The Importance of Proper Dishware Care

• Hygiene Concerns: Inadequate cleaning and sanitization can harbor bacteria, posing a risk to customer health and potentially leading to foodborne illnesses.
• Increased Replacement Costs: Chips, cracks, and breaks necessitate frequent replacements, impacting your bottom line.
• Negative Customer Perception: Chipped or stained dishware can create an unfavorable impression on customers, affecting their dining experience.

Cleaning, Drying, and Sanitization: The Core of Dishware Maintenance

• Pre-Soaking and Scraping: Before washing, scrape off any leftover food and pre-soak dishes to loosen stubborn residue. This reduces the workload on your dishwasher and improves cleaning efficiency.
• Proper Washing: Utilize a commercial-grade dishwasher with appropriate detergents and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for wash cycles and water temperatures.
• Effective Drying: Thorough drying is crucial to prevent water spots and microbial growth. While some dishwashers have drying cycles, air drying is often recommended for certain materials. This is where New Age Industrial’s products shine. Their mobile Cup and Glass Racks not only provide optimal airflow for drying but also offer a convenient solution for transporting dishware. These racks are designed for optimal airflow, allowing for efficient and sanitary air drying.
• Sanitization: After washing and drying, sanitize dishware using either high-temperature water (at least 171°F) or a chemical sanitizer approved for food contact surfaces.

Storage: Protecting Your Investment

• Clean and Dry Storage Area: Ensure the storage area is clean, dry, and free from pests.
• Organized Storage: Avoid overcrowding and stacking dishes too high, which can lead to chips and breakage.
• Utilize Proper Racking: Employing appropriate racking systems is essential for efficient and safe storage. New Age Industrial’s wall mount dish rack holder provides a space-saving and secure solution for storing dish racks. This keeps racks off the floor, promoting hygiene and preventing damage. The wall-mounted design maximizes space utilization, a valuable asset in busy commercial kitchens.

Transport: Minimizing Damage During Movement

• Use Appropriate Carriers: Employ sturdy dish carriers or dollies to minimize movement and prevent shifting during transport. Utilizing mobile racks, such as New Age Industrial’s Cup and Glass Racks with caster wheels, can greatly simplify internal transport within your establishment.
• Secure Stacking: When stacking dishes in carriers, ensure they are stable and won’t topple over.
• Handle with Care: Train staff to handle dishware with care during transport to prevent accidental drops and breakage.

Why Aluminum?

• Built to Last with Aluminum: New Age Industrial products, including the Cup and Glass Racks and Wall Mount Dish Rack Holder, are constructed from high-quality aluminum. 1 This material offers significant advantages for commercial kitchen environments:

  • Lightweight and Durable: Aluminum is lightweight yet incredibly strong and durable. This makes it easy to move and handle drying racks while ensuring they can withstand the demands of a busy commercial kitchen.
  • Easy to Clean: Aluminum is easy to clean and sanitize. Simply wipe down the racks with a damp cloth or use a mild detergent to remove any residue.
  • Hygienic: Aluminum is non-porous, which means it doesn’t harbor bacteria or other microorganisms. This makes it a hygienic material for use in food service environments.
