Le Chic Bistro keeps a hanging thermometer in the walk-in freezer. How can employees confirm the temperature in the freezer?
  1. Check temperature using a thermocouple with an air probe.
  2. Remove hanging thermometer from freezer and see if reading changes.
  3. Replace hanging thermometer twice a year.
  4. Buy a more expensive thermometer that will be more accurate.
Explanation
Answer: A - The employees of Le Chic Bistro should confirm that the temperature shown on the hanging thermometer in the walk-in freezer is accurate by using a thermocouple with an air probe. Hanging thermometers are good for daily checks of freezer temperature but should be double-checked for accuracy regularly. Thermometers can get bumped or dropped or may just wear out over time. Checking the accuracy of the thermometer can help Le Chic Bistro act on freezer temperature changes before the changes affect food safety.
