How to Sterilize in the Industrial Kitchen
An industrial kitchen can be categorized in a few different ways, but basically, it refers to a kitchen that is used for commercial purposes, such as found in a restaurant or factory where large amounts of food are produced. When working in an industrial kitchen, you need to understand the sterilization process. While there are a vast number of ways that kitchen equipment can be sterilized, it is not always necessary to use pre-made chemical cleaners. Instead, you can make your own disinfectant solution.

Wipe down the industrial kitchen equipment first with a terry cloth and plain water to remove any built-up residue. Much of the equipment found in industrial kitchens is made with stainless steel. When cleaning stainless steel, don't use abrasive products and be careful to wipe with the grain of the surface, not against.
