Top Ten Products That Can Help Our Community Maintain Essential Food Safety Standards

*This article features affiliate links, through which we may earn a small commission which helps maintain our website and da’wah activities, so we thank you, jazaakum Allahu khayran!

If you have not read our recent article about the importance of knowing and applying food safety standards at community events, please read it now:

Important Advice about Food Safety and Ramadhan

The following is an updated list of products available for purchase which can help our communities uphold and maintain essential standards of food safety in Ramadhan, the Eid gatherings, and at any time we come together for community meals.

1. Chefman Electric Warming Tray with Adjustable Temperature Control

Keep your trays of food safely warm with this highly-rated and convenient large warming surface. It is big enough to keep a large tray (21″x13″) warm for hours while you attend class, pray, or socialize, and then return to the food for seconds. A typical serving station for hot foods at a small to medium gathering might need three or four of these. Keep hot foods at a temperature above 140° F.

2. Slightly Larger Electric Warming Tray (31.5″ × 17.7″)

This larger warming tray is also highly rated, offering considerably more surface space.

ON AMAZON (affiliate link): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FNQQB4YN?tag=144205-20

 

3. Digital Thermometer (Instant Read, Waterproof, with Backlight)

This inexpensive tool is great for quick checks to make sure our hot foods stay above 140° F when left out on our warming trays.

ON AMAZON (affiliate link): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C37DLHWW?tag=144205-20

4. Five-Tray Warming Cabinet (Electric) (for Smaller Gatherings)

This is good for keeping right at the place of serving, just before serving the food. If the food is usually consumed completely, this might be a better option than the warming trays (#1 and #2).

ON AMAZON (affiliate link): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DZWTJZBL?tag=144205-20

5. Larger Full-Tray/Pan Warming Cabinet (For Larger Centers/Gatherings)

This larger version of #6 is good for keeping right at the place of serving, just before serving the food. If the food is usually consumed completely, this might be a better option than the warming trays (#1 and #2). This is commercial grade and highly rated.

ON AMAZON (affiliate link): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09C2J8VHZ?tag=144205-20

6. Set of Four Stainless Steel Chafing/Serving Dishes With Lids

These steel chafing dishes come with lids and folding frames, and even two places underneath each tray to place small burners to keep the trays warm (above 140° F). These are an excellent alternative to the warming trays (#1 and #2) above, commercially graded and highly rated.

ON AMAZON (affiliate link): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C8CTNQ2B?tag=144205-20

7. Set of 24 Stainless Steel Large Serving Utensils (8 Spoons, 8 Slotted Spoons, 8 Tongs)

These serving spoons are stainless steel. They are well-priced for such a large quantity and variety. You might only need a few for each service, but you can never have too many serving utensils! IYKYK

HONORABLE MENTION (1): Full-Size Disposable Aluminum Pans (21″x13″) for Storage and Serving

Here you will find helpful resources and guidance, by Allah’s Permission, connected to the seminar at Masjid Alfarouq in Edmonton, Alberta (Canada), which took place starting on Muharram 29, 1445 (Aug.16-20, 2023), wal-hamdu lillaah, along with special information about the official seminar workbook and some exclusive images of its content.

In anticipation of the seminar, Ustaadh Moosaa Richardson stated:

Upon visiting our brothers in Islam and Sunnah at Masjid Alfarouq in Edmonton, Alberta (Canada) earlier this year, based on the advice of Shaykh Abu Muhammad al-Maghribi (may Allah preserve him), I was delighted to find such beautiful cooperation at an emerging community upon Salafiyyah there. May Allah bless them and increase them in good. Their good efforts to learn and host special events for the benefit of their community and the Muslims of Edmonton at large are exemplary and deserving of our support…

This upcoming fourth seminar, scheduled for the end of Muharram 1445 (August 16-20, 2023), in shaa’ Allah, is another five-day event, similar to the last one. This time, Shaykh Abu Muhammad will be broadening the focus of family matters to include more practical advice and guidance for parents and children, siblings, as well as spouses, in shaa’ Allah. I will continue sharing and explaining verses from the same poetry on Islamic Legal Maxims. After considering that a significant number of the local congregants grew up in communities and households where the Maalikee math-hab is taught, I thought to explain a small text in basic Islamic Creed by an exemplary Maalikee scholar of old, al-Imaam Ibn Abee Zayd al-Qayrawaanee (may Allah have Mercy on him).
