in the uk using degrees celcius, the internal temperature of food when cooked should be over 75 degrees c.. For holding food till eating, the temperature should not fall below 65 degrees c. ideally food should be cooked and eaten straight away otherwise only keep hot for a max of 2 hours, by this time though it will look and taste dry and unpalateable.the only way to check these temperatures is by using a thermometer type probe. If in doubt, chuck it out!!

According to the Advanced Food Safety Training manual byTrainCan,Inc
As well as based on the ServSafe coursebook
Reg Trademark of the NRAEF
Temperature danger zone is 40 degrees F to 140 degrees F
or 4 degrees C to 60 degrees C
Hold hot foods at 60 degrees C or higher.
To heat foods the internal temperature must be brought up to a temp of 74 degrees celsius ( 165 degrees F ) for 15 seconds within two hours.

If you mean the safe temperature for hot storage as in a Baine Marie it is above 78C. If the food goes below this it is in what is known as the danger zone and is safe only for about 90 mins.
Bear in mind if kept too long at temperature, most food will spoil so have back up ready to compensate if you anticipate a long service.

A good guideline is above 140 degrees. Bacteria grows best between 41 and 140 degrees. So, keep hot foods above 140 and cold foods below 41. Also, for more info, check out your local health department's website.

Under the present H.A.C.C.P. food regulation all foods should be cooked to a minimum of 76c and not let go below 63c before serving as the risk of contamination can present itself then.

After the food is cooked I keep it warm at 200 F when I need to keep it warm for my husband's dinner.

Most food people will say 141 degrees or hotter.
The fda new regulation is hot food needs to be kept over 135 degrees.
