.
It was discussed that the Operator will begin a record sheet recording the date, time and temperature that non-sushi rice is placed into the insulated inserts upon cooking and will monitor the rice temperature at least every 2 hours. If the rice cannot be maintained at or above 60 degrees C, then you must use a hot-holding unit that will maintain its' internal temperature at or above 60 degrees C. This will be checked during each routine inspection.
.
Operator had staff reheat the rice that was below 60 degrees C internally to at least 74 degrees C before placing it into the insulated container again.
