Warm plates mean happy diners
When dining out, nothing is more infuriating than paying good money, only for your hot meal to be served on a cold plate. Well now, there really is no excuse because Catering Equipment Ltd has the answer.
Serving hot food on hot plates enhances the dining experience and provides many benefits.
Temperature Retention: Cold plates start taking the heat out of food as soon as it’s put on the plate which is not ideal for slow eaters or large meals. Hot plates help maintain the temperature of the food for a longer period, ensuring the meal stays warm and enjoyable.
Flavor Enhancement: Many dishes, especially those with a Jus or Sauce, taste better when served hot or at certain temperatures. The warmth can enhance the flavours and aromas, making the meal more appetizing.
Presentation: Ever experienced the wow factor of a meal served on sizzling hot plates in a Curry House? The steam rising from the dish can make it look more appealing and fresh.
Safety: Perhaps most importantly, hot food served on hot plates reduces the risk of bacterial growth. Hot plates help in maintaining food safety standards.
Customer Satisfaction: Ultimately, serving hot food on hot plates shows attention to detail and care for the customer's dining experience. It can leave a lasting positive impression and encourage repeat visits.
