General CommentsDiscussed lots of education with PIC. Discussed on time and holding foods on time once they are fully cooked/reheated and ensuring times are written down when they are removed from temperature control or if hot holding equipment cannot maintain foods at 135F degrees or above due to lack of control of burners on hot hold table to prevent scorching foods. Discussed handwashing setup and PIC advised that the hot water gauge at the sink urn will be monitored to ensure that required water temps are adhered to and that handwashing is able to be done as required.
