HACCPQuestion 184 of 240
A pizzeria makes a big batch of tomato sauce to cool overnight. Which method best speeds safe cooling?
a.Leaving it in one deep pot on the counter
b.Dividing it into shallow pans in an ice-water bath
c.Covering it tightly and leaving it out
d.Placing the hot pot directly in a crowded walk-in
Explanation
Dividing food into shallow pans and using an ice-water bath increases surface area and speeds cooling so it passes through the danger zone quickly. A deep pot or a crowded walk-in cools too slowly and lets bacteria grow.
