HOT Tips for Your Heated Appliances

September 13, 2019

In many commercial kitchens, one of the most important tools that you will have are going to be your heating elements. From the ovens, stoves, and grills - these pieces are vital if you plan on serving up hot, cooked dishes, and it’s important to keep them maintained and in great working order. If you own a restaurant, Fast Fix wants to be your commercial appliance repair company in Mid-Missouri. Here are a few things to remember about your hot appliances, and how we can help you keep them up and working.

Grills

Like most things, proper maintenance is going to prolong the life of your grill or griddle. You can clean it daily with a wire brush to scrape the food remnants from the grates of your grill. You should also empty the grease cup after use, and if you use it frequently, you will want to take it apart and wipe it down at least twice a week. You can also check the burners on your grill for leaks at least once a month as cracks and holes can cause uneven cooking.

Notice anything broken or not functioning properly? It’s time for maintenance!

Ovens

If we told you that industrial kitchens are busy, you wouldn’t be surprised. However, this means that skipping daily commercial oven cleanings may seem like a simple way to cut downtime, but it can lead to problems in the long run. Now is a great time to commit to cleaning your oven regularly. Start with controlling crumbs, removing the racks and cleaning them, wiping down the interior walls, and managing spills immediately. Of course, in the end, sometimes you still experience maintenance malfunctions, seals leak, pilots break, and when they do, Fast Fix LLC is here.

Fryers

To keep your commercial fryer working properly for the longest amount of time, you need to care for it and you have to filter the oil and change it regularly. This also helps improve the quality and taste of the food - so it’s a win-win! You will want to clean the elements, the fry baskets, You should also plan to boil out your deep fryer every three to six months. You also want to inspect the fryer every year and properly check all fittings to make sure they are tight.

Pizza Ovens

As a general rule, a pizza oven can have a service life of up to twenty-five years, but the average is ten years based on the use that they get. You’ll want to make sure that your pizza oven is cleaning it daily by removing the food debris, cleaning out the air intakes, and greasing the oven bearings. If you’re still having issues with your pizza oven, it may be time to get some maintenance done!
