NEW: ANGUS THICKBURGER Angus Thickburgers are received and stored frozen. Wash and sanitize your hands before handling any food product. Open a case of frozen Angus Thickburger patties. 1. Line a clean, sanitized tray for Angus Thickburger patties with a plastic food wrap. The trays for beef patties must be a different color than the ORANGE trays used for chicken. The current standard is to use a RED tray for the Angus Thickburger patty. In some cases, a branch may use a different color and that is acceptable as long as the request is submitted to Hardee s International. The tray should be lined with plastic wrap. Do not place patties directly on tray. 2. Wearing clean, disposable plastic gloves, place a maximum of: Angus Thickburger Patties: 8 patties on a tray. 3. Arrange the meat patties so they do not overlap or touch each other. If the meat patties overlap or touch, they will not thaw properly. 4. Cover with the plastic food wrap. Plastic food wrap should completely cover the top, bottom, and four sides of the meat patties. 5. Label each tray using the day label system. Angus Thickburger patties thaw in 12 hours. Use within 4 days including thaw time. 6. Place trays of patties on the thaw rack in the walk-in cooler. Place above raw chicken to prevent cross contamination. To prevent cross-contamination, do not store other products, such as chicken, above thawing meat patties. 7. Rotate previously thawed patties to a position above newly trayed frozen Angus Thickburger patties. Always use the top tray first. Thaw to 36 to 40 F. DO NOT heat partially frozen patties.
