Food Holding Cabinets: Tips and Tricks

Cleaning

Keeping your food holding cabinets clean is easy: wiping them down inside and out at least once a day with water and disinfectant should keep them in good shape, with (depending on the volume of use) only one or two deep cleanings per year to keep your unit in top shape.

Don’t forget to wipe down the tops of large-sized holding cabinets. Also, periodically move them to allow for sweeping and wet mopping underneath. Finally, don’t forget to clean the door hinges, where oils and dust can build up into a noxious slime.

Efficiency

For top efficiency, don’t allow anything to interfere with the proper workings of the machine. If the holding cabinet has vents, make sure they’re not pressed tightly against the wall. Be sure that the electrical cords are not cinched or twisted in such a way that would cause damage. Finally, do not store heavy items on top of the holding cabinets, since these items can cause pressure damage.

Wear and Tear

Especially important if used in an industrial kitchen, attempt to keep your holding cabinets in areas where high traffic will not lead to dings, bangs, or scrapes when other equipment is moved around it.
