Chefs, cooks and other s
personnel employ varied methods of cooking. Proper
holding temperatures for a specific food product
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.
If the unit is equipped with a thermostat indicating
a range of between 1 and 10,use a metal-stemmed
indicating thermometer to measure the internal
temperature of the product(s) being held. Adjust the
thermostat setting to achieve the best overall setting
based on internal product temperature.
