Keep Your Buffet Food Hot and Safe
Learn why it's important to keep buffet food hot and how to do it safely.
Buffet food that falls into the temperature danger zone can be unappetizing and unsafe. Pathogens in food grow quickly between 41-135°F. Hot holding temperatures should stay above 135°F. As a food handler, it's crucial to keep held food out of the temperature danger zone. Regularly check food warmers, steam tables, and hot holding units to ensure food stays hot and safe.
