How do you properly thaw food out?
What should you not do to thaw food out?
#1 way- Refrigerator-overnight/24 hours
#2 way- cold water- run over product, not just sitting in water
#3 way- microwave- not ideal, starts to cook meat
DO NOT LET IT SIT ON COUNTER ALL DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ways to prevent Food Brown illness? Refrigerator less than 40 degrees F
Proper cooking- thermometer used properly
Proper hot holding- above 140 degrees F, not in danger zone for more than 4 hours

Why is fresh meat a good medium for bacterial growth?
FAT TOM
F- meat has an abundance source of nutrients-especially protein
A- pH of meat 5.6 - not optimum but within range for pathogens
T&T- *controlling points* stay out of danger zone, 4 hours critical
O- various oxygen conditions available in meat (packaging)
M- meat has a high Aw, well above the limit for pathogens
