Question

question 9 of 35
when you use equipment like steam tables, soup warmers and deli hot cases to keep food hot, how do you know that the food is hot enough?
there are tight lids over the food.
the temperature control knob is set on high
you can see and feel hot steam that comes from the food.
you use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature of the food.

Explanation:

To determine if food is hot enough in holding equipment, a food thermometer is the reliable method to check internal temperature (food safety standards emphasize measuring internal temp). Tight lids, knob setting, or steam don't accurately confirm safe hot temperatures.

Answer:

D. You use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature of the food.
