(RECOMMENDATION) Equipment is needed to hot hold food. Pizzas observed being wrapped and placed on top of the oven surface to keep warm until service. This practice can lead to foods being temperature abused. A warmer is beneficial in ensuring that the food temperature is being maintained hot at 135F or higher until service.

COMMENTS ABOUT HOT HOLDING FOODS: Although there are no hot holding cabinets in the kitchen (only a convection oven and conventional oven and stove top), it is still very important to maintain hot foods at 135F or above at all times before serving...Food must be portioned out into food containers quickly and then maintained in the ovens or on stove top at 135F or above until ready to serve...You may also consider using a hot water bath on the stove to keep pre-portioned food hot in containers (135F or above) right until the food is ready to go to the classrooms on carts...A follow-up visit will be made on Tuesday, March 23, 2010 to evaluate completion of Items #15 and #16 on this report.
