Clean The Kitchen As You Go.

Posted on November 15, 2010 by admin

1. A bowl for waste. Set a large empty bowl on the counter near your prep area and use it for all garbage.

2. Warm soapy water. Fill your sink with warm soapy water. As you finish using something, a knife or measuring spoon for example, wash it immediately.

3. Dishwasher. If youLeave the door down during prep and as you’re done with an item pop it directly in the dishwasher. As soon as it’s full and can’t take any more start it up. Done.

4. Wipe down. Use a damp soapy cloth to wipe down your work area periodically. Prevent contamination and possible food poisoning by cleaning the counter, cutting boards and utensils well after handling meat.

5. Shine your sink. This is a great habit to get into.

6. Sweep. Pick it up as soon as you notice it and wipe up any spills immediately so they don’t have time to dry and become really difficult to clean up.

7. Purge the fridge. As you’re cooking and you reach into the fridge have a quick look around for anything you know has been in there a while or you think might be past due.
