The reason for this is because a rethermalizer is specifically designed to bring food through what&#8217;s called the &#8220;Danger Zone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Danger Zone represents the temperature range between 40\u00b0F and 140\u00b0F. Bacteria populations found within food above 40\u00b0 and below 140\u00b0 can double in just 20 minutes. Rethermalizers ensures your food crosses the danger zone quickly, reaching 165\u00b0F to kill off bacteria before holding food to be served above 140\u00b0.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4818\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4818\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fsis.usda.gov\/wps\/portal\/fsis\/topics\/food-safety-education\/get-answers\/food-safety-fact-sheets\/safe-food-handling\/danger-zone-40-f-140-f\/CT_Index\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4818 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Danger_Zone_Update_Standtime.jpg\" alt=\"Danger Zone Update Standtime\" width=\"350\" height=\"541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Danger_Zone_Update_Standtime.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Danger_Zone_Update_Standtime-194x300.jpg 194w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4818\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rethermalizers heat food through the Danger Zone.
