To this end, Catersales, the expert providers of professional catering equipment are launching a guide to storing hot food successfully.
A spokesperson from Catersales, the leading suppliers of coffee machines, commercial cooking equipment and professional catering equipment, said, ‘It is essential to adhere to official guidelines where food storage is concerned and crucial that food is kept at the correct temperature.’
If companies have responsible professional catering storage policies then food will be protected from dangerous micro-organisms such as Salmonella, Ecoli and Listeria. 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.
There are strict legal guidelines for the storage of hot food in professional catering equipment. The Food Standards Agency state that ‘when you are keeping, serving or displaying cooked hot food you must keep it at 63 degrees Centigrade or above’.
Catersales offer a complete service with products available online to meet any planning deadlines, and work to supply refrigeration and catering equipment to sandwich bars, coffee shops, restaurants and the wider hospitality throughout the UK.
The Comersa Deluxe hot food display is the ideal solution to your storage needs and makes use of overhead quartz heated lighting on a dimmer switch, the option of either wet well bain-marie or heated flat bed system and up to two internal glass shelves for ambient display, for the ultimate hot food storage facility.
