Storage Problems at​ Enrico's A shipment was delivered to​ Enrico's Italian Restaurant.​ Alyce, who was in charge of​ receiving, inspected the shipment and immediately proceeded to store the items.​ First, she carried the bags of shrimp to the freezer. She wondered who had left the freezer without making sure the door was completely shut. Alyce then loaded a case of sour cream on the dolly and wheeled it over to the​ reach-in cooler. When she opened the​ cooler, she noticed that it was tightly packed.​ However, she was able to squeeze the case into a spot on the top shelf.​ Next, she wheeled several cases of fresh ground beef and fresh salmon over to the​ walk-in cooler. Alyce pushed through the cold curtains in the cooler and bumped into a stockpot of soup stored on the floor. She moved the soup to a storage shelf and then made a space for the ground beef on a shelf next to the door. Alyce was able to put the salmon on the shelf above the soup. Then she spent a few minutes talking to​ Mary, who had just cleaned the shelving in the unit and was lining it with new aluminum foil. What storage errors​ occurred?

Do not overload coolers or freezers. Storing too many food items prevents good airflow and makes the units work harder to stay cold. Consider using cold curtains in walk-in coolers and freezers to help maintain temperatures. Use open shelving. Do not line shelves with aluminum foil, sheet pans, or paper. This restricts circulation of cold air in the unit. Monitor food temperatures in coolers regularly. Randomly sample the temperature of stored food to verify that the cooler is working. Defrost freezers regularly. They are more efficient when free of frost. Move food to another freezer while defrosting.

What is the proper discard date to mark on a dish with combined​ food, such as soup made with multiple​ pre-cooked items?

Earliest​ use-by date of the combined food items

Where is the best place to put an​ air-temperature measuring device in a​ cooler?

Why is it unacceptable to store too many food items in coolers or​ freezers?

What is the primary reason why food should not be stored in lockers or dressing​ rooms?

January 1

Where should​ meat, poultry,​ seafood, and dairy items be stored in a refrigerator​ unit?

Raw meat, poultry and fish in sealed containers to stop them touching or dripping onto other foods. Raw meats should always be stored at the bottom of your fridge to prevent cross-contamination. Ensure that each item is wrapped or in a sealed container so that it doesn't come into contact with other foods.

A Second Chance ​Ginny's Bistro, a longtime fixture on the food scene just outside of a large Midwestern​ city, had finally completed a major renovation of its kitchen. The bistro had been open for 44​ years, and, except for some repairs along the​ way, not much had been done to improve the facilities in the back of the house.

He set out to do a complete food storage review. Chase and his staff were determined to start fresh and ensure that they followed good food storage guidelines as they prepared for the reopening of their kitchen. List some things that Chase and his staff should consider as they conduct a review of the new storage area.
