STEAM TABLES
Steam tables are used to keep food hot during
serving by use of steam and hot water. Steam tables
(fig. 5-3) should be carefully inspected monthly and
yearly.
The MONTHLY inspection should include the
following:
Check the water compartment, steam coil,
valves, and piping for leaks and corrosion.
Check the steam pressure on the gauge, keeping
in mind that the PRESSURE SHOULD NOT
EXCEED MAXIMUM PRESSURE SHOWN
ON THE NAMEPLATE.
Check and calibrate the temperature control, if
needed.
The ANNUAL inspection should include the
following:
Descale the water compartment, examine the top
and frame for scale, and check the level of the
steam tabletop.
