Utensil Washing Sinks: What You Need to Know
Utensil washing sinks are small, usually portable sinks perfect for sanitizing smaller pieces of dinnerware. Our range of options let operators add additional cleaning space or take their utensil sanitizers on the road for catering, food truck, and event management engagements. Soak sinks can also be wheeled out as an addition to your normal warewashing procedure when you need extra space during busy times.
Common Questions About Mobile Soaking Sinks
How does a utensil cleaner kit work?
In commercial flatware sanitation, all equipment must be heated to 140 degrees Fahrenheit or soaked in designated chemical cleansers, such as chlorine, which is how these cleaner kits sanitize. A utensil cleaner kit provides a container where operators can soak their flatware and ensure they are cleaned to FDA standards. These kits can be countertop mounted, wall mounted, or freestanding and will typically come with a case of sanitizer or cleanser when purchased. Many kits include chlorine testing strips that may be required by regulatory bodies to ensure sanitizing water has a sufficient chlorine content to kill any potentially harmful bacteria. Operators will need to replenish their sanitizer supply to keep using the portable cleaning unit. Food trucks, caterers, and healthcare establishments can make great use of an additional sanitization station.
What is a mobile soak sink?
These are deep sinks on wheels that can be rolled anywhere an operator deems useful. This could mean providing additional space in a crowded kitchen, giving staff members a place to drop used utensils for sanitizing while other tasks are managed, or creating more sink space in institutional settings. Soak sinks clean utensils by exposing them to chemical cleansers long enough to kill all harmful microbes. Mobile sinks give you a place to leave utensils while they soak, and casters enable operators to move the sink out of the way and store it in the back until it's needed, which you can't do with a permanent sink. Consider adding a mobile sink if you need more room to clean utensils during busy periods but want to be able to free up space during lighter hours.
