Tools that help in the kitchen can make life easier and add functionality
The kitchen is filled with food safety tools that, when used properly, can help keep you and your clients safe and healthy.

Cleaning hard surfaces associated with food processing is becoming increasingly challenging and more desired. It is instructive to focus on the role of cleaning hard surfaces as a distinct activity. While this discussion emphasizes the cleaning of food contact surfaces and transfer lines, the principles also apply to adjacent surfaces not involved in food prep.
