    as a veteran potwasher, who years later lead a kitchen of chefs, potwash for many was the best place to be to get into the zone and be at peace. but to do this you had to get your head into the game of being focused, organized, and fast. each potwasher does the job differently, just like every place has a different setup, as well as the chefs and waiting team deal with it differently.
    if you ever go into a potwash area on your first day, or any shift for that matter. focus on 3 things first, 1. what items are most important right there and then for the chefs or waiting team, possibly they need some plates, and cutlery. so dont use up the time by putting through the large containers.
    2. organize the shitfest you walked into or during your shift, get all the plates, cutlery, containers etc ( differently places have different things), have them all organized so you know whats what and your able to gets more of a clear surface and less danger.
    3. for a tip for the cutlery, spill it into the sink ( or even better the flat tray to save your back, give it a quick spray but control the spray handle so you dont soak yourself and the floor) and get the cutlery rack and start organizing it ( on the flate tray) with the tails down, this enables it to come out hopefully streak free and easy to polish. add the cutlery with a space with the dishes or on a flat tray with some cups etc
    extra tip. dont have the plates facing towards you ie towards the floor, otherwise you will end up with yourself getting soaking wet and the floor soaked. within an hour you will be depressed. face it to your right so the water goes into the sink.

      I never worked in a big kitchen. I do have a similar story though. When I was in high school I worked at Taco Bell and on my first day they put me in dishes. I was so upset I almost just walked out.
      After that I did get to do everything else. Everything EXCEPT washing dishes was absolute chaos. Later I loved washing dishes. Everything around me was madness but I was just doing my thing.

Scrape off what I could then soak it with neat oven cleaner and repeat.

    Watching this video after switching out of a dishwasher job almost 3 months ago. Only worked at the place for a month and a half. Hated doing the dishes the most. They'd be piled high at 6pm when you came in, and you'd stay likely until 3am just cleaning, with no breaks. Now I work at an animal shelter with cats, which I enjoy much, much more than dishwashing. HOWEVER, I do have a ton of respect for the thick-skinned and patient people in this overlooked field of work. Nice video that reminded me of some not-so-nice times!

      I like to take breaks, but sometimes there is just too much shit to do, and have to survive on a meal and a quick water run.
      The key to turning dirty into clean is organization. Fit everything together, keep everything moving close together, bulk waves, etc.
      Then even the most annoying pile ups could just be gone in an hour or two.

    GREAT VIDEO! Now I know I'm washing dishes correctly and I learned a few tips too. In the restaurant I work in as a closing dishwasher I get the usual dishes, glasses, utensils. Everything in constant motion. We have the same dish machine as yours in the video. We ALSO have nice a 3-sink area that isn't used for some reason - especially as it should be like you use yours in your video. I have wondered why that is, honestly because we need it! I'm a newer dishwasher struggling to find a way to logically get everything properly handled throughout the night and I see that un-used 3-sink station and wonder why we are not using it.
    Our dishwasher area is small like yours. There's usually two of us working; however, our work styles are completely opposite:
    >> I give the dishes a rinse and a pass with my scrubber to loosen the stuck-on food -- especially cheese! I also rinse the greasy items and even use a little Dawn to break it up with a quick swipe of my dish wand.
    >> The other dishwasher takes shortcuts and might give things a quick spray, but that's all. He assumes the "dishwasher" is going to take care of it. More often than not, items need re-washed when he works the dishwasher area.
    You hit the nail on the head when you said it's more of a "sanitizer" than a washer.
    As a CLOSING dishwasher, EVERYTHING is coming your way as the night moves on and you are getting more tired. Every greasy container, mixing bowl, huge stainless steel pots, fry pans, fry pan and grill utensil, deep fryer equipment all dripping in grease and food particles, salad bar containers all stacked inside each other with the salad dressing still inside each one making it extra hard to separate the containers prior to rinsing them out. And now that salad dressing "goo" is on the entire container (not just the inside) thanks to that. Our restaurant uses a batter mix for fish, the batter is left inside that container and it turns to glue if not immediately soaked or rinsed out. I've gotten those "stacked inside each other" big stainless steel batter containers literally handed to me by the cook staff -- because there's no more room on the counter. They might as well tell me "Fuck you" at the same time because that's surely what it feels like. I've actually started asserting myself kindly asking them to place them in the large 3-sink station and run a little water on them until I can get to them.
    I don't mind the plates coming back that weren't cleared off first, or the glasses that are stuffed with used napkins and straws. I have my gloves on all the time and I'd rather be the one to handle that than the servers. Honestly, I don't know the rules or the protocol for that stuff; that is, what the servers and bussers are actually supposed to do. We do have at least a dozen garbage cans all over the place, so I'm assuming they can use those to clear the plates before bringing them to us. For me it's these large containers from the stations that are broken down at night that we get filled with food, grease, batter... all coming to that tiny little sink area with a single-rack dishwasher and very little room move when it comes all at once. I've gotten close to tears on some nights. Again, the other dishwasher I work with doesn't think it's necessary to rinse any of these items out, he'll just flip these greasy dripping containers over and run it through unrinsed. He doesn't take full advantage of the 3-sink station to rinse and maneuver these big greasy items, items so large that you can only fit one item in at a time.
    That dishwasher never stops; and I never stop because I'm setting up that next dish rack or two. The other dishwasher wants to hurry everything up, wants to get out shortly after closing -- which all depends on how busy the night was actually. He gets cranky when I take a second to scrub something or use a little Dawn dish soap to help break up that grease quickly right there at that single one sink we use. This sink drain has no drain strainer so it clogs up often unless I take 10 seconds to clear the food debris out of it about every hour. And there is no food disposal so I HAVE to clear it out. The tantrums thrown by the other dishwasher when I take these little seconds for this and that that, in my opinion, matter to keep everything flowing.
    I texted the owner letting him know I'm struggling to find the method to the madness in that kitchen. I have yet to see a kitchen manager or a "lead" or anyone to that affect. No one oversees anything in the "back of the house". No one even checks in. The other dishwasher has been there only a few MONTHS longer than me and I think he thinks he knows best, calls the shots. At night the piles of pots and containers are on the floor due to lack of space. It all goes un-noticed, no shits given. The only thing that happens by anyone else passing through our over-loaded, dumped-on, fuck you'd area are the folks coming in the back to grab a quick vape.
    I actually like this job. It's my 2nd job. I'm coming directly from a first job to do this very physical 2nd job and do it as best I can using straight-up logic. I'm middle-aged, and I know things thanks to time and experience. After my first job I'll come in and get into my "dishwashing zone" and doing things in an automatic fashion. I've discovered certain methods work better than others, and I do things according to priority to keep the "front of the house" staff served. The other guy trained me how to do stuff, but avoided showing me how to correctly do things. Everything's a shortcut to him and the "end of the world" if I take the proper steps. Your video shed light on the fact that I really am doing things correctly and safely and only with a few extra seconds of time. I'm just disappointed in the lack of procedure, lack of consideration, lack of "other sink usage", lack of "in-charge" person, lack of respect for the necessary job needing done correctly especially now with Covid and flu on the rise again. I love to work independently, but I just feel so shit on and forgotten back there. There's other places I can go and work, indeed. And I just might. Thank you for reading, and pardon my profanity here. Very sincerely ~

