Cool foods quickly—from 135°F (57°C) to 70°F (21°C) within 2 hours and to 41°F (5°C) within an additional 4 hours for a total cooling time of 6 hours.
To facilitate cooling:
- Divide food into shallow containers or cut food into smaller pieces.
- Use ice-water baths and/or cooling wands.
- Substitute ice for water during cooling when water is an ingredient.
Check temperatures to ensure food has been cooled quickly enough.
