Chicken was observed at 60F on the center of the container and 55F around the edges - showing that the inside portions were insulated from cooling. Beef had been cut into cubes this morning and returned to the hotel pan. All the beef portions were 50F. Person in Charge discarded both beef and chicken due to the risk of it causing bacterial intoxication illness. Based on conversation and observation, the chicken and beef had been placed warm into deep hotels pans, at least six inches deep, and put into the walk-in cooler. This is not an effective method of cooling. Inspector and person in charge discussed how cooked foods should be cooled in shallow pans not deeper than two and a half inches, or spread out on sheets not thicker than two and a half inches to cool effectively and keep the food safe. During cooling, food can be left fully uncovered.
