I was literally thawing a steak on the counter and put it in the fridge, then watched the section on thawing food. đŸ™‚ Fun stuff.

Does exactly what it needs to, but the artificial voice is grating and the volume is inconsistent

Was good

Informative, but a lot of videos

September 20, 2025

This course was very helpful and taught me a lot of information that I will need when starting a food business. However, as someone who learns through interacting with problems and questions, rather that just watching videos, I think I could have learned more if there were more problems and questions to answer throughout the videos.
