Holidays or Party buffets

Holiday meals and buffets often involve large quantities of food, extended serving periods, and many people handling dishes. Plan ahead for safe thawing, cooking, hot and cold holding, and prompt refrigeration of leftovers.

Use separate utensils for each dish and replenish buffet foods with fresh portions rather than topping up food that has sat out.
