Detailed explanation-1: -Maintain hot food at 135°F or above.
Detailed explanation-2: -It is very important to keep food hot until serving to prevent harmful bacteria from growing. This includes foods comprising or containing meat, fish, eggs, milk, soft cheese, cereals (including rice and pasta), pulses and vegetables. If this is not possible, hot food can be displayed below 63°C for a maximum 2 hours.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hot hold units are meant to keep hot foods at 60°C (140°F) or hotter. At or above this temperature, pathogens will not grow. However, a mistake in using the hot hold unit can result in foods being held in the super danger zone – between 20°C and 49°C (70°F and 120°F), temperatures at which pathogens grow very quickly.
