1. Preheat at 200°F for 30 minutes.
Allow a minimum of 30 minutes for preheating
before loading the banquet cart with product.
2. Load the cart with hot food only.
The purpose of the banquet cart is to maintain
hot food at proper serving temperature. Only
hot food should be placed into the banquet cart.
Before loading the cart with food, use a food
thermometer to make certain all products have
reached an internal temperature range of 140°
to 160°F (60° to 71°C). Any food product not
within the proper temperature range should be
heated before loading into the banquet cart. For
best results, use a Halo Heat Low Temperature
Cooking and Holding Oven set at 250° to 275°F
(121° to 135°C), or a Combitherm oven, to bring
the product within the correct temperature range.
3. Load covered plates or carriers into the
banquet cart.
After the food has reached proper
serving temperature:
A.
Use HEATED plates only.
B.
Load
each series of four (4) plates into the
banquet cart as soon as assembled and as
quickly as possible to retain maximum heat.
C.
Load the plates in the upper section of the
banquet cart first.
D. Securely close the door(s) of the banquet cart
after loading.
4. Reset the thermostat to desired
temperature.
After the cart has been completely filled with
product, check to make certain the doors are
securely closed, and reset the thermostat to to
the desired holding temperature or the suggested
180°F (82°C).
The proper temperature range for the products
being held, and whether or not to open or close
the door vents, will depend on the type and
quantity of product. When holding food for
prolonged periods, it is advisable to periodically
check the internal temperature of each item with
a food thermometer to assure maintenance of the
proper temperature range of 140° to 160°F
(60° to 71°C).
5. Unload covered plates, trays or plate
carriers as needed.
A. Unload the items from the lower section of
the cart first, and work up toward the top
of the cart.
B. Securely close the door(s) of the cart after each
product removal.
