FF&E trust account, at the City's sole discretion, for the purpose
of purchasing and installing the portion of the FF&E which
Concessionaire has failed to install.
C. Cooperation with Contractor. Concessionaire agrees to

($100,000,000) . Concessionaire shall have the option in lieu of
providing the letter of credit, to make a cash deposit with City
in the full amount of $2.3 million. In the event Concessionaire
selects the cash depos i t method, Ci ty shall hold the funds in
trust in the same manner as the $2.0 million is held in paragraph
5D, provided that there shall be a separate accounting for the
general construction funds and the FF&E funds. Ci ty shall
disburse from the $2.3 million upon receipt of an invoice from
Concessionaire or a third party supplier via Concessionaire for
FF&E, provided such FF&E has been certified by City's Architects
to meet or exceed the food service specifications and design
criteria prepared by City's Architects (and reviewed by
Concessionaire). In the event that Architect has certified to City

SERVICE AMERICA CORPORATION
FOOD SERVICE EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
MIAMI BEACH CONVENTION CENTER
All Food Service Equipment is susceptible to failure or breakdown.
Extremes of temperature, humidity and lonq hours of operation
eventually take their toll. Although a maintenance proqram will
not eliminate equipment breakdowns, it can reduce the likelihood
of disruptive failures and extend the usable life of all
equipment.
Service America will be committed to a continuous maintenance
program in the Miami Beach Convention Center with the following
goals:
I. To eliminate disruptive equipment failures and
enhance the operation of day to day business
activities.
II. To maintain and exceed internal and governmental
sanitary codes.
III. To extend the useful and effective life of the
equipment program. .
IV. To enhance an equipment replacement program and
allocate "equipment replacement funds" properly and
e~fectively.
The key elements in the Service America Food Service Equipment
Maintenance Program is followinq:
Planning - through scheduling and record keeping
Inspections - through self-inspections with internal and
external maintenance and repair actions
Designated Responsibilities - by assigning the Warehouse
Manager who operates the labor crews and ultimately reports
to the food service General Manaqer.
The following details, within each major category, the specific
actions required to accomplish the Maintenance Program goals and
the forms that will be incorporated.

Planning
Record keeping - Each individual piece of equipment will
have a detailed "Equipment Record Card", attached at the
end of this section.
The "Equipment Record Card" will detail all the following
information categories:
1. Equipment - This identifies the item such as
compressor, range, hot water heater, or food
warmer, ect.
10.
11.
12.
2. Location - The site of the equipment within the
building, such, as kitchen, concession stand number,
ect,.
3. Inventory No. - This is the number assigned by Service
America to the equipment.
4. System - Equipment is many times a part of a system.
An example of this is that a compressor serves the
reach-in refrigerator located in the kitchen.
5.
Date Purchased - This is the invoice date of
equipment.
Date Installed - This is the date equipment was put in
place in your facility.
6.
7.
Manufacturer - The name of the equipment producer is
listed here.
~
8.
Serial No. - The identification number of the
equipment, assigned by the manufacturer.
9.
Model No. - The manufacturer's model identification
number.
Purchased from - This will be the distributor or
dealer from whom the equipment was purchased.
Energy Characteristics of the Equipment - This
information is usually found on the equipment data
plate or in the owner's manual.
Warranty - The warranties provided by the equipment
manufacturer.
13. Service and Parts Manual Location - This readily
identifies the whereabouts of these critical
documents.

14. Maintenance Checklist Location - This will be kept in
the warehouse office.
15. Preventive Maintenance Frequency - Assign designated
frequency.
16. Spare Parts - This list would include those parts
frequently replaced and those that might be kept in
inventory on premises.
17. Additional Information - Included will be any other
information about the equipment which would assist us
in maintenance planning.
The "Maintenance Checklist" is used to review the
information provided by the equipment manufacturers or
contractors. Most manufacturers furnish recommended
maintenance schedules with their equipment along with
maintenance manuals and parts catalogs. The information will
be prepared on a form called the Maintenance Checklist,
attached at the end of this section. The following notes
describe the items appearing in the attached form.
1. Equipment - Identification of the item, such as
compressor range, hot water heater, etc.
2. Inventory No. - The number Service America assigns to
the equipment.
3. Location - The site of the item on your premises.
4. Frequency of maintenance tasks. In this example, the
tasks are to be performed daily, monthly and semi-
annually and are listed in the appropriate columns.
5. Frequency interval and suggested abbreviations to
identify columns.
The "Record of Maintenance services" is an important tool
in our preventive maintenance program it is a record of the
services performed. This not only provides a history of
tasks performed but also acts as a guide in:
o determining the spare parts that must be kept on
hand
o projecting costs of parts and labor for repairs
o adjusting maintenance schedules and
o purchasing new or replacement equipment.

abbreviations for bimonthly and semi-annually.
6. Parts Costs - Dollar amount for parts and supplies
used.
7. Mechanic - Name of serviceman or company performing
the maintenance.
8. Time - Amount of time spent performing maintenance.
Scheduling - Each individual piece of equipment will be
included in a maintenance inspection schedule. As detailed
in the individual equipment's Maintenance Checklist and the
Record of Maintenance Services, a specific time frame will
be chosen which best suits its particular function. The
time frames will be weekly, bi-monthly, monthly, semi-
annually or annually.
Inspections
Inspections are completed as the overall "checks and
balances" actions in the maintenance program. These
inspections will be performed by management personnel on a
regularly scheduled basis. In certain heavily used and
difficult to reach pieces of equipment outside services
will be incorporated.
Attached at the end of this chapter are the "food service
equipment inspection forms II and "self inspection forms".
This Food Service Equipment Maintenance Program is an activity
which is performed above and beyond the normal day to day
equipment care procedures. The purpose of the program is to
enhance and document our procedures in the continual goal of
maintaining the highest levels of professional food service
management at the Miami Beach Convention Center.

Mr. Tom Prytherch
Office Of The Purchasing Agent
Miami Florida 33139
Dear Mr. Prytherch,
The standards emp10yeed by Service America for sanitation
and equipment maintenance are derived from the National Restaurant
Association guide lines, (attached).
Service America subscribes to all of these intents, and
purposes in all of its ope at ions and employes extensive training
programs to execute compre, ,nsive sanitation and maintenance programs.
Strict emphasis is placed on a "Clean As You Go" philosophy, with
special detailing of each indivua1 piece of equipment at the end of
each event day. IE all food contact surfaces grills, roller grills,
and alike are cleaned and sanitized thru out the business day, oven
cavities cleaned after each use day,dish machines, glass washers
and alike maintain automatic detergent and final rinse additive
equipment that announce to the operator by electric alarm any need
for refills of these chemicals, at the end of each meal period the
holding tanks are thourg1y.rinsed and filter screens are cleaned
and replaced for the next use. .
Preventive maintenance/repair programs will continue as
is presently done in order to operate at optimum efficency.
Refigeration condesing units cleaned every two weeks for
units that operate on an on going basis. those pieces that are to
be out of service for more than 48 hours are thoroug1y cleaned and
checked at restart. (Service America has and will continue to
cooperate with the Directors energy conservation policy wherever
possible by turning non essential refigeration off during down
periods,between shows).
Oiling and adjusting of all motorized equipment is done
on a as usage requires basis, as the Center is not a daily on going
operation many pieces of equipment set idle for long periods of time
(IE convections ovens, mixers, slicers, food processor refigerators
etc.) these are oiled and/or adjusted and checked for optimium
operating ranges two to three days in advance of expected use, any
defficencies noted are immediately brought to the attention of the
respective service company employed at that time to render whatever'
corrective action necessary to bring the particular unit on line.
The maintenance currently desired or required is provided by the
following companies:

Service Americas commitment of capital to maintain equipment
at its optimium operating capacity has thru October of this year
alone exceeded the budgeted amount by in excess of $5,000.00 for
a total of $12,485.00. And nJ pressure what so ever is brought to
bear on any unit manager to ~void repairs oc preventive maintenance
in lew of posting higher pre 'its in any given month or year.
During the installation of new equipment both manual and
mechanical, a complete and comprehensive guide to operation, sani-
tation and maintenance will be developed by type and catagory using
both the N.A.R.'S and the manufactures recommendations. An initialed
time log and history will be maintained on each piece of equipment
at least monthly, for the term of the contract. All of the above
referenced documents will be be available for review at Service
Americas offices within the Center.
Additionally sanitarians with the Department of Business
Regulation, periodically inspect the premises of the Center, with
the intent of helping management maintain the integerty of the
facilities in regard to sanitation of the equipment and their
respective enviroments plus their state of repair. These inspections
are both welcome and usefu11, and also insure the City of Miami
Beach that Service America is well within acceptable standards
mandated by the state of Florida and Dade County.
As in the past, as these documents are produced facimiles
thereof will be forwarded to your office for your files.
At least 30 days after installation of each piece or class
of equipment you may expect to recieve a complete detail of standards
including Service Americas inventory tag number and the Cities corre-
sponding number if any has been attached by that time, at this writing
some classes or individual pieces could be as far from actual insta-
llation as 3 years into the future.
We trust that the above can be referanced to contractual
resolve, thru all concerned parties now and hereafter.

This section of the manual provides basic Informallon on the selecllon. v;'crallon and maintenance.of
food service equipment and the layout of your kitchen.
Equipment used for storage, preparation and service of food is a major ponion of your restaurant's
investment. These appliances must operate long hours, perhaps around the clock. They may operate
at elevated temperatures or welJ below freezing. Equipment breakdown lr':1pacts the operation
immediately with menu changes, food spoilage, waste and dolJar losses
Selection of new or replacement equipment is a complex decision which must consider many
variables: intended use. energy sources, available space. traffic flow. reg~latory codes. available
personnel and, of course, cost. AIJ of these and more will affect your cho:ce. ......
Equipment catalogues are avatlable from manufacturers and distributors. consulting services can
provide advice; and major exhibits. such as the National Restaurant Association Show(s). provide
opponunities to view equipment and compare characteristics. Ultimatel~. you must match the
machine to the job you want it to do.

