• Once a food has been cooked to its proper temperature, it must be held hot, above 135 degrees.

• Cold food must be kept below 41 degrees.

T = Time & Temperature

Danger Zone• 41 degrees – 135 degrees• Anything potentially hazardous foods left in

the danger zone for more than 2 hours must be thrown away.

• Bacteria grow while in the danger zone. It produces toxic waste material that is not removed by reheating the food to 165 degrees.

T = TimeCooling Methods
