Food Safety

Answer: D - Rice pilaf that will be served from a steam table needs to be cooked to a minimum temperature of 135°F. Steam tables will not increase food temperature meaning the rice pilaf needs to be cooked properly before it can be held on the table. Fruit, vegetables, grains and legumes need to be cooked to at least 135°F and monitored to ensure the temperature of the food stays above 135°Fwhile on the steam table.
