Inadequate Facilities/Cooling Methods

The kitchen should be equipped with a greater number of chill sticks/cooling wands. The veal stock that was prepared on 9/2/09 was at a temperature of 47 to 52 degrees F on the morning of 9/3/09. It appears that the stock was not properly or sufficiently cooled before it was placed into the Lexan cambros and stored within the refrigerator. If Lexan cambros are to be utilized to store the product the product must be cooled to a lower temperature before it is placed into the cambros and walk-in. Staff should also review proper cooling methods. No other stocks were observed to be out of temperature.
