Questions with Correct Answers 100% Verified and
Graded A+ 2024
How can you prevent cross-contamination? - Correct Answer Using separate knives,
cutting boards. Cleaning surfaces between use, prep raw and ready-to-eat food at
different times, buy prepared food
How can you prevent time-temperature abuse? - Correct Answer Monitoring; tools;
recording; time and temperature control; corrective actions
What is the correct way to use and maintain thermometers? - Correct Answer Cleaning
and sanitizing, calibration, accuracy, checking temperatures
Flow of Food - Correct Answer Purchasing, Receiving, Storing, Preparation, Cooking,
Holding, Cooling, Reheating, Serving.
bimetallic stemmed thermometer - Correct Answer measures temperature through a
metal probe with a sensor toward the end, measures from 0F-220F, only one that can
be calibrated, has a dimple to mark the end of the sensing area, needs accuracy within
2 degrees
thermocouples and thermistors - Correct Answer Good for checking temps of thick AND
thin food
Measure through a metal probe, and displays temp digitally
Do not have to insert stem as deeply
Often have different types of probes
Infrared thermometer - Correct Answer Use laser technology to produce accurate
temperature reading of food and equipment surfaces. They reduce the risk of cross-
contamination and damage to food because they do not require contact with food.
Calibrating Thermometers - Correct Answer Boiling point method-Adjust thermometer to
the temperature at which water boils
Ice point method-Adjusting thermometer to the temperature at which water freezes
immersion probes - Correct Answer use these to check the temperature of liquids, like
soups, sauces, and frying oil
surface probe - Correct Answer measures temps on flat surfaces like grills
penetration probe (thermocouple) - Correct Answer measure internal temp of food
Air probes - Correct Answer Use these to check the temperature inside coolers and
ovens
