Cold Equipment Temperature Checks for Opening

by Chris Carlton, from the Community

Use this opening checklist to capture cold equipment temperatures across your operation. Log static thermometer readings for the custard table, walk-in fridge, freezer, JAR cooler, and catering cooler. Test two items from each filled location and record internal temperatures. Sanitize temperature probes before and after each test. Include date and time of completion and the staff member responsible to help maintain food safety compliance and consistent morning procedures.

Prep Kitchen Fridge and Freezer Temperature Checks
This morning checklist helps prep kitchens verify cold equipment performance and food safety. Record internal temperatures for each fridge and freezer, including walk-ins, confirm units meet safe ranges, and note cleaning status and unit counts. Instructions emphasize taking internal readings rather than relying on display panels and sanitizing temperature probes before and after each check. Capture completion details such as date, time, and responsible staff to support HACCP compliance and consistent operations.
