Question

What is the best way to clean utensils?

Community Answer

Each restaurant will have its own procedure that you need to follow for washing utensils. However, you can start by filling a tub with soap and warm water. Let the utensils soak in the water prior to washing and sanitizing them.

Question

Does anyone else get pain in their hands? Is there proper form for lifting dishes?

Community Answer

When lifting dishes, try to pick it up from in front of you, and be sure squat as you put it up because that will help make it feel lighter.
