New Model P125W/82 for Re-Heating Food

For UK customers, Comark has also launched the new Waterproof Pocketherm model P125W/82, which complies with the United Kingdom Food Standards Agency “House Rules Temperature Control” for HACCP, that reheated food must reach an internal temperature of 82°C. With an upper cooked temperature limit set to 82°C, food is reheated perfectly every time.

How can temperatures be used to keep food safe?

In catering operations, the following practices are recommended to keep food safe:

Refrigeration	A food temperature of 8°C or below is effective in controlling the multiplication of most bacteria in perishable food. It is recommended practice to operate refrigerators and chills at 5°C or below.
Freezing	Freezing of food at temperatures of -18°C or below will prevent bacteria multiplying.
Cooking	Temperatures of 75°C or above are effective in destroying almost all types of bacteria. However, cooking temperatures below this level are also effective provided that the food is held at these temperatures for a suitable time period.
Hot Holding	Temperatures above 63°C will control the multiplication of bacteria in hot food.
Cooling	Food should be cooled as quickly as possible and then refrigerated. This will limit the growth of any bacteria or germination of spores that may be present.
Reheating	All food that has previously been heated and is to be re-heated, must be raised to a temperature of 82°C, which will ensure that food has been reheated to a safe and, in some cases, legally required temperature. Using a suitable time/temperature combination will also ensure that food has been reheated safely should higher temperatures be detrimental to the quality of the food, for example reaching a core temperature of 70°C for 2 minutes.
