Keep your Catering Equipment Sparkling Clean
There are two very important words in the world of catering – cleanliness and hygiene. Any restaurant owner would know how critical it can be for the catering business if there is unclean crockery, cutlery or glassware. Customers’ impressions can be completely ruined and it can take a lot of time to build the same reputation again.
Proper cleaning and maintenance of the catering equipment is done with the help of a number of cleaning products. There are specific washing liquids and cleaning methods for kitchen utensils made from steel, aluminium, glass and plastic. There are also many varieties of ware washers available in the market to choose from.
When you go out to purchase any ware washing equipment, there are certain things that you need to consider before you make your choice. Firstly, it is important to find out the running cost of the machine you want to buy. Many high quality ware washers are equipped with built-in systems that reduce the consumption of energy and water. Check if they have good heat exchangers and filtration systems. Good filtration system means that for each washing cycle, there will be less consumption of detergent and reduced energy bills. Secondly, you need to find out more about the quality of that particular brand and whether or not they offer a warranty. Customers’ responses and testimonials can be a good source of information in this regard.
Catering equipment in the kitchen can encounter many problems, including build-up of lime scale, discoloration, and persistent food odours. Depending on the material and type of utensil, an appropriate cleaning method is used. For example, in order to thoroughly clean aluminium pots and pans, you can fill the container with water, some cut onion and lemon juice. Bring this mixture to a boil, remove from the heat and rinse it after some time. To remove burned food particles from pots and pans, fill them with water and dish washing liquid and let them stay for a while. Then bring them to boil and scrape off all burnt particles gently with a wooden spoon.
