COMPETENCY SUMMARY
Introduction
This module deals with the skills and knowledge on cleaning and
maintaining kitchens, food preparation and storage areas in
commercial cookery or catering operations.
Learning Outcomes:
ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
ASSESSMENT CRITERIA:
After reading this information sheet, the student must be able to:
1) To know to clean, sanitize and store equipment.
2) The proper storage of equipment.
3) The importance of storing equipment in its proper storage.
Instructions
1. Put on the cleaning gloves. Scrape off any excess debris from the
appliances or equipment with a scrubber sponge or scraper into
the garbage disposal or trash can. Scrub everything with hot
water and antibacterial soap---if you have some, if not, then
regular dish soap---with a durable sponge. If the equipment is
wood, let it air dry.
Every food service operation will have a three-well sink. If your facility
does not have an automatic dishwasher, the three-well sink will be
used not only for cleaning pots and pans but also for cleaning and
sanitizing cups, plates, silverware, trays, and so on. The three-well
sink consists of three compartments, each serving a specific purpose
in the pot and pan or ware washing process.
Procedure
1. SCRAPE: Remove all food particles from the pot or pan by scraping
them into a garbage disposal or garbage can.
2. RINSE: Rinse any loose food particles from the pot or pan.
3. WASH: In the first well of the sink, water should be warm, with an
appropriate amount of detergent added. (Follow directions on the
detergent container for the proper amount.) Pots and pans are washed
or scoured using a dishcloth or brush. Change the wash water
periodically, as it accumulates grease and food particles.
4. RINSE: The second (middle) well of the sink is filled with clean
water. The rinse water should be changed often (when it starts looking
like the first well of detergent water). Pots and pans are rinsed in this
well by dipping them into the water.
5. SANITIZE: In the third well of the sink, hot water (170˚ F or hotter)
or a chemical sanitizer added to clean water is used to sanitize pots
and pans. If you use hot water above 170˚F to sanitize, be sure to
check the temperature frequently to ensure that it remains above
170˚F. If you use a chemical sanitizer, follow the directions on the
sanitizer container to ensure that the proper amount has been added
to the water. Most food service operations prefer a chemical sanitizer
mixture with cooler water 75˚F–120˚F), which is a more comfortable
temperature for workers’ hands, dipping and retrieving pots and pans.
Remember to test the concentration of the chemical sanitizer with a
paper test strip.
6. DRY: Cleaned and sanitized pots and pans should be allowed to air-
dry on cleaned and sanitized drying racks. Drying racks usually
consist of coated metal wire shelves (similar to food storage shelves).
They usually rest on wheels, so the racks can be moved from the
three-well sink area to the pot and pan storage area.

Procedure
5. Physically remove any dirt, food particles, and debris from the
equipment or surface area using a cleaning cloth soaked with the
cleaning solution. Follow by rinsing those same areas with fresh warm
water. Finally, sanitize the equipment or surface area using a clean
cloth soaked in sanitizing solution. Keep the cloths stored in their
appropriate buckets when not in use.
