Great stuff. To the point.
Hi
Simple easy to do online
It was cool to learn safe cooking, holding, and storage temperatures for different foods. Understanding the Danger Zone & how bacteria grow rapidly within it. Also how to use food thermometers correctly.
The AI voice sucks. At several points, it clearly misunderstood the language it was reading. It also made it hard to pay attention. Just hire someone to do the read next time
I like how easy it is and that is step by step
