But cooking for a crowd is tricky! How do you store all that food? When is the food completely cooked? How long can you leave food on the buffet table? Now there is a workshop on Safe Food Handling designed specifically for Volunteers.<\/p>\n<p>This class meets the Good Shepherd Food Bank food safety training requirements.<\/p>\n<h3>Why attend?<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s a lot to learn about safe food preparation and handling. If you don\u2019t do it for a living, you may not be aware of all the special techniques involved in cooking for a large group of people.<\/p>\n<p>It is scary to think about people getting sick from your meal, but it can happen. More than three-quarters of the outbreaks are blamed on food eaten outside the home.<\/p>\n<p>While foodborne illness can be as mild as stomachache, it can be much more serious and sometimes fatal.<\/p>\n<p>Unsafe food can \u201cspoil\u201d your group\u2019s reputation \u2014 and its finances. Don\u2019t take a chance. Sign up for the \u201cCooking for Crowds\u201d workshop. Learn to protect yourself and the people you feed.<\/p>\n<h3>What you will learn<\/h3>\n<p>Learn up-to-date methods for safely preparing, handling, and serving food for large group functions such as soup kitchens, church functions, food pantries, and community fundraisers.<\/p>\n<p>Workshops cover the following food safety guidelines:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Planning and Purchasing<\/li>\n<li>Storing Food Supplies<\/li>\n<li>Preparing Food<\/li>\n<li>Transporting, Storing and Serving Cooked Foods<\/li>\n<li>Handling Leftovers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Materials fee:&nbsp;<\/strong>$15 per person.<\/p>\n<h3>Participants receive:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Cooking for Crowds \u2013 A manual specifically designed for volunteer cooks;<\/li>\n<li>Certificate of Attendance;<\/li>\n<li>Posters; and<\/li>\n<li>Instant Read Thermometer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Date:&nbsp;<\/strong>October 5, 2022<br \/>\n<strong>Registration Deadline:<\/strong>&nbsp;September 26, 2022<br \/>\n<strong>Time:<\/strong>&nbsp;10:00 AM \u2013 1:00 PM<br \/>\n<strong>Location:<\/strong>&nbsp;Online via Zoom<br \/>\n<strong>Price:<\/strong>&nbsp;$15<br \/>\n<strong>Register:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/register\/product\/cooking-for-crowds-october-5-2022-online-zoom\/\">Cooking for Crowds<\/a><\/p>\n<p>or<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong>&nbsp;October 14, 2022<br \/>\n<strong>Registration Deadline:<\/strong>&nbsp;October 3, 2022<br \/>\n<strong>Time:<\/strong>&nbsp;10:00 AM \u2013 1:00 PM<br \/>\n<strong>Location:<\/strong>&nbsp;Online via Zoom<br \/>\n<strong>Price:<\/strong>&nbsp;$15<br \/>\n<strong>Register:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/register\/product\/cooking-for-crowds-october-14-2022-online-zoom\/\">Cooking for Crowds<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cooking for Crowds Food Safety Training for Volunteers Many organizations and community groups rely on volunteers like you for a variety of food events for fundraising, fellowship, food pantries or [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":53,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","_tribe_events_is_hybrid":"","_tribe_events_is_virtual":"","_tribe_events_virtual_video_source":"","_tribe_events_virtual_embed_video":"","_tribe_events_virtual_linked_button_text":"","_tribe_events_virtual_linked_button":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_embed_at":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_embed_to":[],"_tribe_events_virtual_show_on_event":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_on_views":"","_tribe_events_virtual_url":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[],"class_list":["post-10002262","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","hentry","tribe-recurring-event","tribe-recurring-event-parent"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
