Reminder: Only hot food can be placed in a hot hold unit for hot holding at above 60.0C. Hot hold unit does not cook food and will not bring up the temperature of cooled food fast enough to a safe temperature. Please discontinue this practice. Either heat up all the skewers to 74.0C prior to placing in the hot hold unit or keep them cool until someone orders and cook when order.
