Mastering Kitchen Stock Rotation Techniques for Maximum Freshness

Storing and rotating food properly ensures that you are always serving food in the freshest and safest way. After you inspect your food delivery, be sure to store frozen foods in the freezer first, then refrigerated foods, and dry storage items last.

Maintain Proper Temperatures

Keep these temperatures in mind when storing food:

Frozen foods must maintain a maximum internal temperature of -18ºC or less
Refrigerated foods must maintain a maximum internal temperature of 5ºC or less
Dry storage items should be stored between 10-21ºC
An easy way to remember this is to check the temperature of stored food and storage areas at the beginning of each shift.

How to Rotate Food Product
After you’ve stored the items, rotate your existing stock using the First-In First-Out (or FIFO) method. This ensures that you are serving items stocked first before items stocked more recently. The FIFO method applies to frozen, refrigerated, and dry storage items. Here are some steps to follow the FIFO method:

Identify the expiration date on the food
Store items with the earliest expiration date in front of items with later dates
Once on the shelf, use the items stored in front first
