MUT coolers are holding much better temperatures today. The beansprouts were on ice, and water was added to help touch more surface area of the dish.
Roastbeef is not being double panned.
Make sure to keep portioned sides in either the bottom of the MUT coolers or the WIC during slow periods. Sides should be stored elsewhere for as long as possible for safer cold holding temperatures during the warm weather months. A technician is coming in today to adjust the thermostat on that unit.
