Be Prepared for Emergencies
Be prepared for fires, injuries, or other emergencies.
Keep a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher near the equipment. You must use a 40- pound Type BC fire extinguisher and keep it within 25 feet of your equipment.
Keep emergency numbers for doctors, ambulance services, hospitals, and the fire department near your telephone.
Know your responsibilities as an Employer
•Make certain your employees know how to operate the equipment.
•Make certain your employees are aware of the safety precautions on the equipment and in this manual.
•Make certain that you have thoroughly trained your employees about operating the equipment safely.
•Make certain the equipment is in proper working condition. If you make unauthorized modifications to the equipment, you will reduce the function and safety of the equipment.
Health And Sanitation Practices
BKI Rotisserie Ovens are manufactured to comply with health regulations and are tested and certified to NSF standards. You must operate the equipment properly, using only quality products and use meat thermometers to insure meats are thoroughly cooked.
Food Handling
•Wash hands thoroughly in warm, soapy water after handling raw poultry or meats.
•Clean and sanitize all utensils and surfaces that have been in contact with raw products. Clean and sanitize the meat forks or baskets between cooking.
•Never place cooked meats on the same surfaces used to prepare raw meats, unless the area has been thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.
Storage Of Raw Meats
•Designate an area or shelf strictly for the storage of all raw meats to be used in the rotisserie.
•Raw product must always be stored at temperatures below 38° F. (3° C.).
•Never store or mix raw foods above cooked foods, as this is a health hazard. The drippings from raw foods contaminate cooked or processed foods.
•All chicken and chicken parts to be stored overnight must be thoroughly iced down and refrigerated.
Coding Cooked Foods
All products cooked during the day should be sold the same day.
NOTE: It is not the intent of the rotisserie program to have unsold merchandise at the end of the cooking day. Follow your company’s procedures for the handling of any leftover product.
Storage Of Prepared Foods
•Cold foods should be kept at or below 38° F. (3° C.).
•Hot foods must be maintained to meet local health codes, usually a minimum 145° F. (63° C.).