CUSTOM VS. STOCK EQUIPMENT
.' G-
One of the basIC decisions to be made In equipment purchase is the choICe between stock equipment
or custom.built items. At first glance. buying "off the shelf" may seem to be the beller bargain since
custom items may cost as much as 50 percent more than their stock counterparts. However, in the
man, cases where stock appliances are not avaJlable with the needed size, shape, power, capacity,
etc.. custom.built units may be the best buy despite a higher price.
Obv':ously, if you can use standard equipment without special modifications and save money on the
purchase. you should do so. Most standard manufactured pieces come with a variety of options
ava:lable to help fit your needs. Thus. a standard worktable may be sufficient for your operation: but if
you ",'ill need a larger size. more under-table storage comPtrtments or an unusual shape, then a
custom fabrication should be your choice.
The key to this selection is to KNOW what you expect the equipment to do for you. Will standard.
sized drawers accommodate your utensils, or do ,'ou need special storage for special tools? Will your
freezers and refrigerators be used for storage of prechilled foods, or will they be expected to "pull-
down" and rapidly chill large volumes of hot food' Work out your operation's plan, and consult with
your architect/engineer/equipment supplier. They must know your needs in order to supply
equipment to do the Job.
In addition to questions of size. configuration, capacity. etc., compare both standard and custom
equipment for feasibility and durability. Mass.produced items may suffer from the small defects
common to all assembly-line processes. Conversely, custom items are ,by their nature. "one of a
kine." and both you and the supplier must be sure that components are accurately assembled.
Equ:pment bearing the mark of the National Sanitation Foundation INSF) or other independent
stan cards certification groups will meet these organizations' standards.
K:-iOW what you need. and work with your suppliers to get it. Don't be afraid of custom equipment if
the gain in efficiency offsets the higher price. but don't be misled into rejecting all stock equipment
wh:ch might meet your needs

:\umerous refrigeration systems are found in all restaurants.
They range in size from a small device which acts as a water
cooler to large systems used for air condilloning and walk-in
freezers.
The purpose of this section is to eliminate the mystique of
refrigeration by providing the restaurateur with the operating
principles of such systems and to familiarize him with terms used
to define components and functions of refrigeration.
The diagram below illustratestnl! components and functions of a simple refrigeration system.
Beginning at the motor/compressor (1). the refrigerant flows as a vapor at high pressure to the
condenser coils (2). These coils are normally found adjacent to the motor, The condenser fan (3)
forces-air over and around the coils, cooling the refrigerant. The refrigerant then flows as a liquid to
the receiver (4). The receiver is normally a cylindrically shaped vessel located under the condenser
coils
Next, the refrigerant passes along the liquid line (5) through the expansion valve (6). (The refrigerant
is now under low pressure and remains so until it arrives at the compressor, giving rise to the terms
"low side" and "high side" when referring to portions of the cycle.) Once through the expansion
valve, the liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator (7) andabsorbs the heat from the interior of the
refrigerator. The evaporator is a series 6f coils normally found in the upper portion of refrigerators.
The absorption of the heat is usually assisted by a flow of air from the evaporator fan (8). In absorbing
the heat from the refrigerator interior, the liquid refrigerant once more becomes a vapor and returns to
the compressor through the suction line (9) to start the cycle once again,
The temperature sensing bulb or "pigtail" (10) is located in the refrigerated area and is connected to
the thermostat switch (11). This controls the power supply to the motor and begins and ends
operating cycles.

Refrlgerlltion - Operlltlon lInd MlIintenllnce
Proper operation and maintenance of re~~lgerators and freezers fall mto t.....o general categones' the
mechanical system and the storage area or "box."
Mechllnlclll Systems
1. Don't stack cartons or other matena!s where they will block airflow to refrigeration coils or
machinery Keep coils clean and free of dust, grease, lint or frost with a regular, scheduled
program of cleaning. (A 30 percent reduction in airflow over the condenser coil can result in an 18
percent loss of refrigeration capacit,' I
2. Keep motors and compressors correctly lubricated. Keep drive belts aligned and in good repair.
3. Replace all covers or access panels after service.
4. If possible. locate compressors and condensers in a cool environment. This will ease the load on
both your refrigeration equipment and your building air-conditioning system. Outside air is free
and may often be cleaner and cooler than kitchen air.
5. Place indicating thermometers in easily readable locations inside all refrigerators and freezers.
(Most health codes require these to be accurate plus..' minus three degrees F.) Consider the
benefits of time-temperature recorders or alarm systems to alert you to sudden or abnormal
temperature fluctuations.
6. Choose or design a system to accomplish what you need. (However. beware of the overdesigned
system: this can produce as many problems as underdesigned equipment.)
7. Warm product can be devastating to a refrigerator Unless the system is designed to accept the
extra load, avoid placing large volu:nes of hot foods in the UOltS for chilling. If 20 pounds of lOooF

Ice Machines
Ice makers are a special application of refrigeration in which liquid water flows across refrigerated
platformsoTnfilds. When a sheet of ice forms, the machine's "harvest cycle" heats the mold to
release the ICe. The ice may eject onto a heated wIre grid to be cut Into cubes or may simply break Into
the final flakes or chips and fall into the storage bin. Some manufacturers oHer a crusher for
installation between the cube former and the storage bin. Dispensing heads may also be available on
many models.
You may wish to investigate the feasibility of two smaller ice makers rather than a single large unit.
This arrangement could provide a backup source if one machine fails. and you could have the option.
of two different forms or sizes of ice. eg.. cubed and flaked.
Ice machines should be located with convenient access in mind: access for restaurant use: access for
~ivice and repair: and access to the water supply and drain lines. (Consider a floor drain in the
. '-immediate area to safely accommodate the inevitable spills.)
Maintenance of ice machines is similar to normal refrigeration:
1. Keep coils, fans and cooling fans clean and dust free.
2 Keep machines lubricated and adjusted
3. Keep drive belts and pulleys aligned and in good repair.
4. Locate in a relatively cool environment.
In addition. the ice-making and storage systems deserve preventive care:
1. Keep water lines free from lime and other mineral buildups.
2. You may wish to use a water conditioner to improve ice clarity and flavor. Maintain it in good
condition. according to the manufacturer's recommendations. (See page B-4S.)
3 Keep drain lines clean and free flowing.
4. Clean the ice storage bins regularly: empty, clean. sanitize and dry. (This is another advantage of
two separate machines: use one while you clean the other.) Pay particular attention to cleaning
the storage level. or "Ioad.line." of the bin walls. where water treatment chemicals in the ice can
attack the stainless steel.
5. Provide clean and sanitary scoops, bags and buckets to handle the ice. Remember. ice is a food.
6. Replace all covers and panels after serVicing.

COOKING EQUIPMENT
.
..
Ranges
Ranges represent the "original" restaurant cooking equipment. the first to go beyond open fires and
fireplace cooking. The modern range has eased cooking chores and led to more varied foods by
allowing more carefully controlled preparation temperatures.
Modern ranges are available in many sizes and configurations and in combinations with other
equipment and shelving, Gas-fired units are most comon, but electric systems are available. as well as
propane and oil-fired models Standard heights are usually 36 inches. Most ranges are 30 to 32 inches
deep and 18 to 60 inches wide. Usable cooking surface areas can vary b~' several inches in el.ther
dimension, depending on options, such as front plate shelves. warming units. burner positions, etc.
There are two general categories of ranges: the open-burner and the hot.top. The more traditional
open-burner has each burner unit separately controlled to deliver precise heat and is more suitable for
"pot and pan" cooking. The hot.top can have several burner arrangements beneath a heat.conductor
plate. This accommodates a wider range of utensil sizes and can offer either uniform heat across the
entire surface or graduated "zones" Some models are available as "haH and half." i.e., with part hot-
top, part open-burners.
Type and size selection depends primarily on the cooking to be done. Four.burner units are usually
better for large volume pots and rapid boiling; six-burner units are better for small portions of sauces
and saute.
Better quality gas ranges feature separate pilots for each burner. Electnc ignition will help your engergy
management program.
Because the many liquids handled on a range virtually guarantee spills and boil-overs, be sure that
grease troughs and drip pans are wide and deep to catch and contain spills The whole range top
should feature easy disassembly to promote easy cleaning and maintenance.
Installation and hookup to utilities should be done by a qualified technician Have the gas service
agent adjust the air/gas mixture and show you how to re-adjust it after c1ea"'ing the burners. Check
the level of the range top (use a spirit level) . If an oven is part of the unit. calibrate the oven
temperature to plus/minus SOF. Utility shutoffs should be located away from the immediate cooking
area, along with a "BC" type fire extinguisher. conveniently accessible in case of emergency. Check
with fire and building officials for necessary exhaust hoods and automatic fIre extinguishing systems.
(Also, see page 23 of this section.)
Hot.top ranges may require 30-60 minutes preheat time; open-burners need NONE. They should be
turned on only when in use With either type, turn on only the burners or sections which will be used.
Group pOlS together and use as much of a hot-top as is practical. For open-burners of different sizes.
use the smallest one which will accommodate a particular pot or pan. Use lids on pots. This reduces
boiling cooking time. which improves energy effiCiency and reduces evaporation, which minimizes
product loss, kitchen humidity and soiling.
Clean drip pans and grease troughs dail,' or more often. Keep the range. burners. grates. etc. clean
by removing spills before they dry and bake on. Burners and gas ports can be cleaned with a small
brush or Wire (be careful not to enlarge the hole). Then re-adJust for correc: air gas mixture

