sandwich) During the lunch peak period After lunch/before dinner After dinner

(2) Record internal temperatures on a daily Beef Cook-out log You are required to check both Original WHOPPER® and

hamburger patty cook-out temperatures, at least four times per day Restaurants with extended hours of operations (e.g., 24 hours)

must perform additional meat patty temperature checks every 4-6 hours during extended hours

2. Explain Beef Cook-out procedures; include all temperature requirements. (BK Ops Manual Pg. 12)

(1) Turn on the broiler, wait a minimum of 40 minutes (initial check only)(2) Clean and sanitize thermometer probe and standard restaurant serving

the chain and the second patty on the side away from the gas input(4) Capture both patties as they release from the cooking chain, on a standard

restaurant serving tray or PHU pan(5) Immediately, within 1 – 3 seconds, pick up the patty that was on the side

away from the gas input and place it on top of the center patty(6) Insert the tip of the sanitized thermometer probe into the center of the top

patty at about a 45° angle(7) Time

Begin timing when the display reads at least 155°F (68°C) The temperature must be maintained from 155°F (68°C) to 170°F

(77°C) for a minimum of 15 seconds. The temperature should not exceed 170°F (77°C).

temperature and the lower half of the box to record the final recorded temperature

If you have attained the correct temperature in the initial reading, record it in the lower half of the box