    The 5 star I worked at just had their pipes redone in the kitchen when I started. It's amazing having your wash agents on your sprayer. We just usually stick with regular dish soap when we use the feature. It melts the grease off mixed with 100° water.
    Great tips as well! Can we have a follow-up with how kitchen staff interact with you? For example: they have a urgent dish, you gotta cut the line and stop normal operations.
    Also new washers: make sure your doors are closed! The chemicals and hot water from the dishwasher will spray out if not shut! Know where your eye wash stations are as well. You're always working with mild irritants.

    • @kokkieamiga
      @kokkieamiga 11 месяцев назад

      You said, that you need to keep the machine doors closed while the machine is running.. I understand why you said that, but for example, the machine in this video, has an electromagnetic switching system to check, if the doors are closed or not. If the magnets aren't making a connection the machine will not start washing. If your machine doesn't do that, it's either very old, or the electromagnetic switch is broken. Like I said in my previous comment below this video, american professional dishwashers look really antique. In my starting years back in 1990, dishwashers already had this magnetic switch in their doors. I'm really happy, that we don't have such machines like the ones you described, or the one in this video at work anymore, as it will make work so much less efficient, especially when having loads of dish wares being delivered the whole day long. Then you NeeD to have proper working dishwashers and additional utensils to do your work as easy as possible. At work, we once had 2 flight type machines. After a while, one got replaced by a rack conveyor machine as this was much more flexible to work with. Well, it was sure a very good machine, it never broke down. But I never found it as flexible as a flight type machine is. After 9 years we moved over to a new building, and guess what, they installed 2 new rack conveyor dishwashers.. They were actually of worse quality as what we used to have in the old building.They break down once in 14 days, and needs to be repaired. Maybe it's a way of life, but I hate it so much to return all those 450 empty baskets per day. In 1 year, we probably go back to 2 flighttype machines again, because the current 2 rack conveyor machines are finally at their end of life moment! more info about that, in my other comment.

    One of my first jobs was a pot washer in a factory, it was Italian cuisine. We did absolutely everything by hand, there were 2 bays one in the front & one out back, we had to use a hose similar to a fire hose sprayer the only difference was it was about 60 degrees of heat. We had to hand wash & rince massive sauce buckets sometimes 30 buckets in a day, stained with sauce, & the trays were the worst. Giant trollys of trays, sometimes there were 3 or 4 trollys at once, the trays were caked in burnt lasagne, involved scraping each & every tray at once before you could even begin the hand process of washing & rinsing. Every morning at 6 am I would arrive to a mess, trollys of trays, sauce tubs & buckets, muffin trays & everything was of commercial size. I'm so fucking glad I left that shit hole & got a better job!!

