Proper hot holding temperatures
PRIORITY VIOLATION-3-501.16(A)(1), P: Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food, Hot Holding. >>> Observed cooked chicken and mushrooms, mashed potatoes, marsala gravy, green beans and cooked hamburger patties hot holding in the steam table with internal temperatures of 97-110F, probe thermometer, verified by PIC. According to PIC, the hot TCS foods were placed into the steam table less than an hour prior to inspection. Leftovers will not be saved and the lunch service lasts around 45 minutes. Cook began reheating the burger patties. All TCS foods will be reheated to at least 165F. Maintaining cooked TCS foods at 135F or more during hot holding prevents significant regrowth of heat-injured microorganisms and prevents recontamination with bacteria that are newly introduced. >>> For a permanent fix to this violation, check out these simple tools in our Active Managerial Control Toolbox, made especially for you. https://www.maricopa.gov/4614/AMC-Toolbox---Hot-Holding.