Griddles
The basic princ,:ple of griddle cooking is simple: a thick slab of flat steel is heated from bela\'\" b,' electric
elements on;ja'M>urners. and the steel transfers heat to foods placed on it. Griddles' versatihty allows
for use at breakfast. lunch and dinner: in a pinch, they can even substitute for a range top. However,
griddles are among the most energy.wasteful cooking devices unless properly designed and used.
Their nature makes it almost impossible to produce even heat over the entire surface, and griddles
demand almost constant attention and cleaning to produce quality foods and minimize energy loss.
When selecting a griddle. remember that heat is lost from all six sides of the plate: top, bottom and all
four edges, Efficient design will include reflective and insulating materials beneath the heat source and
around the unproductive edges, and "fences" around three sides to allow maximum use to the edges.
Surface materials can affect operation. maintenance and energy consumption.
,',.' · Cast plate: These are very porous and do not expand or contract as well as other materials.
.... They require constant cleaning. and frozen foods may have a tendency to stick to the griddle
surface.
· Polished steel: The shiny surface reduces heat loss and food sticking but may lead to more
product shrinkage due to foods not adhering
· Cold.rolled steel: These plates have excellent heat transfer characteristics, with minimal
food shrinkage. Easy cleaning is a bonus.
· Chrome.flnlsh steel: These newer styles with a mirror surface offer superb heat transfer and
can be easily cleaned. They do not require "seasoning." However. scratches and gouges can
lead to sticking and uneven cooking.
Most 'commercial griddles are separated into zones of heat control A 36-inch grill usually has three
zones. each heated and controlled separately. The most common operator's complaint about griddles
is that the thermostats are "out of calibration," Remember that a thermostat can only sense the
temperature ai one spot on the grill. It cannot know the temperature in another part of its control
zone, and it has no idea of the temperature in other zones. Within each lone. the griddle temperature
may vary 250-30oF above or below the dial setting, and if cold and even frozen foods. all absorbing
different amounts of heat. are cooked at the same time, one area could easily vary from another by as
much as lOooF. To reduce some of this variation. group similar foods together, and try to leave the
smallest open area possible between foods. Also. the thicker the steel slab, the more even the surface
temperature (some large grills have plates 1-1/2 inch thick). but consider the extra preheattime and
energy needed to get thick plates up to cooking temperature. Be sure your griddle has sufficient heat
recovery capability for the amount of food you intend to prepare.
Consider the position of grease drains, drawers and troughs. Rear drains tend to cause cleaning
problems because the collection drawer may not be pushed fully into place. Front. rear or side. if a
careless cook doesn't err:pt,' the catch pan. grease runs all over beneath the unit: this produces a
severe cleaning problem. Insect attractant and fire hazard. Select griddles that are easy to heat. easy to
use and easy to clean.
Have your griddle installed by a competent technician. Check the manufacturer's nameplate and the
operating manual closely for correct electric or gas u:ilit\; hookups Level the unit. Read the operator's
manual and file it securely' for future reference.
Follow all manufacturers recommendations for preparing your gnddle surface. Usually ,'au \'\"ill need
a grease'solvent to remO\'e the factory. applied rust preventive: then clean with a damp cloth and dry
thoroughly. If the gnddle requires seasoning. preheat to 400'F. Apply a light film of unsalted cooking
oil: allow it to stand two minutes. wipe with a clean cioth. Repeat the process. and your griddle should
be ready to use.

Keep the griddle clean and shining to produce high quality foods Remember that griddles cook by
conduction. and the food must be In close contact with the heated p:ate. A layer of baked.on food
debns or excessive oill!.'dl act as an Insulator and slow the cooking as well as impart "off" tastes with
bits of black. carbonized debris A dark, dirty griddle is energy inefficient because black surfaces lose
heat faster than shiny ones Use a sharp spatula, with rounded corners, to clean the grill between
orders, Warn cooks against banging the corner of the spatula on the griddle plates, This nicks and
gouges the surface, reduces the contact area with foods and eventually produces uneven cooking and
sticking of foods, At the end of the day, leave the unit on warm and wash the surface with water,
detergent and a flat grill SCreen (brushes produces scratches), Rinse with warm water, dry and wipe
with a light IiIm of cooking oil to prevent rust.
Because only one side of the food is cooked in contact with a griddle. foods must be turned over
halfway through the process. Bell.shaped covers over steaks, chops. etc., speed cooking by capturing" .
some of the energy otherwise lost. Some systems use overhead infrared elements to cook from
above. and some even have double. sided plates similar to a waffle iron.
Preheat time for a griddle can waste tremendous amounts of energ~'. Six to nine minutes is normally
sufficient. Cover the griddle plate during preheat with shiny reflective material to redirect lost heat
back to the griddle. During sial!.' periods, reduce the temperature to 2000F or less and cover the
griddle. Many foods can be precooked by steam or microwave and finished on the griddle by lightly
browning them.
Some variations on the traditional griddle include
· Tilting skillets - These are very versatile and can be used as a griddle. skillet, braising pan,
fryer or kettle. .
. Grooved griddles - These may be used in place of char-broilers. The grooved plate is gently
sloped to drain grease. and the raised ribs mark and brown ".<ats as would a broiler rack. It is
VERY important to keep these devices scrupulously clean. Some models are combined with a
traditional flat grill to allow cooking of eggs or pancakes also.
These ideas certainly do not cover all of the griddle equipment available or all of the possibilities for
energy conservation and ease of use, but they are starting points to consider in your own operation.
Broilers
The recent trend to non.fried and low fat foods has sparked new interest in broilers, but there is
nothing new about the process. Modern broilers use more controlled conditions to cook with radiant.
or infrared heat. just as the back>ard chef uses the glowing coals of a charcoal brazier or campfire.
Most commercial broilers heat a "radiant:' which then emits the heat to cook the food Commonly
used radiants include lava rock, man-made ceramics or metal bars. The primary heat source can be
either gas or electric and can be e:ther abN'e or below the grill which holds the food, In both "top.
fired" and "under.fired" t~pes. cooking temperature is controlled b~ moving the food grid closer to or
further from the radiant heat source
Top.fired broilers are usuall~' hea,'I.' duty. fast and efficient. with a high temperature range. Grease
drippings fall into a troug>-, or tra:, which must be removed for c1ear.:ng as needed. at least daily. A
lighter duty model. the salamander. is usually shelf.mounted above other equipment and used to melt
cheese or finish other menu Items However. it can cook foods co"."!etel~' :ust as well as the bigger
models,

Under.fired broilers use a "pit" with the heat source under the food. It is usually the slowest cooking
because th~ top surface of the food IS not heated and foods must be turned over. Some models allow
drippings 10 Ignite and flare dramatically:-othlils use a drip tray or fire brick floor to incinerate drippings
and prevent f1are'ups. In either type, burned food can accumulate on the radiants and produce cold
spots. Clean the radiants as often as needed to maintain peak efficiency,
If you are proud of the appearance and flavor of your broiled foods. you will see that the grate is
brushed or wiped clean periodically during use and cleaned thoroughly every day, Otherwise, bits of
charred protein and rendered fat will adhere to the meat and produce bitter flavors. Clean carbonized
grease and tar from the broiler walls. cleaning from the top downward so that loosened debriS will fall
to the bottom for removal.
Broilers can produce high. quality foods at fairly low energy costs. It is not necessary to have the entire
broiler on at full power. Turn o\1le'section to full heat for rare, and another section to a lower setting for
well. done meats. Most broilefS.need only five or six minutes preheating time; use only the sections
you need. Or turn off when not in use.
If gas. fired , keep burner parts clean and flames properly adjusted. A poorly adjusted flame will waste
gas and will also deposit soot and carbon on foods and radiants,
For larger volumes, timed conveyor broilers are useful for standardized products. such as hamburgers.
Portion size must be carefully coordinated with conveyor speed to maintain product consistency.
Rotisserie broilers. with foods rotating horizontally or vertically on a skewer. offer attractive display
cooking.
Typical broilers are 34 to 36 inches long and 35 to 42 inches deep. Grid sizes are usually about 25 by
33 inches Broilers can be table-mounted. floor-mounted or wheeled. Whichever style you use, plan
to include a work shelf nearby, preferably in front of the unit, along with adequate work space for the
operator. There should be refrigerated storage conveniently nearby, and the unit must be located
beneath an exhaust hood to remove smoke and airborne grease. Because of flare-ups and grease
ignition, the broiler must be monitored closely for safe operation, and fire codes usually require
automatic extinguishing systems mounted overhead.
Ovens
Menu-matching is an absolute necessity when selecting ovens because there are so many variations
on the basic theme of "a box filled with hot air." There are range ovens; deck ovens; pizza ovens; bake
ovens; roast ovens; revolving. reel and rotary ovens; still air and forced convection, cook and hold
and on and on.
All of the different styles rely on the natural flow of hot air. When heated, air becomes lighter and rises
to the top of the oven. contacts the food and transfers heat to the food. No,,"' cooler, the air becomes
dense anc 'alls to the bottom of the oven to be reheated and then repeat the cycle.
Comparee:! to cooking by direct contact With flame or hot surfaces. oven cooking is inefficient for two
basic reaso,",s:
1. Foods must be turned or rearranged to achieve even heat transfer.
2. As water evaporates from food surfaces. it forms a cooling layer which slows the rate of heat
transfer Eventually the surface dries. forms a crust and heats more thoroughly, but there is always
a thm ia;:er of air surrounding the food whIch is cooler than the rest of the oven.
To partiall,' overcome these shortcomings. deck ovens use a heatec plate set in the oven base to help
maintain more even temperatures
C-12
EXHIBIT "F"

