Question

Answer 1

The soup must cool from 140 degrees F to 70 degrees F in two hours and from 70 degrees F to 40 degrees F in no more than four hours, this is called the two-stage cooling method. In order to do this, it is important to have a food thermometer to measure the temperature of the food as it cools.
