Cooking for groups

Cooking for groups requires planning for food quantities, equipment capacity, preparation space, and safe temperature control. Assign responsibility for monitoring food temperatures, handwashing facilities, and separation of raw and ready-to-eat foods.

Use multiple shallow containers to cool large batches and ensure there is adequate refrigerator capacity before preparing food.
