In discussion with Francis, the roast was cooked whole and then placed in cooler to cool. Provided education. Must cut all cooked meats into 6lb sections or less prior to cooling. 3. In discussion with Francis, bleach, water, and detergent soap are used to store wiping cloths. Provided education. Do not add soap to sanitizer.