t
.
Convection ovens use a fan to "stir" the a:r and bioIA.' the cooler evaporative layer away as fast as it
forms Convection ovens generally operate with larger food loads. 10\l.'er cooking temperatures and
shorter cooking times than still-air ovens The heat transfer is more efficient. so greater car~ust be
taken in setting oven temperatures to avoid overcooking and drying
The blower must operate whenever the oven is on. or hot spots will develop in the oven cavity and
\I.'alls. Interior walls must be kept clean for better heat reflection to the food. But beware: the lazy
approach of lining oven floors, sides or racks with aluminum foil can reflect heat up the oven
chimneys. disrupt the airflow pattern and can draw bits of foil into the fan and ducts.
Don't clean ovens while they are hot. This merely boils away the cleaning solution and decreases its
effectiveness. A warm setting of 1500F IS sufficient to loosen the soil and is safer as well. Follow label
instructions and oven manufacturers' recommendations for use of cleaning compounds. Be careful
not to disturb the thermostat sensor bulb and its capillary tube: this is the heal'! 'of the oven
temperature control system. . --
Check alignment of doors and seals periodically to guard against heat loss. Use the owner's manual
and discuss correct oven procedures with the employees who operate it. Use a spirit level and the
adjustable mounting legs to achieve correct front.to.back and side-to-side level. Check the accuracy of
the thermostat and dial controls against an independent thermometer: have your serviceman calibrate
oven controls for maximum accuracy. Check control lights and interior oven lights. Replace interior
lights only with the special high temperature bulbs recommended by the manufacturer.
Some units offer "cook and hold" systems, with multiple heat and time settings. Follow
manufacturers' recommendations c1osely'for consist~nt product quality.
Moving oven. use conveyor beks, rotating discs or reels to carry food through the oven. As with
conveyor broiling, the obvious advantage is high volume product consistency.
Avoid shiny light-finished baking pans: dark finishes absorb more heat and conduct it to the food
much better. Aluminum pans generally have good heat transfer. Pan sides should be as low as
practical to contain the food and not shield it from hot air.
Keep the doors closed. An oven loses about 1 OF each second the door is open. Plan and research
your cooking times to avoid opening the door to check for doneness Better yet. explore the use of a
thermometer probe to show internal food temperature on an exterior dial or readout.
Follow manufacturers guidelines on preheat times, and plan your cooking to minimize preheat.
(Some controversial research suggests that preheat may not be needed at all and that most foods can
begin to cook while the oven is coming up to temperature.) Don-t overlook the possibility of using a
cooling oven to warm rolls, cook rice or pasta, reduce sauce volumes. etc. The heat is there: you paid
for it: use it,
Four to love inche. of in.ulation around th~ oven chamber 15 common, but 5 to 6 inche. is bener and
saves money in the long term. The oven 5hould be about the size of the product to be cooked. Unless
you routinely do very high volume oven cooking, consider 1\1.'0 or three smaller ovens. You will save

Microwave Ovens
Cooktng always involves transler of e~ergy to raise the temperature ollood Traditional appliances
use a primary heat source (gas burne, or electric coil) to heat an inter~l~ transler agent. such as a
griddle plate, oven air. Iryer oil. etc But a microwave oven translers energy directly; only the lood
gets hot. and the result is laster, more convenient cooking than in many other systems.
Microwaves are a small part 01 the electromagnetic spectrum, similar to radio waves. Microwaves are
very short (hence "micro") and. like radio waves. they are invisible. In microwave ovens, the waves
cycle, or change directions, 2450 milhon times per second. When a microwave comes near a
molecule of water or fat in foods. the molecule behaves like a miniature magnet and "lines up" nortl1
and south. As the microwave cycles. the molecules try to keep up and turn completely around. This
violent molecular motion produces heat by Iriction - just as a wire coat hanger gets hot when you
bend it back and lorth rapidly - and this heat cooks the fooa,. .
Some microwave myths: . .~
. "Microwaves cook from the inside out."
False - Like any other form of energy, microwaves penetrate from the outside, and on the
way in. they lose much of their energy. This is why you should arrange foods evenly on a plate
for cooking. with the thickest part toward the outside edge, to prevent overcooking the thin
sections.
. "Microwaves are radioactive."
False - Microwaves are non'lonizing and do not make anything radioactive. Normal use of a
microwave oven presents absolutely no hazard of biological damage.
· "Microwaves interfere with cardiac pacemakers."
False - About 10 years ago. this was a controversial question. but modern designs of
microwave ovens and medica! pacemakers have eliminated any problem. FDA's Bureau of
Radiological Health recommends against warning signs in restaurants.
· "Microwave leakage causes medical damage."
False - The federal government sets strict standards for the design and construction of
microwave ovens: doors and latches have multiple salety relays to prevent operation with the
door open: door cavities. Irames and seals are all designed to prevent escape of microwaves:
all ovens manulactured or sold 10 the United States must bear a sticker attesting that the oven
meets lederal standards. '
There are a few commonsense use precautions:
1 Never attempt to operate the oven with the door open.
2 :"lever tamper with the door sea!; latches or safety switches.
3 Keep the door and seals clean ac.:! free of lood debris.
4 :'\ever slam the door: close it gee,::.".
:J Unless the operator's manual sp~cilically describes how to do it. never put any kind 01 metal into
the oven: no metal pans. utens:'; or aluminum loil. This will cause violent electrical arcs. which
could ruin the o,'en

.'
The colder the food is when put in the oven, the longer it will take to cook In addition, the density
and water content will affect cooking time. Different foods will cook at different rates in different
ovens. Consult your owner's manual and experiment with.VB.US time and power settings for best
results. Cover foods with plastic wrap. waxed paper, unpril)ted cloth or paper towels, etc., when
cooking; this prevents spattering and also retains the steam and heat to further speed cooking.
However, you must provide a vent in the covering to prevent swelling and explosion from steam
buildup.
Similarly, pierce whole potatoes or other firm. skinned products. and do not attempt to microwave
cook whole shell eggs.
Remember that foods will continue to cook with retained heat alter you remove them from the oven,
.Most manuals describe a "heat and stand" process to make use of this phenomenon.
Microwave ovens work best with small to modei'llie amounts of food, If heating more than eight
pounds of food at one time. conventional ovens or steamers may be faster than microwave ovens.
Determining your needed capacity can be tricky. If a single casserole cooks in 80 seconds, two
casseroles in the same oven will need 75 percent more time or 80 seconds plus 60 seconds for a total
of 140 seconds. If you will be reheating or short order cooking single, simple items, then the oven with
a smaller cavity and lower wattage may be your best choice. Variable power units will allow you to mix
and match time and power settings.
Be sure that operating personnel are skilled and correctly trained in the use of this modern kitchen
tool. It is not the only cooking appliance you need. but with careful USe it can speed preparation and
reduce overall energy use.
Fryers
Deep fat fryers are one of the most important pieces of cooking equipment in the kitchen. Deep.fried
foods represent a'profitable menu offering. Because they cook rapidly and require little or no advance
preparation. they can be cooked to order. thus reducing leltovers.
Many sizes and types of fryers are available. from conventional open-top kettles to the newer pressure
fryers. All cook foods by submerging them in hot fat. heated by electric elements or gas burners in
tubes which are themselves submerged. Temperature is thermostatically controlled, and most units
also have backup safety thermostats to prevent fires from overheated fat. As with any grease-
producing equipment, fryers must be located beneath an adequate vent exhaust system, and most
codes require an automatic fire extinguishing system over the fryer.
Foods are cooked in baskets of welded rod, wire or perforated sheet mete I. Cooking time can be
determined visually by the operator or with a variety of automated controls. Some units even offer
automatic basket lifters.
In pressure fryers. hot fat is still the heat transfer agent. The heat boils away' food moisture as steam.
The tightly sealed cover traps the steam and raises the pressure in the chamber, which reduces further
moisture loss from the foods and produces more moist and flavorful product. Manufacturers claim
that the slight turbulence rolls the food and reduces cooking time. However. the time savings may be
an illusion when y.ou add in the extra time to seal and then salely vent the chamber. Also, some
operators lee! that pressure-frying may' shorten the usable Iile 01 the fat.

