This was a thoroughly entertaining little ditty of a thread, until I got to this bit of news....

Seriously though, it is good that you are documenting this, since it is a dangerous health hazard to have food hovering even slightly above the safe range of 40 degrees. Food out of the safe range can have the bacteria killed by cooking, but the waste product of the bacteria doesn't get eliminated in the cooking process, and itself can make you sick. Keep an eye on those temps.
