Cooling food requires proper temperature control. what is the best way to measure if the food is staying cold enough?

The best method or the tool for measuring the food temperature is thermometer.

Further Explanation:

Food preservation is the way of preserving the food using various methodologies that may include:

1. Chemicals  

2. Biochemicals

3. A cook-chill system

A cook-chill system is a food preservation technology wherein foods are fully cooked at around the temperature less than 100 C, then it is rapidly chilled, kept in refrigerator for storage, and finally reheated before serving.

This can help in preservation of nutritional and sensory properties of food and provide high-quality products.

During the storage period, the temperature conditions should be regulated so as to achieve the final core temperature above the freezing point, which provides an extended shelf life. The best method to measure whether the food is maintained cold or not can be done using thermometer.

During the starting thermal treatment step and controlled low-temperature storage, there is destruction and inhibition of microorganisms, like pathogens, are achieved.