    We train all our dishwashers to help in the kitchen when there's downtime so that they can learn a higher paying skill and if they want to become a cook and show that they can follow directions properly while banging out task after task. Poor guy can only put 1 rack at a time. We're lucky to have an automatic feeder where can just keep feeding racks and the new rack will push the old rack through the line begin air drying once it gets out of the washer and gets time to air dry. For the utensils always put them handle down. If your servers are doing their job right they will polish the utensils anyway. By putting it handle first the tip of the fork or spoon will be at the top. That's where all the dirt/food was. The water will trickle down the handle. If you put it head side down then itll be cleaning in a pool of bacteria. Those racks are also filthy as well. Your spoons will be dirtier coming out of the dishwasher than going in by putting them head down.

That's awesome. I loved when our dishwashers didn't show up for their shifts. I was the least experienced cook at the time so I would have to take over their position. I still got paid my same hourly rate of $20 at the time which was great 10 years ago so I loved it. There was something calming about the hectic dish pit. Once you have the perfect system in place your hands just move without thinking. The dish pit is very therapeutic haha. A sweet symphony. Working with rookies sucks though. But if they can follow directions it's a breeze

    I appreciate the thought to create this video with all the new gig jobs out there sucking people up with little to no experience. What would be helpful is if there was a flow to the video much like an instructional video. IE - Start with this, then move onto this. Rinse, repeat (no pun intended). Then after X cycles of that, look at your food traps for cleaning opportunities then start back on your original rotation. Something like that.

    I find it fun to watch american dish washer systems, but they look so antique, to what we're using here in Europe. It is not even the same, as when I was beginning my carreer back in 1990. Even back then, it was more modern, as what I see here in this video. No need to thoroughly pre rinse dishes, and being afraid, that particles will end up in the nozzles. As long as the final rinse works fine at at least 85 degrees Celcius, you're fine! These days (The past 23-29 years) I'm working with rack conveyor or flight type dishwashers. Some others were talking about these too, in the comments. Those are the machines to go for, when you have a larger restaurant or institutional business. It will make work much easier, than using these old fashioned single tank machines. Even the machine of this video, is lacking a 2 way cycle, of washing and final rinsing, as there is only one spray arm on each level instead of 2. Even our current dishwasher, which is a cheap and not so good working machine, is much better as what I usually see in dishwasher videos on youtube. At the end of this year, we hope to get a new, high tech dishwasher flight type alike machine. It hopefully will have 3 tracks, for trays, cutlery and plates respectively! The trays and cutlery will be autofed, the rest, we must put on the conveyor by hand. These are the dishes of a 450 guests business.

    I believe the safe method is empty and clean the dishwasher every 2 hrs. Thats what I wish the guys would do at the restaurant I work at. They drain it and clean out the grates but they don't go that extra mile with the sprayers.
    Edit: The managers have finally gotten the help to get the dishwasher cleaned out properly every day every 2 hrs. However since the sewer pipes that run through the whole building are connected to the same pipes that run from the bathrooms they often clog up so there is nothing that can be done expect to vacuum the shit out of the pipes leaving a foul odor near the dishwasher and my god does it smell bad its so foul that when it happens I can't bear to be in the back at all not until we bleach the pipes and the whole area its so bad that I would gut the whole restaurant and start over but alas they don't have that kind of money and I can't find another job I have maybe 7 months before I leave this job due to the fact I am moving to another house so I hope there is no more shit that I have to deal with in those 7 months.
    Edit 2: The managers have solved the problem temporarily there haven't been any fowl smells in the pipes and the dishwasher pipes do get a good cleaning at the end of brunch everyday.

      That's odd, because how could you remove coffee and tea stains in a fast and efficient way. I know of about some special cleaning agent to remove such stains, but it never worked so well and fast as bleach. In Europe, bleach is added to machine wash detergent. But hey, wait a minute. Bleach, like you said, doesn't mean, there are all dangerous types (Chlorine). There also are other types of bleach on the market.

What you need is 2 persons that want to work, a big double sink, Dreft detergent,warm water, much place to set used and washed off pots and pans and a special cloth that takes up much water and leaves no traces on the table ware. Like a drag. Besides that a machiine that rinces washes and dries glasses in one haul cuz otherwhise you will break too much glasses. Such an installation costs fast over a 100000 euros and is a liability. Just make sure you'll give your dishwashers a good meal and good pay. Done!

      you shouldnt have to clean the sprayers every 2 hours as youre saying that food gets trapped into the washers, the reason is because of how much scraps of food is getting sent into the machine, hence not spraying the back of the plates. just you pulling out that grate shows how much food gets sent into the machine, you were just saying about how if you put them in dirty they come out dirty, but you already are putting dirty dishes in there because youre not fully cleaning every dish. the backs of the plate will have food stuck to them like egg, bits of lettuce, etc. that when stacked "clean" dishes that food will transfer to the next dish on the stack, so youre just making it worse for the cooks and the customers.

I have noticed that the majority of k.p do the same. If we put items dirty inside, the water from dishwasher will become dirty too and with a high level o bacterias. This is about hygene and safety of customers. I am a k.p from 6 years and I've never put nothing dirty inside dishwasher. Cups also need to be washed by sponge because the coffee will not clean itself. A good k.p will always keep water inside dishwasher in better conditions. As a k.p you need to be fast and well organized.
