Question

to safely reheat a hazardous/high - risk food, you should use:
possible answers:
a) a steam table to reach an internal temperature of 67°c (155°f)
b) an oven to reach an internal temperature of 60°c (140°f)
c) the stovetop to rapidly reach an internal temperature of 74°c (165°f)
d) the microwave to reach an internal temperature of 65°c (149°f)

Explanation:

Safe reheating of high-risk foods requires reaching a temperature that kills harmful bacteria. 74°C (165°F) is the standard safe internal temperature for reheating, and rapid heating (e.g., stovetop) minimizes bacterial growth during the process. Other options have insufficient temperatures (A: 67°C, B: 60°C, D: 65°C) to ensure safety.

Answer:

C) The stovetop to rapidly reach an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F)
