Children how old? My 5 year old does not need his food to be room temperature.

I think common sense is the only sensible answer.

At exactly 22.5 degrees Grin

How would anyone even be able to keep food at a precise exact temperature throughout a meal?! I'm afraid this one does call for common sense...

For a small child, we pop our finger in and if it feels warm but not hot, that's what we serve. So whatever body temperature is!
