Intensive Kitchen Clean
KC should focus on cleaning those parts of the kitchen that are usually neglected. Often we will have an "IKC leader" who will dictate what everyone should be doing through out the shift.
Credit: 1.5 Hours
** Please note that it is a good idea to check in with the Kitchen Manager to prioritize cleaning from the following list.
Duties:
1. Clear the Kitchen
Remove all bottles, bins and appliances from counter/underneath counters and place on the dining room tables.
Remove all garbage and compost bins, also place in dining room.
2. Start Cleaning!
Grill Cleaner: Scrape the grill. (however, remember that we have an intensive stove cleaning shift). Consider cleaning the little parts that don't get seen as much (like below the grill covers and such).
Wipe down the outside surface of the stove, oven handles, and dials using Food Safety Sanitizer(pink solution) or all-purpose cleaner.
Wipe down all counters. Clean the sinks with Food Safety Sanitizer or Comet. Clean the outside of all of the cabinets and the kitchen island with Murphy's Wood Oil (in the supplies closet).
Clean and remove debris from drains underneath the hobart and underneath the food prep sink.
Wipe down doors and handles of the walk in and freezer with Food Safety Sanitizer.
Wipe down walls of kitchen and pantry with a mild stearamine tablet solution (these are the quat tablets used for pot wash). Or, you can use warm Dawn dish soap. The stearamine tablet solution is to kill gnat and fly eggs. Check all corners for signs of an infestation.
Clean the wall behind the food prep sink.
Clean the window sills/trim/walls near the coffee machine and the one by the toaster.
Clean the top vents of the refrigerators, remove dust from behind fridge/freezer as best you can (i.e., the stuff stuck on the walls)
Clean the metal filters above the stove - (once a month or when they seem dirty). At the beginning of your shift, remove them, then put them in the double sink and spray them with Degrade degreaser (dilute 32 parts water to 1 part Degrade). Let sit for an hour. At the end of your shift scrub them clean, dry, and put them back.
3. Keep Cleaning
Wipe down all compost and recycling bin lids with Food Safety Sanitizer/stearamine solution/or multi-surface cleaner
Wipe exposed shelving with Food Safety Sanitizer/stearamine solution/multi-surface cleaner and replace items in their proper places.
Remove the large can opener and clean it.