The most expensive and most often abused component of deep Irying is the fat or oil it;elf, Because
hot fat is both the heat exchange medium and a food ingredient (fat is absorbed by fried foods). the
condition 01 the fat will affect the quality. taste and texture 01 the Iried product. The fat must be fresh
and bland in flavor.
Heat. air and food chemicals all combine to cause fat breakdown. Manage fat to maximize its usable
life:
1. Use a high quality fat, resistant to heat breakdown.
2. Avoid excessive Iryer temperatures, (Most foods can be hied at 350oF-3750F.) Pre melt fat at low
. temperatures. Tum heat down toZOOOF or less during idle or slow periods: turn off when not in
use. Determine your unit's preheat time and do not exceed it.
3. As lat levels lall in the kettle, add Iresh fat to replace that absorbed by foods.
4. Avoid stirring or agitating the fat. Extra air whipped into the fat leads to foaming, oxidation.
scorching and soap formation through chemical reactions with food.
5. Keep it clean. Allow wet loods to drain belore frying: shake off excess breading, skim crumbs from
the surface: salt loods after frying, never over the fryer.
6. When not in use. keep fryer turned off and covered to protect fat from debris. dust. light and air.
7. Filter fat regularly to remove food debris. Some units have built-in recirculation for constant
filtering. Others require draining the lat through a paper or cloth Iilter. NOTE: This operation
can be very dangerous. Handle fat at the lowest temperature at which it will flow, Clean spills
immediately to avoid slipping hazards. Warn employees to be extremely cautious to avoid burns.
8. Keep the fry ke!tle baskets and other utensils scrupulously clean. Follow the manufacturer's
instructIon to dean the kettle daily and remove accum..iations of gummy lat deposits.
All of these will help to increase the usable life of fat. But eventually all fats break down. usually
signalled by discoloration. foaming, smoking or off. flavors Discard your fat before these signs
appear. Establish a definite schedule, based on use volume
When determining necessary fryer size. conSIder installing :\\.'o or more smaller units. This will increase

Calculate fryer capacity:
. Determine the average number of customers per hour.
. Estimate the proportion "customers who order fried foods. (One and one-half orders per
patron is a good rule of thumb.)
. Determine your average portion size in ounces.
· From the above figures, calculate the total number of ounces of food fried per hour,
· Assuming one batch every live minutes, divide total ounces per hour by 12, which equals
number of ounces per batch.
· Divide number of ounces per batch by two, which equals fryer fat capacity in pounds. (This will
insure that your fryer holds one pound offat for each two ounces offood, a1:8 ratio,)

Steam Cooke....
Steam cooking is usually done in compartment cabinets, which can be either pressurized or not. In
addition to shorter preparation time than range-top boiling in pots, these can also offer more constant
temperature; better retention of food color, texture, flavor and nutrients; and energy savings through
more direct heat transfer. Almost any food which does not require a crust can be cooked in a steamer
cabinet. There are different capacities available, and some units can be stacked to conserve floor
space.
Because pressurized steamers cook quickly and the chef cannot readily check doneness, accurate
timing of food batches is critical. A few minutes can result in raw or overcooked products. Steamers
are particularly useful in high-volume preparation of seafoods. Chicken can be precooked and then
finished in the fryer or roasting pan. Prepare frozen vegetables throughout the serving period to avoid
the sogginess and leaching of nutrients which accompany water cooking.
Most steam cabinets are designed to hold standard 12-by-20-inch pans In depths of two and one-half,
four or six inches. Solid pans with removable perforated racks allow for drainage of condensed water.
Steam-jacketed kettles are a modern improvement on the old double boiler. They consist of two
hemispherical pots which have about two inches between the inner and outer layers. This jacket is
lilled with live steam for heat transfer, Some kettles can also be supplied with cold water circulation
through the jacket to promote rapid chilling of foods. (This can help avoid overloading refrigeration
equipment. See page C-6.) Interior pot capacity ranges from about one quart for small table units to
about 200 gallons for the large floor or wall-mounted models. Most kettles use either a tilting
mechanism or draw-off valves. which require special attention in cleaning.
For both steamer cabinets and jacketed kettles, follow these operation and maintenance tips:
1. Use care in lifting kettle lids or exhausting cabinets to avoid steam burns.
2. Have controls checked regularly by a qualified service technician.
3. Keep cabinet door frames and seals free of food debris.
4. Tighten door seals only enough to prevent steam leaks.
5. Replace any damaged gaskets or seals.
6 Check water gauges to assure adequate boiler levels.
7. Repair steam leaks immediately.
8. Insulate all steam lines to conserve heat and protect employees against burns.

Steam can be generated for these appliances either in a self. contained unit or in a central boiler and
distnbution system Regardless of the source. you should use properly conditioned water to reduce
limestone and other mineral deposits. These deposits will reduce heat transfer and distribution
efficIency and can cause serious damage to the system. Be sure to use no toxic water conditioners.
The steam must be chemically suitable for food contact. Mineral deposits can often be removed by
brushmg with a mUd acid, such as vinegar More serious deposits should be handled by a trained
technician, who will probably use stronger acids.
Steam tables are not true cooking devices since they are intended only to hold hot food at serving
temperatures They also operate on the principle of the double boiler but usually with smaller
volumes, lower pressures and lower temperatures of hot water. As with any heated appliance. clean
surfaces free of food or mineral buildups will perform more efficiently. Excessive clouds of steam
generally indicate unnecessarily high temperatures. Set controls only high enough to maintain 1400F
in preheated foods. Avoid stacking solid foods above the top edges, because foods that are not within
the pan will not be kept warm. Cool upper surfaces can be warmed by periodically stirring the food to
mix different temperature zones.

DISHMACHINES
-.,.
Dishmachines are expen5lve; they are significant users of labor, energy and water. A 1984 National
Restaurant Association study of energy usage found that 17.8 percent of a restaurant's total energy
consumption was for warewashing, laundry and other hot water use About 80 percent of the dollar
cost of warewashing is labor. Because dish machines are so expensive to purchase and operate, you
owe yourself a careful examination of machines to select the best type for your operation; proper
maintenance will help the machine operate at peak efficiency. Dishmachine malfunction has an
immediate effect on customer perception of your overall sanitation level. In a 1983 National
Restaurant Association survey, 81.5 percent of restaurant patrons rated "cleanliness" as their most
important expectation when dining out. Incorrect use or maintenance of your dishmachine can
.,. . produce dirty tableware for your customers and increase your operating costs.
All warewashing systems perform three basic functions: (1) washing to loosen food soil, (2) rinsing to
flush away the loosened debris and soaps and (3) sanitizing to destroy harmful bacteria left on utensil
surfaces. Most machines use one or more recirculating wash tank(s). Some larger machines may
incorporate prewash systems or pumped rinses before the final freshwater sanitizing rinse. The
sanitizing rinse may use either very hot water (1800F) or a low-temperature chemical solution
automatically dispensed into the machine spray system.
To select a dishmachine for your operation, you must make several choices and calculations:
. Type of machine: stationary rack. conveyor, single or multitank.
· Capacity: Calculate the total number of pieces to be washed per hour. Count each item used at
a normal table selling (count a flatware selling as one item). Use this number as a guideline to
compare different machine capacities, (It is usually not economical to size a machine only for
peak operating loads since that would mean running the machine at partial capacity for most of
the day. Instead, it may be bener to scrape and hold dishes until a full load is developed,
working over a period of one or two hours.) Remember to include additional capacity for
kitchen utensils and to provide extra tableware to use while one set is being washed. Most
technical data sheets rate dishmachines at 100 percent capacity operation, but 70 percent is
probably a more realistic figure for your comparisons. Thus. if a machine is rated at 5000
pieces, you should calculate on the basis of 3500 pieces per hour. Also, when calculating
capacities and operating times. allow for handling time to collect, sort, scrape, soak, load,
unload, etc" the dishes.
· Type of sanitizer: Low temperature chemical rinse machines may offer lower utility charges
than hot water machines. But reduced wash temperatures may not clean heavy dried-on soil
as effectively, and they can also require additional drying agents and extra maintenance for the
automatic dispenser systems. You will also need an accurate chemical test kit to check the
concentration of the final rinse water. Compare both hot water and chemical rinse machines
carefully before ~'ou select the right one for your facility.
Stationary rack machines use spray arms to apply wash water and then rinse water on a timed cycle,
usually about one to three minutes. Depending on rack size and c~'cle time. stationary rack machines
can process about 375 to 1000 items per hour. They are generally useful for operations serving
50.100 persons per meaL Under-counter installation is available. th:; saves space, but use is awkward
and tedious for the operator. Counter-height machines with pass-through doors arranged for either
straight run or corner installation are mOre comfortable and efficien! for employees.
C.19
EXHIBIT "F"

. '
Rack conveyors use a chain drive or cam to move racked dishes through the wash and rinse spray
chambers. Single.tank models are good for medium. sized operations. i e . up to about 150 persons
- - .' .. per meal: two-tank models, incorporating prerinse, multiple wash or pumped rinse are more suitable
to higher volume uses. Rack-conveyor machines can process about 3000 items per hour,
Rackless or flight-type machines use a moving conveyor to carry dishes through the multiple spray
chambers. There may be projecting pegs for placing utensils directly on the conveyor: other items,
such as flatware, may still be racked. The machines may be single-tank but more often are multitank
with recirculating prewash, wash, pumped rinse cycles, then a final freshwater sanitiZing rinse. These
are high volume machines for facilities serving up to 1000 persons per meal. Conveyors come in 20 to
3D-inch widths. and conveyor speeds vary from about five to fifteen feet per minute,
Most health department regulations specify operating water pressures and temperatures for the .
various classes of machines, In addition, the National Sanitation Foundation standards 3 and 26 also
specify pump capacities, total gallonage at each step and total time exposure for listed machines. All
this is planned to ensure that dish machines perform properly. Do not try to increase machine capacity
by tampering with cycle times, conveyor speeds or water temperatures. Unauthorized modifications of
your dishmachine may result in a regulatory citation, loss of warranty protection and, most likely,
unclean dishes.
To help conserve energy. many operators have converted existing hot-water sanitizing machines to
operate at lower temperatures, using a chemical sanitizing rinse. This can be a legitimate conversion
and can save on hot water costs. FDA has set some technical conditions for such conversions: you
should also check with your local Health Depllrtment before attempting such modifications.
Some potential problems with converting hot water sanitizing machines to chemical sanitiZing include: .
1. voiding any previous NSF listing for the machine
2. possibly l.lOiding the manufacturer's warranty
3. spotting of utensils due to slower drying time and
4. possible corrosion of internal machine parts and fittings not originally intended for exposure to
harsh chemicals.
All dishwashing operations require presorting of utensils and scraping, flushing or soaking to remove
heavy debris before placing in the dishmachine. After the machine cycle is complete, utensils must be
air-dried and stored in a sanitary manner, Don't handle utensils by the food-contact surface.
The dishmachine area can often be excessively steamy and humid. ExnaClst ventilation to remove
steam and water vapor will provide benefits of better air drying of utensil;. fewer insect control
problems: and easier cleaning of walls. floors and ceilings. Check with your local building and health
departments, equipment supplier and ventilation contractor for specific details in your facility
When planning your dish machine installation, be sure to allow enough space for the secondary
operations and equipment needed: sorting tables. scrap sink with garbag~ disposal. storage space for
soiled utensils before washing, storage space for clean utensils after wast-mg, etc. Some approximate
sizes {or dishwashing areas include
· 200 meals/hour: 100 square feet (10 by 10 feet) and
.400 meals/hour = 300 square feet.

