How to Keep Food Hot

There is a fine line between keeping food hot enough for food safety and overcooking or drying out foods. Good cooks need techniques for holding food so it remains at the proper temperature but still stays tasty. Here are some techniques to keep food hot until it's served.

1. Water Shower Strategy 

Place the nourishment to be kept warm in a shallow skillet with a spread. 

Put some warm water in the base of a somewhat bigger and more profound skillet. 

Put the container holding the nourishment inside the dish holding the water. 

Place the container on a wellspring of enduring, low warmth. 

Supplant water that vanishes with warm water if necessary. 

2. Moderate Cooker Technique 

Utilize a moderate cooker or other kitchen apparatus (electric broil container, electric rice cooker, electric frying pan). 

Warm sustenance in the moderate cooker on high, or empty hot nourishment into it. 

Utilize the low or keep warm setting to keep sustenance hot. 

Keep a spread on the moderate cooker or other apparatus. 

3. Wrapping Technique 

Place hot sustenance in a protected sack or bearer. 

Wrap hot sustenance compartments in a few layers of aluminum foil, then in a cover in the event that you don't have a protected sack. 

4. Stove Strategy 

Place the stove on low warmth—underneath 200 degrees F (95 degrees C)— or on a warming setting. 

Place a shallow dish of warm water on the most minimal stove rack. 

Spread the nourishment to be kept warm. 

Place the nourishment dish on the rack over the water-filled container. 

Check nourishment much of the time to anticipate drying out or blazing.
