With the current economic climate affecting all arms of the catering business, the last thing anyone needs is a complaint about undercooked produce or a cold meal. To this end, Catersales, the expert providers of Professional Catering Equipment are launching a guide to storing hot food successfully.

According to the Food Safety (General Food Hygiene Regulations) 1995 Checking temperatures does not always involve probing food with a thermometer. For cooking or cooling, you may have established that a certain combination of time and temperature in the oven gives an acceptable result. Batch by batch, it may be good enough just to check that the setting is correct and the batch is processed for the right time. Periodically there should be a cross check using a probe thermometer.
 
A spokesperson from Catersales, the leading suppliers of Coffee Machines, Commercial Cooking Equipment and Professional Catering Equipment, said, “The Food Standards Agency estimate that approximately that 500 people die in the UK each year from food poisoning, so this is something that cannot be taken for granted when storing hot food professionally.
