If You're Serving A Home Buffet, Here's How Hot The Food Should Be - Tasting Table
Briefly

When hosting a large gathering, food safety is crucial; keeping hot foods above 140°F and cold foods below 40°F prevents harmful bacteria from growing.
To ensure safety, it's important to have a digital instant-read thermometer handy to check that meats are cooked to the proper temperatures.
The temperature range between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit is known as the 'danger zone', where bacteria can multiply rapidly.
Using warming mats, food warmers, or chafing dishes can help maintain food at safe temperatures and prevent the risk of foodborne illnesses.
