Commonly Asked Questions About Commercial Pot Wash Sinks
Why are bowls deeper in pot wash sinks?
The bowls in commercial pot wash sinks are deeper to accommodate large cookware, allowing greater water capacity for soaking. This design is essential in commercial kitchens where handling and cleaning bulky items are daily tasks, ensuring that deep commercial sinks are practical and efficient for the demands of the environment.
How deep is the bowl in a commercial pot wash catering sink?
The bowl of a pot wash sink is typically 400mm deep, with some extra deep models available up to 450mm. This is deeper than standard catering sink bowls, which generally measure approximately 250-300 mm depth. The extra bowl depth in stainless steel pot wash sinks is designed to handle high volumes and large kitchen cookware commonly used in commercial settings.
What configurations are available for stainless steel pot wash sinks?
Stainless steel pot wash sinks come in various configurations to accommodate kitchen requirements, including single bowl, double bowl, and extra wide options. Each configuration provides a bowl size, typically between 400-450 mm deep, perfect for busy pot wash services. All commercial deep sinks have strong construction with reinforced edges and sturdy adjustable legs that offer stability and can support the weight of heavy cookware and large quantities of water. These large capacity sinks all offer efficient drainage that ensures water flows quickly and efficiently out of the sink, preventing any build-up of dirty water which could compromise hygiene. Some models feature high splashbacks to prevent water from splashing onto walls and floors, meaning that a cleaner and safer kitchen environment can be maintained.
Why are deep commercial sinks made of stainless steel?
All deep catering sinks for pot wash use are made from commercial grade high quality stainless steel. The fully stainless steel construction of pot wash sinks provides the durability and strength required of commercial sink units in even the largest of commercial kitchens. It can withstand high temperatures, heavy use, and frequent cleaning with harsh detergents, all without compromising its structural integrity. Stainless steel is also resistant to rust and easy to clean and maintain, ideal for soaking cookware in commercial kitchens.
Does a deep pot wash sink need a hot water supply?
Yes, a deep pot wash sink requires a hot water supply, particularly in a commercial setting and will typically have pre-drilled holes for single and mixer faucets or pre-rinse sprays and taps that can be purchased separately. Hot water is essential for effectively breaking down grease and food residue on pots and pans. It also helps to sanitise and clean the utensils thoroughly, which is crucial for maintaining hygiene standards in commercial kitchens. The availability of hot water in a pot wash sink ensures compliance with health regulations and promotes a safe food preparation environment.
How often do I need to clean my deep pot wash sink?
Your deep commercial stainless steel pot wash sink should be cleaned periodically throughout service if it's in frequent use or after every service otherwise. For routine cleaning, utilise a general-purpose cleaner and disinfectant. To manage large quantities of grease and oil, consider installing a manual or automatic grease trap or using a biological treatment system like GreasePak to prevent blockages and maintain cleanliness.
