Wer hat die Küchenzuluft auf dem Schirm? Verteilt die Lüftung Keime in der Küche? Im Gegensatz zur Abluft ist die Zuluft ein Stiefkind. Hygieneinspektion und Reinigung sind genauso wichtig wie der Filtermattentausch.

Maintaining a hygienic workspace starts with personal cleanliness. Wash hands thoroughly, use gloves, and change them often, especially when switching between handling high risk food (meat and poultry, seafood etc) and ready-to-eat foods like (salad, sandwiches, cooked meat, etc). These simple habits create a safe environment where every dish can be crafted with care and confidence.

Siempre antes de comentar a elaborar hay que hacer una "mise en place" de limpieza. ¿Qué supondría eso? -Ver si las superficies están limpias del día anterior. -Montar la partida con cucharas limpias, tablas limpias, etc. -Y por supuesto mantener ese orden y limpieza, siempre previniendo de contaminaciones cruzadas, colores de tablas, cuchillos. Etc.

Something really underrated in the heat and stress of a busy kitchen is taking 10 seconds to take a deep breathe and focus. Especially if you have lost your flow or are feeling a bit all over the place. Having a tidy and clean work station is also key to preventing cross contamination.

First and foremost is to have your sanitizer buckets with your towels already in...Then next to have the proper color coded cutting boards with a dry towel underneath the boards to avoid slipping...Next... no matter what your cutting always clean and sanitize your area after each use...Finally when the closing shift is done, time for bleach and soaking for the night... All's good...

📍Applying a color-coding system is crucial for preventing cross-contamination. To conduct it: 👇 ● Identify areas for color coding like food preparation, storage, cleaning stations, & equipment. ● Select easily distinguishable colors for specific tasks or areas. Chopping boards, e.g., 🟥 Red - raw meat 🟦 Blue - raw fish 🟨 Yellow - cooked meat 🟩 Green - fruits & vegetables ⬜️ White - dairy & bakery items 🟫 Brown - root vegetables 🟪 Purple - free from products ● Create a color-coding chart outlining colors for specific tasks or areas. ● Label all equipment, utensils, containers, & areas with the correct colors to reinforce the system. ● Train staff on the system. ● Conduct audits to ensure system compliance.

La limpieza de uno mismo es fundamental, casi tanto o más como la de tu alrededor. "Dime de lo que presumes y te diré de lo que careces" Si si no eres limpio contigo mismo nunca lo vas a ser con lo de tu alrededor, no solo en el ámbito laboral, sino también personal.

Todo lo de este artículo me parece muy interesante. Ya lo decían nuestras madres "no es más limpio el que más limpia sino el que menos ensucia" Y eso es fundamental en una cocina y en el día a día, tanto el orden como la limpieza para mi son fundamentales en este trabajo.
