LEARNING TARGET 1:
Clean, sanitize and store kitchen tools and equipment
TERMINOLOGIST:
Cleaning – is the process of removing unwanted substances, such as dirt, infectious agents, and other
impurities, from an object or environment. Cleaning occurs in many different contexts, and uses many different
methods.
Sanitizing – is defined as cleaning something to make it free of bacteria or disease- causing elements.
Residue – a small amount of something that remains after a process has been completed or a thing that
has been removed.
COOKING MATERIALS
6
ALUMINUM – is mostly used in the kitchen and the most popular because
it is lightweight, attractive and less expensive; It requires care to keep it shiny
and clean; It is also giving even heat temperature you have. It is available in
sheet or cast aluminum. Since it is a soft metal, the lighter gauges will dent
and scratch easily, making the utensil unusable. Aluminum turns dark when
used with alkalis, such as potatoes, beets, carrots and other vegetables. While
acid vegetables like tomatoes will brighten it.
GLASS – is used for salad making and dessert but not practical for top or surface cooking. Great care is needed
to ensure for long shelf life.
CAST IRON – is durable but must be kept oiled to avoid rusting. Salad oil
with no salt or shortening can rubbed inside and out and dried. Wash with
soap (not detergent) before using.
7

METHODS OF CLEANING AND SANITIZING KITCHEN TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
VOCABULARY:
Abrasive – having a rough quality; causing damage or wear by rubbing, grinding or scraping.
Corrosion – the action, process or effect of corroding or slowly breaking apart or destroying (metal, an
object, etc) through a chemical process.
Immersion – the act of putting someone or something completely in a liquid or the state of being
completely in a liquid.
Listed below are the normal cleaning and sanitizing of kitchen tools and equipment based on the material
they are made of.
CHEMICALS DESCRIPTION
ACETIC ACID Vinegar
ACETONE Used as a solvent but can damage plastic
ALCOHOL Isopropyl or rubbing alcohol
AMMONIA Alkaline compound of nitrogen and hydrogen NH3
BORAX White crystalline compound
CALCIUM HYPOCHLORITE Powdered bleach
CHROMIC ACID Similar to sulfuric acid
CITRIC ACID From juices of lemons, limes, oranges
13
SALTWATER SOAP A potassium-based soap
SOAP OR DETERGENT In powder, liquid or bar
SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE Liquid bleach
SODIUM BICARBONATE Baking soda
SODIUM PERBORATE Salt with hydrogen peroxide
SODIUM PERCARBONATE Salt with carbonic acid
TETRACHLOROETHYLENE Dry cleaning
TRISODIUM PHOSPHATE A crystalline compound
WATER The most common cleaning agent
XYLENE Obtained from natural gas or petroleum
To make sure dishwashing results in completely clean and sanitary kitchen tools, follow the given
techniques;
1. Use three compartment sinks when washing, rinsing, and sanitizing tools and equipment by hand.
2. Sinks must be large enough so that items can be completely covered with water when cleaned.
3. Each compartment of the sink must be supplied with hot or cold potable running water.
4. Suitable equipment must be made available if washing, rinsing, and sanitizing cannot be accomplished by
immersion,
5. Drain boards or dish tables must be prepared for soiled kitchen tools before washing and at the same time
for clean tools after sanitizing.
An equipment too large to be sanitized by immersion must be rinsed, sprayed or swabbed with
sanitizing solution at least twice the strength required for immersion sanitizing.
In the handwashing operation, do not use dish cloths, dish mops or soft sponges because they
become soiled, soggy and provide a medium for bacteria growth. Plastic brushes with firm brittles provide
the friction necessary for cleaning.
Clean thoroughly for effective sanitation. Keep the sinks and brushes clean. Drain wash water
frequently, refill with clean, fresh hot water and proper amount of detergent.
14
TECHNIQUES IN STORING CLEANED KITCHEN TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT:
After dishwashing, all washed kitchen tools must be properly stored to avoid re-contamination of dust, insects
and bacteria.
Maintaining clean utensils, tools and equipment in the kitchen are not the only things that should be given
emphasis when engaging in any cooking activity. Kitchen walls, surfaces and the entire kitchen premises should
likewise be cleaned and sanitized to ensure safety in preparing foods.
WALLS
Wipe away wall splatters by taking a wet cloth or paper towel to remove
mustard, wine and other foods. Wie down walls with a clean dampened cleaning
cloth. Use an extra spritz of multi-surface cleaner to remove finger marks,
smears, and stain. This should be done regularly; frequency will depend on
circumstances.
15
FLOORS
As much as possible, floors have to withstand considerable amount of
wear and tear, therefore they must be capable of being easily cleaned, smooth
but not slippery, even and without cracks or open joints.
It is a must to sweep or vacuum the floor then damp-mop. If you spy a spot,
cover the stain with baking soda and then pour some liquid over it. Scrub with
plastic brush and let everything sit for a few hours. Rinse and repeat until the
stain is gone. Pay attention to the areas beneath the sink (water spots) and stove
(grease). Shake any mats or rugs.
If the floor is wood, just mix nine parts of water to one-part white vinegar
to make it shine.
SHELVES
Should be cleaned. Begin by removing all items from the shelf. Storage
racks should be emptied. Place the items in a box and set it off to the side.
If there are several shelves, start from the top going down. This way,
dust or dust or debris will land on a shelf that has not been cleaned. Then dust it
with a soft cloth or duster to remove any loose dust. If it has lining, remove and
clean it as well. After the dust has been removed use a cleaner designed for the
material the shelf is made of. Wipe down the shelf with a soft cloth and the
cleaning product. Rinse if necessary, then dry with a soft cloth. Replace the shelf
liner. Return the removed items on the shelf. Continue on the next shelf.
MICROWAVE COOKER – Do not allow cleaning agent to soil or accumulate around the door sell as
this could prevent a tight seal when the door is closed. Never used an abrasive cleaner to clean the interior of the
oven as it can scratch the metallic walls. Do not use aerosols either as these may penetrate the internal parts of
the oven. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully before to circulate.
16
STEAMERS – trays and runners should be washed then rinsed. The water generate chamber should be
drained, cleaned and the inside of the steamer be cleaned with detergent solution and rinsed. Steamer doors should
be lightly greased occasionally and if it is not in use, leave the door open to allow air to circulate.
DEEP FAT FRYER – these should ne cleaned daily after use by doing the following:
1. Turning off the heat and allowing the fat to cool.
2. Draining off and straining the fat.
3. Closing the stopcock, filling the fryer with hot water containing detergent and boiling for 10-15 minutes.
4. Draining off the detergent water, refilling with clean water plus 1/8 liter of vinegar per 5 liters of water
and re-boiling for 10-15 mins.
5. Draining off the water, drying the fryer, closing the stopcock.
❖ ACID CLEANING AGENTS – are mainly used for removal of inorganic deposits like scaling.
The active ingredients are strong minerals.
❖ HYDROCHLORIC ACID – also known as muriatic acid is a common mineral acid typically
used for concrete.
❖ VINEGAR - can also use to clean hard surfaces and remove calcium deposits.
❖ SULFURIC ACID – is used in acidic drain cleaners to unblock clogged pipes by dissolving
greases and tissue paper.
❖ ALKALINE CLEANING AGENT – contain strong bases like sodium hydroxide or potassium
hydroxide. Bleach and ammonia are common alkaline cleaning agent.
❖ NEUTRAL CLEANING AGENT – are commonly known as anionic washing agents. They are
available in both liquid and powder which is manufactured from strong alkalis and week acids.
❖ DEGREASER CLEANING AGENT – are solvent based cleaners for the removal or grease.