Booster Heat.rs
Dishmachines are tremendous consumers of hot water. Most hot-water machines require 1500F wash
water and 1800F final rinse. Prewash, wash and pumped rinse tanks are usually recirculating and
heated by submerged electric elements or steam pipes. but the final freshwater rinse demands gallons
of hot water with each cycle. It is impractical, uneconomical and dangerous to heat the entire
restaurant's water supply to the 1800F required for the dishmachine; so a booster heater is generally
used as near to the machine as possible to raise the water temperature to the required level lor only
that part of the machine which needs it. A few machines may have integrated. built-in boosters.
Steam boosters are available but must be engineered on the site because of the many variables
involved. Electric boosters are most common and will require heavy-duty wiring and piping to provide
the quick recovery necessary to raise water temperatures lor your machine. Booster styles and options
are varied. Be sure your booster is well matched to the machine and that all necessary temperature
and pressure controls are installed appropriately,
To determine the energy necessary lor boosters and other hot water heaters:
BTU = (gallons per hour demand) x 8,33 It temperature rise
, efficiency 01 heater (0.75 lor gas, 0.98 for electric).
Sinks
Despite the salesman's claim, no dishmachine can possibly do it all. You will need sinks in addition to
your dish machine to handle the larger items which won't lit In the machine and to provide a backup
system if your machine lalls.
The FDA 1976 Model Foodservice Code 'caDs lor three-compartment sinks to allow you to wash, rinse
and sanitize utensils in that order, (Some jurisdictions may permit two-compartment pot and pan
sinks: however, three compartments will provide better cleaning and versatility.) These are points to
remember about warewashing sinks:
1, Stainless steel is the material 01 choice even II local codes will tolerate \esser material.
2, Provide adequate drainboards at each end 01 the sink: one lor soiled dishes, the other lor clean.
Drainboards should be supported with legs or braced and labricated as an integral part 01 the sink.
3. The raised backsplash behind the sink should be sealed tightly to the wall, with the sink itseH
mounted at least three Inches from the wall to allow lor easy cleaning.
4, All corners must be smooth "radius" corners - no sharp angles to catch debris.
5. Most codes call lor sinks large enough to submerge one-haH 01 the largest item to be washed.
6. Be sure that drain line connections are low enough to accommodate traps lor garbage disposals at
scrap sinks) .
7. Check location of faucet holes in the backsplash to be sure they match With your water pipes.
Shutoff valves on the supply lines are a good idea.
8, When measuring space lor sinks. get overall dimensions, Remember there is often a one-inch
double-steel wall between compartments.
Ware washing sinks can be purchased in various stock sizes for either floor / wall mounting or
countertop drop-in. They can also be custom-fabricated for your particular needs.

There are other sinks you should consider {or your operation:
. Handwashing ~in~~Health codes require "convenient and accessible" handwashing sinks to
promote and encou'l'age good personal hygiene. Locate these where they wlll be used:
generally, they should be small enough that they do not become SCl'ap sinks or pot sinks. Don't
forget to supply hand soaps, sanitary disposable towels or dryers and waste receptacles.
. Vegetable preparation sinks: These should be located well away from pot sinks to discourage
inappropriate use.
· Mop or slop sinks: A good location is in a custodian's closet so that all cleaning supplies can be
stored in one place. IA floor drain with a curb makes it easy to clean mops and to drain mop
buckets) Be sure to equip the faucet with a vacuum breaker if a hose will be used here.
All of these '~9uld, of course, be installed in accordance with applicable local health and plumbing
codes,

WATER HEATERS
.
To plan your water heater needs, you must consider
1. the demand for hot water (gallons per hour)
2. the desired temperature of hot water (some equipment, especially dishmachines, may specify a
particular lI,:ater temperature) and .
3, the incoming water temperature from the supply system.
To help calculate your hot water demand:
1, list each piece o{ equipment which uses hot water.
2. Estimate the number of gallons per hour of hot water when the item is in use. (Manufacturer's
data sheets are a good source for this information.)
3. Determine the number of hours each item is in use, and multiply the hours by the hourly use
estimates. Total these figures to produce your estimated hot water demand: then use the
manufacturer's recovery rates to size the heater accordingly.

EQUIPMENT EXHAUST VENTILATION
,..
.;;..~
Effective exhaust ventilation is critical for the restaurant kitchen. A modern exhaust system must
remove cooking odors. smoke, steam. grease and heat from the kitchen ane must provide fire
protection for grease.producing areas. It requires adequate fans to move the contaminated air:
ductwork and hoods to capture the aIr and channel it to the exterior: filters. extractors or washer
systems to remove grease and smoke: and make-up air to replace the air volume being exhausted.
Clearly, this is not a dO-it.yourself project. Exhaust and make. up air systems are usually engineered
on site to lit the requirements of individual operations. Even when using standard manufactured
components. it takes an expert to correctly match all the variables involved
National Fire Protection Association standard 96 is generally considered to be the technical g~efor
cooking equipment exhaust systems. However, local building, fire, health and insurance reqtiM'ements
will dictate the specific details for your facility. Coordinate with these agencies. your consultant or
contractor and your insurance agent to get the best system for your operation
One of the biggest problems in designing exhaust systems is often make-up air The large volumes of
air exhausted through the hood must be balanced with make.up air to avoid the problems of negative
building pressure. (See page B.S.) In some areas of climate extremes. this make-up air may require
heating. cooling or other treatment before it is introduced into the building. Some newer
compensating exhaust systems may introduce the make-up air directly into the hood system. Because
less air is drawn from the building itself, drafts are gen~rally reduced, and your heating and cooling
costs may be lowered.
A non.liltered system would quickly accumulate grease in ducts and on fan blades, walls and roofs -
throughout the system. A lire in these greasy areas could quickly engulf the entire building. Grease is
usually removed from the air by wire mesh filters set into the hood assembly. ~FPA 96 specifies filters
must be at an angle of 45 degrees or more above horizontal to prevent grease from dripping back onto
the cooking surface.
Other removal systems. such as grease extractors and electrostatic precipitators, use a series of
specially designed baffles or electrically charged plates to trap droplets of grease and sometimes
smoke particles as well. Whatever grease removal system you use, it must be cleaned regularly and
thoroughly to prevent lire hazard: insect and vermin food sources: and the offensive odors of stale.
rancid grease. Some heavy-duty units can be equipped with automatic wash systems to clean the
grease chamber with a pressurized spray of hot water and detergent.
Below is general information that should be included in your exhaust s)'ste".. planning:
1. Fans have many options and additions available. Check different styles "ropeller, centrifugal!.
automatic drive belts tension systems. bird and insect screens. rooftop g,ease troughs, variable
speed motors for slow penods. elC.
2. Hoods must generally have an overall height of 20 inches: lilters Or grease extractors must be
angled at least 45 degrees above horizontal. Plan for hIgh enough ceilings to accommodate your
hoods.
3. Round exhaust ducts oller less resistance to airflow. which reduces the load on the fan. If round
ducts are not available, they should be as nearl,' square as possible

Fire Ptotectlon Systems
:\FPA standard 96 requires that all cooking equipment.iuch as fat fryers, ranges. griddles and
broders, be protected by approved fire extinguishing-eq1l'lpment. Hoods. grease removal devices and
duct systems must also be protected. Detection of a fire and activation of the system is normally
performed by a heat. sensitive fusible link. Pre-engineered as well as custom-engineered systems are
available. Extinguishing agents include dry chemicals, carbon dioxide gas and chemicals in liquid
solution,
The design. installation and maintenance of the system is a job for the professional. He will identify the
potential hazards and recommend the components to be integrated into the system. When adding or
relocating protected cooking equipment. be certain the appropriate changes are made in your .
extinguishing system.
A readily accessible means to manually adi~ate these systems must be provided, Instructions for
manually operating the fire extinguishin!rsystem should be posted conspicuously in the kitchen and
should be reviewed periodically with your employees.
Your fire extinguishing system should be inspected and serviced by properly trained and qualified
persons at least every six months. All actuation components, including the manual pull stations,
mechanical or electrical devices. detectors and actuators, should be checked for proper operation
during the inspection Fusible links should be replaced at least annually. (f required, certificates of
inspection and maintenance performed should be forwarded to the authority having jurisdiction;
retain a copy of maintenance and inspection sheets for your own maintenance program, as well as for
insurance records.
Many older systems provide incomplete coverage with only hood and duct protection. Be certain your
cooking equipment is fully protected.

5. THE RECIPE -
Preparing popcorn appears to be simple, however, it is complex,
because to insure the best yield, certain procedures and steps of
preparation concerning the heat of the kettle must be closely
followed. Following is a step-by-step method of preparing popcorn.

