Doner kebabs

Doner kebabs are Turkish meat products traditionally prepared from spiced lamb stacked on a vertical spit and roasted, though beef, veal, chicken, turkey or mixtures are also used. Thin slices are shaved from the rotating cone and typically served with onion in pita bread. Food safety hinges on thorough cooking of the outer layers, hygienic slicing and hot holding, since the large meat mass and extended service times create risks if temperature discipline slips. Inspectors check that reheating brings sliced portions back above safe temperatures before serving.
