I would like to hear from anyone with experience in cooking and holding meatballs for dinner service. I recently started working at an Italian place but their method of reheating and holding in water on a steamtable leaves the meatball dry and flavorless. Holding them directly in the marinara seems to break them down.

I'm not in food service but, we run an Italian festival once a yr, and we keep our meatballs in sugo sauce without much of a problem, when we run the line for dinners for 500 + people. Could be the recipe or to hot of holding temps? Curious whats your water temp for holding the meatballs?

Just a FEW thoughts

I'm disappointed. I read the title of the thread and anticipated a spirited discussion of an odd but amusing esoteric food-related religious practice. Oh, well.

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."