This insturction dots not take into account specific types of IIICh1nes.
However. onc. Illy popping ..chine is set 'up and prepared for popping corn,
the following steps should be followed. It is a good ide. to post precise
popping instructions. which coincide with your ..chine's popping capabil-
ities. near every popping location.
Steps:
1. Check lIachine before turning on to lUke sure it is ass_led
properly and connected to proper power sourCI and voltage.
2, ,Turn on heat for seasoning well.
3. Tur" on the kettle, add thrn" ker~ Of~corn. When these
kernelS Pop. the kettle is hot enough to pop corn. '
4. Place the oil in the kettle (use a 3 tOol ratio). then turn
on the agitator. The oil should be 480 before adding corn;
allow approximately 30 seconds (for the first load only).
5. Combine the measured amount of raw popcorn for your machine
and the seasoning salt. the seasoning salt is 1 teaspoon per
32 ozs. corn.
6. Dump the measured corn and salt into the machine. It will take
6-7 minutes when the machine is starting out cold (first batch).
A normal popping cycle will take two minutes and 35 seconds
to three minutes and 15 seconds with normal voltage input.
If you get a faster popping cycle, you are getting too much
neat to the kettle and your thermostat is inoperative. A slower
cycle is usually the result of improper voltage or worn out
elements. A cycle is defined as the time between the moment
you add oil, to the dumping of the popped corn and the time
you are ready to add oil again.
Improper use of heat or ingredient ratios will affect the popping
expanSion and, therefore, your overall Yield.
1. Dump the popped corn out when you can count to three between
the pops of kernels. Add oil immediately after d~1ng the
batch. A delay will cause the machine temperature to rise.
caUSing possible damage to the thermostat.
6. OTHER, INFORMATION
A. Turn the machine off at the beginning of the last batch. Always
clean the machine and the popping area after each popping
exercise and never leave the room while popping corn. ~s~it
is pOSSible to start a fire. __

faucet near the bottom of the keg. For this reason, kegs should
be tilted to allow as much beer as possible to flow out of the
faucet. Hoff Stevens employs a threaded fitting, while rap
O'Matic's twists and locks. The most desirable system is Tap
O'Hatic or Sanke, followed by Hoff Stevens and, finally, Golden
Gate. '
D. For high volume units, use series hook ups, allowing one faucet
to tap up to six kegs. All types of tapping systems can be
used in series. If series tipping is not pOSSible, start off
with full kegs.
E. Factors for tapping beer:
Internal Pressure - C~2 produced in the brewing proces.-crsates
pressure wit9in the keg. This ranges fral 10 p.s.i. at 35 to 13
p.s.i. at 40. To draw beer, a pressure equal to or greater
than the internal pressure is needed. Pressure applied in excess
of 5-6 pounds of the internal pressure can overcarbonate a keg. '
E I alllT ..,..
Page 2. 0' <r~
COIVUTIOI CUTU COIICESSIOI ACUUUT
Counter pressure - This is the pressure put into the keg at
the time of dispensing to force it through the lines. CO2 tanks
with reguJators are the best method. Air PUlllll systtlllS can be
used but if not properly maintained are unsanitary. When more
than 20 pounds of pressure is needed, a blend of CO2 and nitrogen
will prevent overcarbonation in the keg.
, F. Resistance, restriction, or 'r1ct1on . Beer lines are constructed
of polyethylene or vinyl. The amount of res1stence depends
upon the material and size of the line. The lOst cOllDn size
lines are 3/16", 1/4- and 3/S-. Poly lines are less resistent
and less expensive than vinyl. Pressure requi,red per foot of
poly line is as follows:
Size
-
Resistance
3116"
114"
3/S"
3 lbs.
.8S lbs.
.20 lbs.
Capacity per Foot
1/6 oz.
1/3 oz.
3/4 oz.
.11.,
Lift is defined as the "vertical distance, in feet, from the
center of the keg to the faucet". to c a 1 cu 1 ate the li ft
resistance. multiply the distance from the center of the keg
to the faucet by ! pound.
By combining all these elements, you will be able to understand
the calculations used when installing a draft beer system.
G. All refrigeration equipment should have compressor grates cleaned
regularly to allow for proper air circUlation. Thermometers
should be placed in all equipment to monitor temperature levels.
Periodic inspection by trained mechanics (preventative
maintenance) is the best insurance against equipment failure.
An active unit should have beer lines cleaned monthly. Some
states prohibit beer distributors from performing this service.
Check with local contacts concerning the laws. Keep posted
records to show when beer lines were ,last cleaned.

6. OTHER INFORMATION
A. As IUCh as'possible, operate wtth 3 sizes in a standard
concession stand and one size in a portable stand, preferably
18 oz. or 24 oz. size.
8. Avoid prepouring or predrlW1ng of drinks to prevent improper
temperature, dilution or flat taste. When prepouring becomes
necessary. it should be timed to supply the needed product when
needed. PrIPour only one size (regular) and sen that when
no specific size is ordered. Proper icing of the cup is very
important. Excessive ice dilutes the beverage. The standard
for icing is half the container height.
C. When serving the 22 oz. souvenir cuP. it should replace the
24 oz. standard cups.
O. Carry out trays are necessary; both 2 hole and 4 hole trays
should be on hand. They should be stored under the c~unter.
E. When using post-mix, there is less storage space necessary,
greater volume is possible with less tank changes, greater
profitability, if brixing is proper, and better taste.
F.' Post-mix products should be dispensed at 38-40oF before the
ice is added. Higher temperatures result in excessive foaming,
increased dilution and loss of carbonation. The higher the
temperatures, the quicker the loss of CO, and the flatter tasting
the drink becomes. Proper brixing (the syrup to water ratiol,
should be checked frequently to insure taste and profitability.
This can be done by using a Ratio Cup, which is a three tube
cup and separator.
G. Soft drink syrups are formulated to be mixed at a specific water
to syrup ratio. Sugar products are recommended at 5:1 and Sugar
Free at 5.5:1 Using a water to syrup ratio of 5:1, one gallon
(128 ozs.l of syrup plus five gallons (640 ozs.) of water yields
six gallons (768 ozs.l of finished post-mix product. An average
of 7.5 ozs. of actual beverage per 12 oz. cup should yield 102
servings. A 5.5:1 ratio will yield 6.5 gallons (832 oz.) and
7.5 ozs. of beverage per 12 oz. cup should yield 111 servings.
H. Proper carbonation is important to flavor. A continuous supply
of CO, at proper pressure will assure good tasting drinks.
Gas pressure to the corbonator should be no less than 80 lbs.
per square inch and should not exceed 120 lbs. per square inch.
The secondary regulator pressure also needs to be set properly
and checked regularly. Sugar syrups should be set above a
minimum of 35 psi and adjusted accordingly due to the length
of the run. Sugar free syrups should be set at a maxi~ of
6-10 psi.

I. Syrup should be stared in a cool area where the temperature
dots not excced 76 F. Sugar free products wi 11 freeze IS the
temperature reaches freezing. 'Freezing is pri.arily a danger
beCause the seals can rupture, causing loss of product and entry
of impurities into the tank. Products should be purchased for
use within 30 days, although the product is good for longer
periodS of time. '
J. Hooking up the Figa1 of product is lIlIde s1l11ple for Coca-Cola
products, as the "3- prong fitting is designed to fit only the
syrup line, while the "2- prong fitting is designed to fit only
the CO2 line. Sockets should be su_rged in hot water prior
to the initial hook up and upon each change of F1gals. Pepsi
_ products must have the syrup 11 nes urked by product for propt~,
connecting.
Jumping tanks or a series of hook ups provides a continuous
syrup supply during the event. Where very large volumes are
used, hook in series to avoid the need for repeated changes.
This also applies to vending rooms where time is at a premium.
In low volume stands or units, series hook ups should not be
necessary, as the individual workers can be trained to change
tanks. Partial tanks ~an be jumped to be used in a stand.
, Leakers and otherwise unusable tanks can also be jumped together
to be made usable. This is done by depressing the CO hook
up nozzle to release the gas pressure on the tank to ge filled.
Once the pressure is released, a jumper cable can be hooked
from the CO side of the tank to be emptied, to the syrup hook
up of the tink to be filled. The pressure will force the product
into the desired tank. Keep releasing the pressure on the tank
being filled.
K. The refrigeration system, cold plate or mechanical, must maintain
the proper temperature to prevent foaming. Cold plates must
be iced in advance, at least 2-3" deep, clean, without water
standing in ice chest, and without bridging. A mechanical system
used for pre-miX can either be dry (without water bath) or wet
lwith a water bath). In either case, the electrical system
must be working to keep the temperature of the product correct.
Cold plates are more practical for outside or non-electrical
areas.

2. STANDARD PORTION
When cotton candy is made, the cotton candy is thrCMI out of the
machine's spinning head into the pin. the product begins to build
up inside the pan, beginning on the stabilizing web and working itself
back toward the spinning held.
When mlking I cone, take a small amount of cotton cindy from the
pan to establish a (sticky) base on your cone. Then let the pan
fill up with cotton candy until it is halfway between the held and
the webbing. Pullout the cotton candy by attaching your base cone
to the top edge of the cotton candy (near the pan) and immediately
lifting it out. Twirl it into place. You may want to tap it into
place with another cone until you learn how. This is known as one
swirl of cotton candy. Repeat once more and your cone is ready.
Portion - 2i partial swirls. Approximate perfect yield: 18 cones
per pound Of m1xed suggar and flossine, ideally .89 oz; per cone.
When making a bag of cotton candy, clip the bag under one of the
web clamps nearest you (after shaking the bag open). Let the cotton
candy fill the pan from the web to the spinning head. Reach in with
your hand (use disposable plastic gloves) and pullout the cotton
candy. Twirl and place into the bag. Repeat one more time and you
are ready to'tie (twist tie) the bag for sale. Portion - 2 full
swirls. Approximate perfect yield: 12 bags per pound of m1xed
product. ideally 1,3 ozs. product per bag.

