Kebab shop question
I just finished eating a kebab and it was so nice and I was wondering about the following:
What do kebab shops do at the end of the night when they have half a kebab still on the rotisserie? Do they throw it out or do they stick in a fridge for the following day. If they stick it in the fridge and re heat it the following day wouldn't that be dangerous (salmonella). |

They just turn the burners off.. If they stuck a hot kebab in the fridge it would warm the fridge up and that would be even worse for food poisoning

If they have a blast chill on the premises then they could chill it quickly and serve it the next day, as long as they only do it once.
They wouldn't be allowed to refrigerate the meat as that doesn't bring the temp down quick enough. |

It's all made from a elephant's trunk anyway. They just go down to the zoo and chop of another one

Funny you should ask that question, as we were talking about the same thing at work the other day.
![]() We couldn't decide on what they do with it though. We should all go and look through the window of our local ones, when it is closed and see if it is still on the rotisserie, then we'll know

They trim off any of the meat on the outside that is cooked and then keep the rest chilled.

If the remnants of the night before are left to cool down properly, should we assume that as the meat is so close to the burner as it turns, any bugs would be killed off? I like a once in a while kebab, well actually it's when I've had an evening out with the girls and it's a real good excuse to eat something that's meant to be wrong. I buy a large one and what's left I will microwave minus the greenery next day for breakfast. Morning after pizza is equally as good. Either way, I appear to have missed out on any potential food poisoning moments.

The OP makes a sound and valid point, but TBH, I've always been completely 'ar$eholed' when ever eating a 'large donner, no salad thanks'. Heavens knows what bugs I've had running through my system over the years!!! Guess the alcohol acts as some kind of antiseptic.

Re-reading this kebab talk, I want one. Bugger the potential dangers, I'm going to have one on Friday as an end of the week treat.
