Improving Food Presentation with Chef Michael’s Expertise
Problem
A retirement community was experiencing challenges with their peach cobbler and the ½ steam shallow aluminum pan it was prepared in – both were turning black for no known reason.
Solution
Chef Michael reviewed their process and recipe, as this was the only complaint ever for this big volume item. He discovered that the recipe had a mistake, almost 10x the amount of lemon juice that it required. Additionally, the retirement home prepped the cobbler 24 hours in advance and left the uncooked product refrigerated in the pan for this time. Both of these processes were the contributing factors to the black issue.
Result
The retirement community adjusted their recipe and process and the issue was resolved.
PVC Food Film and Improving Food Storage Processes
Problem
A catering company was experiencing tearing of PVC film that was being used to cover food.
Solution
Chef Michael visited the commissary kitchen to review the current process and determine why this was happening.

It was identified that the frozen, and very hard aluminum foil was puncturing the PVC when the product was handled.
Result
The catering company changed their process and had no further issues with the PVC film.