G. The cotton candy equipment ts manufactured by Gold Medal or
Cretors. There are several mac~ines available. The top of
the line is the Tornado Machine. This machine has the capacity
of producing 352 cones per hour. It needs a 100 volt 30 amp
common outlet. ,the options that are needed are the grip
stabilizer (which prevents the floss frQl flying out of the
pan), a pan cover (to be used ~en the ..chine is not in use)
and a maintenance kit. For visual i~lCt. production should
be at the point of sale and divorced frQl your concession stands
in a kiosk type enclosure. In arena bUild1nys. have the cotton
candy operation on the concourse. Gold Meda 's Unifloss Stand
will house the Tornado Machine, store ingredients, exhaust the
arOlla and trap "ying bits of candy. Vendors are needed to
complement your kiosk and max1.ize your sales.
To insure fOOd yield, control sheets with yield schedules and 0,
cone counts should always be utilized.
H. Cotton candy sold over the counter needs no bags (check with
local Board of Health). Humidity can cause substantial shrinkage
of product. Pick coolest location for production. Store
finished product in walk-in refrigerator, if possible. Plastic
bags should be tied firmly to sticks to prevent air from
entering. Twist base of the stick for the same reason.
I. Have your production at point of sale for visual and aromatic
impact.
4. PURCHASE UNIT
A. Sugar - Purchase in 25 or 50 lb. bags (beet or cane). Coarse
sugar is best when waste is considered, but regular grain sugar
is best when peak volume cone business (made to order) is the
objective. Do not purchase 100 lb. bags (avoid back injury
claims).
B. Flossine - Purchase by the can (1 lb. per can) - Cherry red,
strawberry red, raspberry blue are recommended colors/flavors.
Lime green is also popular.
C. Cotton candy cones - Purchase by the case or box, depending
upon need. Use basic white (I,OOO/box, 4,OOO/case).
D. Cotton candy bags - Purchase by the case (1,000 per case).
Use pictorial bag to enhance merchandising. Twist ties are
packed in the case.
5. THE RECIPE
The recipe for mixing the sugar and the flossine is on the fJossine
can. Mix according to the amount you will need by using 2 tablespoons
(1 oz.) of f10ssine per 10 lbs. of sugar, or use 1/10 oz. of f10ssine
for each pound of sugar used.

A. If you are'planning to use cotton candy regularly, obtain a
copy of Gold Medal's Cotton Candy Guidebook and apply it to
your operation. ,
B. Do not buy sugar in 100 lb. bags, as it is too heavy to handle
safely. Avoid back injury clai.s.
C. Coarse sugar is recommended as there will be less sugar waste
because it will not be thrown through the ribbon before melting.
However, a regular grain sugar works faster (it will melt
faster, but there will be some waste. If you have peak rushes
for cones to order, use regular grain sugar. Do not use extra
fine grain if making bagged cotton candy. Prior to an event, '
coarse sugar is best. ",

3.
INGREDIENT LISTING
A. Cubed Ice (converted to shaved
B. Pre-mixed flavored drink base
C. Sno cone cups
D. Spoon straw
ice)
4. PURCHASE UNIT
A. Ice - Use cubed ice, as it works best in a sno cone machine.
If purchasing ice, use the cubed ice that you would normally
purchase for your soft drinks.
B. Pre-mixed drink base
Flavors - cherry, grape, orange and lime are the best flavors
Syrup - purchase by the case, 4-1 gallons to a case. There
are sno cone syrups available. which are basically mixed by
the supplier. They contain a stiffening agent to hold the syrup
on top of the ice.
C. Cups - Use a 10 oz. sno cone cup. Buy a simple patterned cup
(5,000 cups/case).
D. Spoon straws - Bulk pack, 250 straws/box; 40 boxes/case.
Purchase by the box or case, depending upon your need.
5. THE RECIPE
Using a 6 oz. sno cone scoop, scoop a ball of shaved ice and place
it into a 10 oz. sno cone cup. Dispense one ounce of flavored syrup
evenly over the ball of shaved ice to completely cover the ice.
Stick a spoon straw into the ice and serve.
.-
Read Gold Medal's guide book on sno cones. It will detail how to
use their products, should you decide to make your own syrup. While
this is perhaps more economical, it is not practiced if volume is
low. '

Jumbo Soft Pretzel

Jumbo Soft Pretzel
2. STANDARD PORTION
One 5.5 oz. pre-baked salted soft pretzel
i - t oz. mustard
One sheet 10-3/4" x 12" deli wrap or pictorial pretzel bag. if vended.
(Melted cheddar cheese is a popular option)
"
3. INGREDIENT LISTING
Same as Standard Portion, as this is a ready made. pre-baked product.
4. PURCHASE UNIT
A, Jumbo soft pretzel . Purchase by the case. They are packed
50 per case. Each pretzel is pre-baked and weighs 5.5 OlS.
,each. A salt pouch is packed with each case so that the pretzels
can be salted. Purchase only from the approved national
supplier, See Purchasing Guide.
B. Mustard - Same as hot dog mustard purchase unit.
C. Wax paper - Same as hot dog wrap.
O. Stick for cheese pretzel (also used for control).
5. THE RECIPE
Preparation of the frozen, pre-baked soft pretzel varies because
each unit has only certain equipment available, however, there are
some basic techniques that can be applied:
A. The frozen pretzel should be removed from, the freezer in the
amounts to be used. Thawing and refreezing cannot be done loaS
effectively~ If the product has not been heated, the chances
are better, but you may not always be successful.
B. If a conventional pretzel oven or convection oven is used for
heating the pretzel, the time from the freezer to the oven can
be very brief. In fact, you can work right out of the freezer
and into the oven.
If heating cabinets are being utilized for heating, the pretzel
should be thawed out. In this case, remove an hour or so before
heating. When thawing out cases of pretzels. avoid stacking
the cases, as this holds in the cold. Spread them out.
EX H lilT .....
Page ~o of .r'~
CUVUTIOI CUTU COIClSSIOI AUIUUT
If no bulk heating syst.. is available, the pretzels (in the
amount that can be produced ~ sold without heating equipment)
should be'removed at least two or three hours prior to being ,
put in a pretzel display case under heat lamps. The ..rginally
heated pretzels can then be transferred to the display cases'
on the front counter for merchandising and holding before sale.
Pretzels can also be heated under the lights before the shutter
is raised. Place the pretzels on whitt deli paper on top of
the popcorn.
.
C. If the pretzels are purchased unsalted. as 1s pri..rily the
case. .the salt must be applted NIIually. Salt can be ltghtly
sprinkled on the top of the pretzel after it is sprayed with
a ,ftne mist of , water. The spray bottle should be used only
, for this purpose. A mist is all that is needed. Too much
_..~.,., moisture will cause tnepretzel's caramel colored skin to peel.
D. '.., It is reconmended that pretzels be taken from the case, salted
and then placed on perforated sheet pans for heating~ The
perforated pans allow for better air and heat flow than solid
pans. The trays of salted pretzels can be stored in an open
style Cres-Cor rack until ready to heat.
After She pretzels are heated in a convection oven for 10 minutes
at 450 . they are transferred into (low) moisture controlled.
(lowl heated Cres-Cor cabinets and distributed to the various
selling locations. The low moisture is needed as the pretzel '
loses some moisture when heated. The low temperature setting
is used for holding, as "drying out" the pretzel is less risky
at a low heat setting. ' ,
If only Cres-Cor cabinets are available for both heating and
holding storage, then the similarly prepped, freshly salted
pretzelS are placed directly into the Cres-cor cabinets where
they will be heated and held for sale.
The cabinets should be turned on to a high heat setting for
35 to 40 minutes before the desired serving time. Dry heat
is used here initially as the pretzels have not been preheated.
Once they have been heated to the desired serving texture and
temperature (taste test), lower the temperature of the cabinet
and add a limited amount of moisture to reduce drying the product
out. Rotate product.
If you are using Cres-Cor cabinets to prep'pretzels for several
locations, then a number of cabinets are needed and a systBl
of product rotation must be used. Much thought must be given
to thawing as well.
When limited equipment is available, pretzels can be transferred
by warehouse clerks from the prep area to each location~. While
this may not seem cost effective at first, remember that the
pretzel is a low cost/high per cap item.

Co.VUTIOI CUTU CO.CESSIo. ACIlEUUT
Although quality of the product will not be the same as when
heated with a convection oven or Cres-cor unit, pretzels can
be prepar~,in the stand, without special equipment. In this
case, the pretzels should be thawed out at rOQl temperature,
salted and placed in a pretzel display case or under the warmer
lights. They will not be as hot, but the pretzel consumer will, '
not b. dissatisfied. as the pretzel is great even at just above
rOQl temperature, which it will be. You cannot shorten the
thawing process when heating equipltnt is not being used, so
insure that the pretzels are well thawed and that even the chill
frQl the freezer has {on.. It is also harder to keep up w1tn
aemancl us 1 ng th1 s 1 at It method.
E. Pretzels can be successfully vended with styrofo" boxes, or
hot boxes. Bags are preferred here, as the pretzel must be
passed along many patrons at times. Portion control mustard
can be placed in each bag, if desired, although not necessary.
Bags also keep the pretzel from losing some of its heat and
moisture content. Wax paper can also be used if desired. In
this case, mustard shoula be applied by the vendor at the time
of sale (when requested by the customer),
