REHS observed employees taking pizzas from service line and placing into hot holding cabinet. Temperatures ranged from 129-134F. Hot holding cabinets are for hot holding ONLY. If pizzas have fallen below 135F they are to either be cooled down or reheated in oven. After removing from service line pizzas and pizzas are below 135F they should be put onto prep table for reheat or put directly into oven. Do not put into hot holding cabinets.
