Receiving & StorageQuestion 401 of 500
Between rushes, where should the scoop for the ice machine be kept?
a.Buried handle-down in the ice so it stays cold
b.Resting on the top of the ice machine's lid
c.Hanging from the apron string of the bar back
d.In a clean, protected location outside the bin
Explanation
An ice scoop is stored in a clean, protected location outside the bin, because a scoop left in the ice collects hand contact and dust and a handle buried in the ice contaminates every cube it touches. The machine lid and an apron are neither clean nor protected.
