Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 3-sink method?
The three-sink method is a manual warewashing process that uses separate sink compartments for washing, rinsing, and sanitizing dishes, cookware, utensils, and other wares.
What is the benefit of a pre-rinse faucet?
A pre-rinse faucet uses a flexible hose and spray valve to remove food debris before items go into a sink or commercial dishwasher, which can help keep wash water clean and reduce rewashing needs.
What do stainless steel gauge numbers mean?
Stainless steel gauge measures metal thickness. A lower gauge, such as 14 gauge, is thicker and more durable than a higher gauge, such as 18 gauge, making it a strong choice for busy foodservice kitchens.
