3 Reasons to Keep Your Food-Service Equipment Clean

Keeping your food-service equipment clean should be a top priority for any restaurant or other commercial kitchen. One of the main considerations is that regular cleaning of your equipment will extend the life of the equipment, saving you money over time. Today's blog from Fast Fix LLC features several reasons why you would want to keep your food-service equipment clean.

1. Food Quality. 


One of the first reasons to keep food-service equipment clean that likely comes to mind is for food quality reasons. Keeping your kitchen clean is food safety rule number one. Dirty equipment is also going to affect the taste of the food that you produce. For example, you can taste when french fries have been cooked in stale oil. Food particles that aren't removed from equipment can also cause smoke, which will also affect the way food tastes. By keeping your equipment clean, and filtering and changing oil as directed, you can eliminate any bad flavors that might affect the taste of the food you're preparing. This allows you to serve up great quality food, consistently, which is what it takes to keep customers happy and returning.

2. Employee Safety. 


Dirty food-service equipment is a common cause of restaurant fires. When grease cakes up on equipment, it creates a fire hazard. In addition, grease and other particles built up on equipment can cause the equipment to malfunction. It can get in there and prevent parts from moving properly. Improperly working equipment is also a danger to employees. They could easily get shocked or burnt. Keeping your food-service equipment clean will easily reduce safety risks for your employees.

3. Equipment Efficiency. 


Keeping your restaurant equipment clean is one of the best things you can do to ensure it's working efficiently. When a vent or filter is dirty, it causes the equipment to work harder to complete it's job. Equipment that's working efficiently is less likely to malfunction or breakdown, saving you money and resources on repairs. Cleaning and routine maintenance also increases the lifespan of your equipment, saving you even more money over time. Equipment efficiency is directly related to your restaurants bottom line.


In addition to keeping your equipment clean, you'll want to keep it maintained. Repairing small issues as they arise will prevent major equipment issues, such as a complete breakdown. This saves you money and reduces down time, allowing you to keep your restaurant running efficiently.
