 41 in an additional 4 hours or from an ambient temperature to 41F in 4 hours). To speed the cooling process do not tightly wrap food. Place potatoes in a shallow pan and monitor temperatures. , Test strips for measuring sanitizer concentrations were not available. Sanitizer concentrations must be made accurately and tested. Provide test strips., A thermometer was not provided in the front reach in cooler. A thermometer is needed to verify the units capabilities. Provide a thermometer for each cooler., The front reach in coolers were not capable of holding food at the required temperatures. Service these units, repair or replace as necessary to hold food at or below 41f., Serving utensils in the front reach in cooler were stored in standing water.
