Set Up
Gather a stock pot and a bag of taco meat.
Inspect the bag of taco meat to make sure there aren't any holes.
Cold Water
Fill the stock pot approximately halfway full with cold water.
Hot water can make the bags burst.
Add Bag of Pork
Add the bag of taco meat to the cold water and set the burner to medium low heat.
High heat can make the bags burst.
Heat to Temp
Rotating the bag every 15 mins, heat the bag of taco meat to 165°.
Drain the Taco Meat
Use a bag cutter to open the bag of taco meat in a 1/3 pan.
Carefully drain the taco meat by pouring it into a china cap strainer (strainer needs to be over a stock pot to catch the draining grease, discard cooled grease in trash).
Allow taco meat to drain for 5 mins.
Pan Up
Divide the taco meat evenly into (2) 1/6 pans.
Place in the hot table for service, or wrap with plastic and store in the hot box for later use.
Remember to use FIFO when placing in hot box.
