What is the correct procedure for transferring Tater Chips once they are seasoned?

Transferring Tater Chips into the transfer pan after they are seasoned is the correct procedure because it ensures that they are ready to be moved for further cooking processes, serving, or storage. Using a transfer pan helps in maintaining the quality of the chips and allows for more efficient handling. This step is critical as it guarantees that the seasoned chips are placed appropriately for their next phase, whether it is cooking or serving.

Other options may not be suitable as they either occur too late in the process, such as cooking them to the desired crispiness, which goes beyond the seasoning phase, or involve steps like freezing or cooling that are not directly related to the proper handling of seasoned chips before they are ready for the next stage of preparation.
