Findings: On 07/12/21 at 9:57 AM, during the initial kitchen observation, the cook and dietary aides prepared food that would be placed onto the steam table for the lunch meal and prepped the steam table with metal warming pan inserts. An open rack of washed and nested metal pots and pans was observed on the wall by the walk-in freezer. There were five steam table pan inserts that were 6 inches deep noted to be wet and nested on top of each other. Drops of water were observed on the pans when removed from on top of each other. There were 2 metal baking sheets that were also wet on the same rack nested on top of each other. At this time, the Dietary Manager (DM) acknowledged the warming inserts and baking sheets were not dry.
