The holding temperatures listed are suggested guidelines.
General Holding Guideline
Chefs, cooks and other specialized food service
personnel employ varied methods of cooking.
Proper holding temperatures for a specific food
p
roduct must be based on the moisture content of
the product, product density, volume, and proper
serving temperatures. Safe holding temperatures
must also be correlated with palatability in
determining the length of holding time for a
specific product.
Halo Heat maintains the maximum amount of
product moisture content without the addition of
water, water vapor, or steam. Maintaining
maximum natural product moisture preserves the
natural flavor of the product and provides a more
genuine taste. In addition to product moisture
retention, the gentle properties of Halo Heat
maintain a consistent temperature throughout the
cabinet without the necessity of a heat distribution
fan, thereby preventing further moisture loss due to
evaporation or dehydration.
When product is removed from a high
temperature cooking environment for immediate
transfer into equipment with the lower temperature
required for hot food holding, condensation can
form on the outside of the product and on the inside
of plastic containers used in self-service
applications. Allowing the product to release the
initial steam and heat produced by high temperature
cooking can alleviate this condition. To preserve the
safety and quality of freshly cooked foods, however,
a maximum of 1 to 2 minutes must be the only time
period allowed for the initial heat to be released
from the product.
Most Halo Heat Holding Equipment is provided
with a thermostat control between 60° and 200°F
(16° to 93°C). If the unit is equipped with vents,
close the vents for moist holding and open the vents
for crisp holding.
