Check hot held items every 30-60 minutes during service. Use a calibrated probe thermometer inserted into the centre of the food. If any item drops below the minimum, reheat to the required core temperature or discard.
A service-period temperature log for monitoring hot held food items on buffets, bain-maries, hot plates, and heat lamps. Record temperatures at the start of service and at regular intervals to ensure all items remain above the safe minimum throughout the holding period.
Hot held food that drops below safe temperatures enters the danger zone where bacteria multiply rapidly. This log provides the CCP documentation that proves your hot holding controls are working — the record health inspectors check first at any buffet or carvery operation.
