steam wells very low, recommended water
be added so hot water contacts pans to
apply more heat to hot holding. For ten
ders, keep in one layer to keep in better
contact with heat. Get better thermometer
to allow for better temperature monitoring.
The type thermometer being used to moni
tor temperatures, bimetallic stem ther
mometer, is not accurate for monitoring
temperatures of thin foods. These type
thermometers need to be inserted into the
food a couple of inches to monitor temper
ature which is not easy when food items to
be monitored are very thin. Purchase ther
mometer that can read temperatures from
tip of shaft - digital - for better accuracy.
