c. Storage of Fresh Fish

(2. )Assume that you are the kitchen supervisor for a resort hotel. Your Sunday brunch normally includes scrambled eggs. Your cooks have been preparing them in a steamer and serving them in a chafing dish; customers then help themselves. The quality of this product is not as good as you would like it to be, but the alternative of scrambling a few eggs at a time to order is not viable. You could purchase frozen scrambled eggs packed in 5 pound Cryovac bags. These eggs need only to be steam-heated for 20 minutes. Their quality, in your opinion is superb. The Ap price is very high, however-approximately three times the price of fresh eggs. What do you suggest? If possible, ask a resort hotel’s food and beverage director or kitchen supervisor to comment on your answer.
