The Flow of Food: An Introduction
5-2
Apply Your Knowledge: Test Your Food Safety Knowledge 1. True or False: Chicken held at an internal temperature of
125°F (52°C) has been temperature abused
2. True or False: Infrared thermometers are best for measuring the internal temperature of food
3. True or False: When checking the temperature of a roast using a bimetallic stemmed thermometer, only the tip of the thermometer stem should be inserted into the product
4. True or False: A thermometer calibrated by the boiling-point method must be set to 135°F (57°C), after being placed into the boiling water
5. True or False: Washing and rinsing a cutting board will prevent it from cross-contaminating the next product placed on it

The Flow of Food
To keep food safe: Prevent cross-contamination Prevent time-temperature
abuse
5-4
Preventing Cross-Contamination
Create physical barriers between food products: Assign specific equipment to each type
of food Clean and sanitize work surfaces,
equipment, and utensils after each task
5-5
Preventing Cross-Contamination
Create procedural barriers between food products: Prepare raw meat, fish, and poultry and
ready-to-eat food at different times (when using the same prep table)
Purchase ingredients that require minimal preparation
5-6
Preventing Time-Temperature Abuse
This includes: Minimizing the time food spends in
the temperature danger zone Determining the best way to monitor
time and temperature Making thermometers available Regularly recording temperatures and
the times they are taken

Thermocouples and Thermistors Measure temperature through a metal
probe or sensing area Display results on a digital readout Often come with interchangeable probes

Temperature-Measuring Devices
Infrared Thermometers Used to measure the surface
temperature of food and equipment Must be held as close to the product as
possible Remove barriers between thermometer
and product Follow manufacturers’ guidelines

Calibrating Thermometers
Calibration Adjusting a thermometer in order
to get an accurate reading
Two methods Boiling-point method Ice-point method
5-12
Calibrating Thermometers
Boiling-Point Method1. Bring clean tap water to a boil
2. Submerge the sensing area of the thermometer stem or probe in the water for thirty seconds
3. Hold the calibration nut and rotate the thermometer head until it reads 212°F (100°C)
Note: The boiling point of water varies depending upon your elevation

Calibrating Thermometers
Ice-Point Method
1. Fill a large container with crushed ice and water
2. Submerge the thermometer stem or probe in the water for thirty seconds
3. Hold the calibration
nut and rotate the thermometer head until it reads 32˚F (0˚C)
5-14
General Thermometer Guidelines
When using thermometers: Keep thermometers and their
storage cases clean Calibrate them regularly to
ensure accuracy Never use glass thermometers
to monitor food temperature Insert the thermometer stem or
probe into thickest part of product (usually the center)
Wait for the thermometer reading to steady before recording the temperature of a food item
5-15
Apply Your Knowledge: Calibrate the Thermometer
Put the steps for calibrating a thermometer in the proper order:
A. Rotate the head of the thermometer until it reads 32F (0C)
B. Submerge the sensing area of the thermometer stem or probe, and wait for the reading to steady
C. Fill a container with crushed ice and clean tap water
D. Hold the adjusting nut with a wrench or other tool
