This is additional to the post above (which I forgot to write): What I mean with "How to interpret the coefficients as they are very large numbers" is that it seems to be a bit ridiculous to think that survival is e.g. 8.815e+34 (hazard ration taken from the interaction LT:Food:Temp2) times lower when the interaction increases by one (?).
Actually I don't know how to interpret this 3-case interaction either. Does it mean that when all of the variables in interaction increase by one unit, the survival decreases by the certain amount (told by the exp(coef)-value)? This whole model-interpretation really confuses me. The final coxph-model was received by downward-selection using step-function.
