Which item includes both a shake time and a reconstitution step after holding?

• A. Cheddar Bites
• B. Boneless Wings
• C. Croutons
• D. Cookies

Answer: (B)

The concept being tested is how some menu items require proactive steps to maintain coating, texture, and moisture during and after holding. A shake time is a brief tossing or shaking step used to distribute coating or sauce evenly and to settle the item before it’s placed on the line. Reconstitution after holding is a follow-up action after the item has been kept hot, meant to restore the intended texture and level of sauciness by tossing again or adding a touch more sauce. Boneless wings fit both because they are fried and sauced. After cooking, a shake time helps ensure the sauce coats evenly and the surface is consistent before holding. Then, after they’ve been kept hot, a reconstitution step is used to refresh the coating and moisture so every bite remains uniform in taste and texture. The other items listed don’t typically involve both saucing and post-hold re-tossing, so they don’t require both steps.
