Notes: 1. During the September 2015 inspection the PIC stated that no leftovers are saved from any meal. A ziplock bag of steakups and plates of other warm food observed packaged and sitting out in the rear of the kitchen. The inspector wants to know what is to be done with the food. It can be saved for later use, but must be cooled down properly, and be kept under refrigeration. 2. Bleach water bucket in the sanitizer bucket was mixed too strong at 200 ppm+. Utilize the chlorine test kit for proper mixing of bleach water at 50-100 ppm. 3. Make sure all dirty dishes are washed at the end of each meal. Multiple dirty dishes observed stored under the steam table. This serves as an attractant for pests. PIC stated these dishes are not used, but they must be cleaned and be stored protected if kept onsite. 4. Holes, cracks, and crevices under the 3-vat sink need to be sealed up. A new ice machine was just installed that takes up a much smaller space in the corner, exposing areas that need to be resealed and recoved.

Separating food into smaller thinner portions 3. Using rapid chill cooling equipment 4. Stirring the food in a container placed in an ice water bath 5. Using containers that facilitate heat transfer 6. Adding ice as an ingredient 7. Any other method that can effectively accomplish cooling.
