Unlock Hot food — temperature check

Hot holding, reheating, cooling and chilling

For the own-check in kitchens and canteens: enter your measured temperatures. The calculator checks hot holding (at least 56 °C throughout the food) and reheating (at least 75 °C) under the hygiene order (Executive Order no. 1331/2025), cooling from 56 °C to 10 °C in no more than four hours according to the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration's recommendation, and chilling at no more than 5 °C for heat-treated, cooled and perishable foods. It only assesses your measurements — it does not guess a cooling curve.
