How do you control time and temperature abuse?

  1. By cooking food at high temperatures

  2. Record temperatures and the times they were taken

  3. Store food at room temperature

  4. Use only non-perishable food

The correct answer is: Record temperatures and the times they were taken

One option is to store food at room temperature, but this can lead to bacterial growth and contamination. Another option is to use only non-perishable food, but this does not address the issue of temperature abuse. The best way to control time and temperature abuse is to record temperatures and the times they were taken. This allows for proper monitoring and adjustments to be made in cooking and storing food at safe temperatures.
