General Heating & Serving Food Tips:

• Don't keep food hot for more than an hour before serving
• Cover food that could dry out, with cling film or a clean cloth
• Keep roast potatoes uncovered so they remain crisp and dry
• Remember that it is harder to keep vegetables such as spinach and cabbage warm compared to root vegetables.
