Learn how to prepare eWater solutions for food wash and sanitising with these simple steps to ensure safe and clean produce.
Using eWater for Food Wash
Preparing eWater solutions for food wash and sanitising is a straightforward two-step process that ensures your produce is clean and safe. Follow these guidelines to effectively use eWater Clean and eWater Sanitise solutions.
Preparation of eWater Clean Solution
Submerge or Rinse
Begin by submerging or rinsing the produce in the eWater Clean solution. This step helps remove dirt and debris from the surface.
Agitate
Agitate the solution on the surface of the produce to ensure thorough cleaning. There is no prescribed contact time for the cleaning solution.
Preparation of eWater Sanitise Solution
Transfer to Second Sink
After cleaning, transfer the produce to a second sink bowl containing the eWater Sanitise solution.
Submerge or Rinse
Submerge or rinse the produce in the sanitising solution.
Contact Times
- For fruit and vegetables with rough skin surfaces, such as rockmelon, a minimum contact time of 3 minutes with the sanitising solution is recommended.
- For Ready-to-Eat (RTE) products or any produce where there is no cooking step after preparation, a 3 minute contact time is recommended.
- Always check with the chef if a product requires additional contact time.
Refreshing Solutions
- Refresh both the cleaning and sanitising solutions for each batch of produce you are preparing.
- At the end of your shift, always rinse the sinks with fresh water to maintain cleanliness.
Benefits of Using eWater vs Traditional Chemicals:
Safety
eWater solutions are non-toxic and safe for use around food, reducing the risk of chemical residues that can be harmful to health. Traditional chemicals can leave harmful residues on produce.
Environmental Impact
eWater solutions are environmentally friendly, breaking down into harmless salt and water. Traditional chemical cleaners often contain harsh substances that can be harmful to the environment.
Cost-Effective
Using eWater systems reduces the need for purchasing and storing multiple chemical products, leading to cost savings over time. Traditional chemicals can be expensive and require frequent replenishment.
Ease of Use
eWater systems produce cleaning and sanitising solutions at the push of a button, simplifying the process. Traditional chemicals often require precise mixing and handling.
In summary, preparing eWater solutions for food wash and sanitising involves using the eWater Clean solution for initial cleaning and the eWater Sanitise solution for thorough sanitising.
Follow the recommended contact times and refresh solutions as needed to ensure the safety and cleanliness of your produce. The use of eWater provides significant benefits over traditional chemicals, including enhanced safety, environmental friendliness, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use.
