Which item has a cook temperature of 350°F and a hold time of 10 minutes under heat lamp?

• A. Fresh tenders
• B. Fries
• C. Mushrooms
• D. Honey wheat bread

Answer: (B)

In cook-and-hold, each item has a specific cook temperature and a maximum hold time under a heat lamp to keep it safe and quality-consistent. Fries are typically fried at 350°F and are designed to be held under a heat lamp for about 10 minutes. This pairing keeps them hot and reasonably crispy without overcooking them or drying them out. Fresh tenders also come from a 350°F fry, but their shown hold time under heat lamp isn’t the same as fries in this context, and mushrooms are usually prepared differently and wouldn’t be listed with that 10-minute hold at 350°F. Honey wheat bread isn’t fried at that temperature, and its warming/holding method differs as well. So the item that matches both 350°F and a 10-minute hold under the lamp is fries.
