What do I need before using time & temperature?
Before using time & temperature, ensure you:
Set up your products and food handling processes on the Jolt web app.
Understand "target temperature," which is the required threshold food must reach within a specified time.
Understand "step duration," which is the time interval that food must be heated, cooled, or held at a specific temperature.
Know that foods can be assigned to different processes to prevent errors.
The two types of food safety methods:
Heat/cool method: Food must reach a target temperature within a specific time. If the target isn't met, the process will be flagged as "failed."
Hold method: Food must be held at a specific temperature for a set period. Measurements can be taken anytime during this period, but a temperature must be recorded near the end of the hold period during the "measurement window."
What is the purpose of time & temperature?
Time & temperature is designed to record temperature and time data, not to dictate food handling procedures. It helps you verify that food was managed according to your established processes.
