There are around 4.7 million cases of food-related illnesses reported in Australia each year. Improper food handling, poor sanitation practices, and kitchens that are not built-for-purpose are some of the common factors that contribute to this. Keeping food within safe temperatures is vital to inhibit microorganism growth. However, while food safety practices are enforced in the food sector, human errors happen, and facilities are not always properly equipped. Keeping Heat Consistent Watlow FIRERODs are the first swaged cartridges in the market, which revolutionised the heating element
