A crock pot of gravy was found in the back-room fridge at approximately 45°C. Inspector reviewed proper cooling techniques with the cook (e.g., cooling in smaller batches, frequent stirring, ice bath). When asked about reheating procedures, staff indicated the gravy was placed directly into hot holding by turning the crock pot to “high.” Crock pots do not reheat food quickly enough. High-risk foods must be reheated to 74°C as quickly as possible before hot holding and then maintained at 60°C (140°F) or above. Inspector advised staff to boil the leftover gravy on the stove to reach 74°C, then transfer to the crock pot for hot holding only once. High-risk foods like gravy must not be reheated multiple times; any leftovers after hot holding must be discarded. Staff confirmed they would discard the gravy.
