Provided by Tucs Equipment 1 CEU available Summary: Welcome & Introduction (5 minutes) Learning Objective: Understand why efficient cooling is critical in commercial kitchens. Topics: Importance of cooling hot food safely and efficiently. Risks of using improper cooling methods. Cooling Options Overview (10 minutes) Learning Objective: Identify the pros and cons of water baths (batch chillers) vs. blast chillers. Topics: Why walk-in coolers are not ideal for hot food. How water baths and blast chillers differ in cooling mechanisms (thermal conductivity of water vs. air). Energy efficiency, space, and operational considerations. Choosing the Right Method for Your Operation (15 minutes) Learning Objective: Match cooling methods to specific food products and kitchen needs. Topics: Flexibility of blast chillers for diverse food types (pasta, sauces, meats). Batch chillers for sealed products and shelf life extension. Space-saving setups: stacking equipment, mobile carts, and installation tips. Enhancing Efficiency with Automation (10 minutes) Learning Objective: Learn how automated systems can improve labor efficiency and consistency. Topics: Features of automated blast chillers and water baths. Case example: Labor savings and food safety improvements in St. Paul Schools. Summary & Takeaways (5 minutes) Learning Objective: Consolidate key insights for making informed equipment decisions. Topics: When to use each method. Long-term cost savings […]
