An apparatus and low temperature process providing a means for ensuring bacteriological safety in the fast food production of hamburgers and other protein or farinaceous food articles. The present invention is directed toward a method and apparatus for transferring heat to food articles contained in sealed plastic food cooking and staging containers, and is particularly adapted for cooking and/or holding previously cooked food articles quite near to a selected precise internal temperature for prolonged time periods and can be employed to defrost and cook food articles or to complete the cooking of food articles that have been previously cooked and to stage same for prolonged time periods at optimum product quality and at a precise internal product temperature within the narrow equilibration range of from between 2°F and 5°F thereby assuring precision, time and temperature-related, means for pathogenic risk management and food safety for public consumption. The apparatus provides a means of holding the patties and/or other food articles in heat conducting containers, such as precanned precooked food in bowl type containers or in hermetically sealed plastic packages, for prolonged the periods at an equilibrated, safe internal temperature range at less than 212°F, selectable between 130 and 185°F for optimal staging, which temperature range is optional and maintained in order to guarantee bacteriological food safety by achieving high thermal lethality of trace pathogens of as much as 99% at selected time and temperature conditions for potential pathogens such as Salmonella and Escherichia coli potentially present in ground meat articles such as beef or chicken patties.
