Dishwashing

Overall Expectations Clean up here is important, since class periods are short you need to clean up while you work. At home you may have an automatic dishwasher but at school you need to do dishes by hand.

Overall Expectations It is important to follow our rules so that germs are killed and sickness is not spread through poor sanitation habits. Germs need 3 things: - food - moisture - warmth to live, and they will have all of these if you don’t wash and dry your dishes correctly.

Dishwashing Rules Scrape and stack the dishes. Some dishes may need to be rinsed before washing. When rinsing make sure to have the sink strainer in place to catch food particles. Food particles and leftover grease can easily clog up sink pipes. Make sure to pour all leftover grease into a grease can which is located in the refrigerator.

Dishwashing rules 2 Wash dishes cleanest to dirtiest. Wash in this order: Glasses Silverware Plates Pots and pans

Dishwashing Rules 3. Wash in hot soapy water. Fill the sink half full with hot water and add one squirt of detergent.

Dishwashing Rules 4. Rinse in hot water. Rinsing in hot water will kill germs and help the dishes dry faster.

Dishwashing Rules 5. Dry dishes with a clean, dry towel. Do not use dishtowels to dry your hands or put over your shoulder while doing dishes. This passes bacteria from you, to the dishtowel, to the dishes. Paper towels for drying your hands can be fo und in your kitchen in the towel drawer.
