§229.164(h)(2) Yes. Utensils and food temperature measuring devices are direct food contact surfaces, which must be air dried or adequately dried after sanitization. Failure to dry could introduce unapproved levels of sanitizing solution into food. Acceptable methods of storage of in use utensils are addressed in §229.164(h)(2).
