start up catering business

[ncountrycat]

NH law requires that refrigerated food maintain certain temp. How do most caterers who are catering off-site maintain these temps. What equipment is used in trasportation and also at catering site, if commerical kitchen is unavailable. Just starting out so I don't have refrigerated truck/van. But for my licensing I need to be able to show how I'm going to maintain these temps.

In the beginning Coolers with Lots of Ice Packs, do not use Dry Ice Way to many issues, we have 12 VERY large coolers and 15 smaller ones for drop offs and sandwich deliveries.

There are many great catering products available for off premise catering that will help you maintain hot or cold food temperatures for transportation usage, without having to bye a refridgeration truck. Some of these products include cater coolers, heated insulated utility carriers, insulated carriers, and heated and not heated proofing cabinents. A great place to find these products is at www.catererswarehouse.com. They have tons of great products and very helpful sales reps. Check them out or give them a call. Hope this helps!

You should check out http://us.cambro.com/. Cambro makes EXCELLENT products for transporting, prepping and holding both hot and cold products. I used to use ice chests, but they don't hold a candle to the heat or cold retention properities of Cambro Carriers!
