General CommentsRemember when cooling foods it is important to ensure that you reach 41 degrees within 6 hours. 135 degrees to 70 degrees within 2 hrs and 135 to 41 not to exceed 6 hrs. Portion foods into shallow pans instead of the deep dishes and put them in the freezer or the WIC uncovered to ensure they are getting the proper air flow to reach the proper temperature. Check routinely to avoid the foods from freezing if placed in the freezer.
