WORKSHEET NO. 1

LESSON: Maintain appropriate kitchen tools, equipment, and paraphernalia


Learning Objectives: At the end of the lesson, the learner are expected to do the following:
 Define cleaning and sanitizing
 Classify the cleaning agents
 Give the methods in sanitizing.

Read the Information Sheet 1.1 very well the find out how much you can remember and how much you learned
by doing the Self-checked 1.1.

CLEANING AND SANITIZING


Cleaning and sanitizing procedures must be part of the standard operating procedures that make up your food
safety program. Improperly cleaned and sanitized surfaces allow harmful microorganisms to be transferred from one
food to other foods.
Cleaning is the process of removing food and other types of soil from a surface, such as a dish, glass, or
cutting board. Cleaning is done with a cleaning agent that removes food, soil, or other substances. The right cleaning
agent must be selected because not all cleaning agents can be used on food-contact surfaces. (A food-contact surface is
the surface of equipment or utensil that food normally comes into contact.). Cleaning agents are divided into four
categories:
1. Detergents – Use detergents to routinely wash tableware, surfaces, and equipment. Detergents can penetrate soil
quickly and soften it. Examples include dish washing detergent and automatic dishwasher detergents.
2. Solvent cleaners – Use periodically on surfaces where grease has burned on. Solvent cleaners are often called
degreasers.
3. Acid cleaners -- Use periodically on mineral deposits and other soils that detergents cannot remove. These cleaners
are often used to remove scale in ware washing machines and steam tables.
4. Abrasive cleaners -- Use these cleaners to remove heavy accumulations of soil that are difficult to remove with
detergents. Some abrasive cleaners also disinfect. Clean food-contact surfaces that are used to prepare potentially
hazardous foods as needed throughout the day but no less than every four hours. If they are not properly cleaned, food
that comes into contact with these surfaces could become contaminated.
Sanitizing is done using heat, radiation, or chemicals. Heat and chemicals are commonly used as a method for
sanitizing in a restaurant; radiation rarely is. The item to be sanitized must first be washed properly before it can be
properly sanitized. Some chemical sanitizers, such as chlorine and iodine, react with food and soil and so will be less
effective on a surface that has not been properly cleaned.
Sanitizing Methods
1. Heat. There are three methods of using heat to sanitize surfaces – steam, hot water,and hot air. Hot water is the most
common method used in restaurants. If hot water is used in the third compartment of a three-compartment sink, it
must be at least 171oF (77oC). If a high-temperature ware washing machine is used to sanitize cleaned dishes, the
final sanitizing rinse must be at least 180oF (82oC). For stationary rack, single temperature machines, it must be at
least 165oF (74oC). Cleaned items must be exposed to these temperatures for at least 30 seconds.
2. Chemicals. Chemicals that are approved sanitizers are chlorine, iodine, and quaternary ammonium. Different factors
influence the effectiveness of chemical sanitizers.
The three factors that must be considered are:
a. Concentration -- The presence of too little sanitizer will result in an inadequate reduction of harmful
microorganisms. Too much can be toxic.
b. Temperature -- Generally chemical sanitizers work best in water that is between 55oF(13oC) and 120oF
(49oC).
c. Contact time -- In order for the sanitizer to kill harmful microorganisms, the cleaned item must be in contact with
the sanitizer (either heat or approved chemical) for the recommended length of time.
Sanitizer Testing
Every restaurant must have the appropriate testing kit to measure chemical sanitizer
concentrations. To accurately test the strength of a sanitizing solution, one must first determine
which chemical is being used -- chlorine, iodine, or quaternary ammonium. Test kits are not
interchangeable so check with your chemical supplier to be certain that you are using the correct kit.
The appropriate test kit must then be used throughout the day to measure chemical sanitizer
concentrations.

1.1

True or False?
1. Surfaces must be sanitized before they are cleaned.
2. Cleaning reduces the number of pathogens on a surface to safe levels.
3 . Utensils cleaned and sanitized in a three-compartment sink should be dried with a clean towel.
4 . Soaking items for 30 seconds in water at least 171˚F (77˚C) is an acceptable way to sanitize items.
