What is the proper way to fill insert pans with sauce at the cut table?

Filling insert pans with sauce at the cut table should be done to a level that only covers the brush. This practice ensures that the sauce remains easily accessible for the staff applying it to the pizzas without excessive spillage. When the sauce is filled only high enough to cover the brush, it minimizes waste and keeps the work area cleaner and more efficient. Additionally, this method allows for better control while applying the sauce, enabling staff to avoid over-saucing the pizzas, which could compromise the final product's quality.

Filling the pans to the top would lead to unnecessary mess and potential cross-contamination, while filling them halfway could restrict the ability to coat the brush effectively, increasing the time it takes to complete orders. Similarly, filling until the sauce touches the handle could also lead to overflow and hinder smooth operation. Hence, the most functional and efficient approach is to fill the pans just enough to cover the brush.
