keep food

temperatures at

or hotter:

135°F (57°C).

Explanation:

The temperature of 135°F (57°C) is perfect for keeping hot foods hot until you decide to eat or serve them. Chafing dishes, steam tables, and heated cabinets are actually created with this purpose of handling very high temperatures when it comes to foods. If the temperature is lower, the food will not be cooked well. If it's a lot higher than 135°F (57°C), then it might get burnt.
