What time frame do we take steaks out of the freezer and place them in the walk-in the day prior to using?

The correct time frame for taking steaks out of the freezer and placing them in the walk-in the day prior to using is 2-4 pm. This timing is important because it allows the steaks enough time to thaw safely while minimizing the risk of bacterial growth.

Typically, a gradual thawing process is preferred, as it maintains the quality and safety of the meat. Placing the steaks in the walk-in during this time frame ensures that they can be fully thawed by the time they need to be prepared the next day, while also adhering to food safety standards.

Other time frames may not provide sufficient time for proper thawing or could place steaks at temperatures that promote bacteria growth if thawed too late in the day. Ensuring a safe and efficient thawing process is crucial for maintaining food safety and quality in food service operations like Jersey Mike's.
