 How to Clean and
Store Cooking Tools
and Equipment
1.) After measuring and mixing
ingredients, soak all used mixing
bowls, spatulas, measuring
spoons and cups and mixer
accessories in a tub of warm
water.

wipe off all cake mix splatter
from the mixer. While your at it,
wipe off any stray splatter from
the countertops and nearby
areas.
3.) Return electric mixers and
other electronic equipment to
their designated storage spaces.
4.) After cooking, soak used cake
pans and muffin tins in warm

accessories by either hand
washing or loading in a
dishwasher (if dishwasher-safe).
6.) Dry all baking tools and
equipment by air-drying on a
drying rack or wiping with a dry
dishcloth. Make sure all wooden
spoons and accessories are dry
before storing.
7.) Store all tools and equipment in
their designated places. Put
frequently used items in
conveniently accessible locations.
Gather and secure electrical cords
to prevent entangled or snagging.
8.) Proper Storage and Handling.

APPLY HEALTH, SAFETY
AND SECURITY
PROCEDURES IN THE
WORKPLACE
Ensure that cooking ranges, boilers
and deep-fat fryers are fitted with
thermostats or emergency cutoff
valves to turn off the fuel supply
should a fire break out.
Ensure that filters are removed
and degreased frequently to
prevent a build up of greasy
deposits.
This should be done weekly but
you may need to consider more
frequent cleaning if the equipment
issued for long periods on a daily
basis.
Store all combustible materials away
from buildings or perimeter fencing-
preferably inside locked waste bins or
lidded skips. Ensure they are emptied
regularly. If no suitable outside location is
available, use a secure internal storage
area.
Be vigilant when you open and
close the premises each day-look
for signs of potential trouble. E.g.
graffiti or damage to fences-
remove graffiti and repair any
damage immediately to deter
further damage occurring.
ELECTRICAL FAULTS:
Frequent visual inspections of all portable
electrical items and fixed electrical wiring.
Regular maintenance of these items by an
authorized agency or licensed electrician
may be recorded and monitored.
SMOKING:
Ensure smoking is restricted to a
designated area that is kept free of
combustible items such as paper,
curtains, flammable liquids.
Provide metal lidded bins for the
disposal of ashtray contents and ensure
they are emptied safely every day. Do
not dispose them with other
combustible waste.
Firstly, check with the local authority
whether property is in a flood risk
area. If it is then you should:
Prepare a flood plan for your
business detailing the actions you will
need to take to minimize damage and
disruption.
Practice putting the plan into
action so that you and your staff
will be sure it works and have
experience of what to do.
WATER ESCAPE:
Get dripping taps repaired as they
can cause damages.
Ensure pipes are properly lagged
using suitable insulation material.
If your premises are likely to be
unoccupied for a longer period,
e.g. over Christmas and New Year,
turn the water off at the stopcock
and drain the system if possible.
STORM DAMAGE:
Making sure that your premises are
in a good state of repair, it will
minimize the chance of storm
damage- check the building regularly
(walls, roof and any outbuildings) and
ensure any problems you find are
repaired promptly.
Check at least once a year that
roof gutters, down-pipes and
drainage gulley's are clear and
unobstructed and kept free of
leaves and vegetation.
BURGLARY:
Thieves frequently see catering
businesses as an easy target and it is wise
to ensure that you have a good level of
security at your premises.
Locks on external doors should carry
standards and high quality materials.
All accessible opening windows
should be fitted with key-operated
locks – but protect secluded windows
and roof-lights with steel bars, grilles
or shutters. Consider fitting shop-
fronts with grilles or shutters to deter
smash and grab raiders.
Given time, almost any physical
security can be overcome, consider
fitting an Intruder Alarm system
which will act as a deterrent and
limit the time an intruder will have
on your premises. Any alarm system
should be fitted and maintained .
Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) can help
deter and capture evidence of robbery.
Any system should be fitted and
