When cooling down warm/hot hashbrowns after they have become hydrated, remove them from boxes and spread them on hotel pans or sheet pans with 2 to 4 inch maximum food depth. Stir cooling hashbrowns periodically to allow for better heat transfer. Cool hashbrowns from 135F to 70F within 2 hours and from 70F to 45F or less within 4 additional hours. Use calibrated thermometer to check hashbrowns for proper cool down. 1.0

COMMENT ON MINIMIZING BARE HAND CONTACT WITH FOODS: Whenever possible, avoid handling foods with bare hands (especially ready-to-eat foods that will not be cooked before served to customer) by using clean gloves, utensils, tongs, deli paper, scoops with handles, spoons, or other approved food dispensing utensil...Also minimize contact with raw meats, raw fish/seafood and raw chicken by using gloves and/or dispensing utensils.

General Comments
Comment about handwashing issues: Remember that when gloved hands are contaminated after handling soiled dishes, raw eggs, etc., gloves must be discarded and then hands must be washed before putting on new gloves. Hands must be washed at approved handwashing sink using soap and warm water and paper towels to dry hands (do not use cloth towel to dry hands).
