Very informative the talking was too fast

December 4, 2022

Details were great, info was great. I wish the speaking and slides were slower, it was hard to even pause in time to take notes, and if you miss it you have to start the whole module recording over to review the info. Better than being in a classroom though.

Clear, Helpful, and Essential for Food Safety

May 22, 2025

This page was extremely helpful in teaching me how to properly handle food. It explained important safety guidelines such as the temperature danger zone, proper cooking and reheating temperatures, safe thawing methods, and how to avoid cross-contamination. The information was presented in a clear and easy-to-understand way, with practical tips that I can use every day in the kitchen.

I especially appreciated how it emphasized the importance of using a food thermometer and keeping foods out of the danger zone. Whether you’re new to food handling or reviewing for a certification like ServSafe, this page is a great resource.

Highly recommend it for anyone who wants to handle food safely and prevent foodborne illness.

Veronica V.

So slow and can't skip

May 22, 2025

So slow and can’t skip. If you move to the next module it is locked until you complete the previous one. It starts over if you move from a current one without finishing.
