Fort Lewis Experiment. Application of Food Technology and Engineering to Central Food Preparation

Abstract

The report details the findings of food technology studies directed toward establishment of central food preparation at Ft. Lewis, Washington. It is concluded that central food preparation has excellent possibilities for improving the feeding system. A basically chill system is recommended for the Ft. Lewis test with the recognition that there are logistic problems to be solved if it is extended to a larger operation. It is shown that changes are necessary in the Armed Service menus and recipes to adapt them to large scale preparation.
