Ensure that cooked hot potentially hazardous food must be cooled down from 60C to 20C within 2 hours and from 20C to 4C within 4 hours. It is recommended to use shallow pans/small containers or stir the food to achieve even cooling of the food. Using deep buckets can prevent the food in the middle and bottom of the bucket to cool down to 4C or less which may result in bacterial growth or toxin production in the food over time.
