One of the most important – no, vital – jobs in the catering industry is washing up glasses, plates, cups, cutlery, and do on, after they have been used. If you are a caterer, you no doubt are in the business because you love to cook and get pleasure from seeing your customers enjoying the food and drink that you provide.
However, after they have eaten, you have to deal with the dirty plates, glasses, and cutlery by putting them through the dishwasher. In order to handle everything as quickly and efficiently as possible, you need to put them into
dishwasher racks so that they can be cleaned and stored away as soon as possible. There are a lot of dishwasher racks on the market, but how do you select the ones that provide the best performance, both for washing and for storage?
The problems with them are that some do not provide the best performance when cleaning, some don’t dry very well, which means that you may have to dry and polish glasses when they have come out of the dishwasher, or, worst case scenario, glasses and cups may come out of the dishwasher and still have lipstick stains on them.
The Austrian company, Fries, is probably the leading manufacturer of dishwasher racks and its’ products are designed to deal with every problem that washing dishes and glasses can produce.
Take a look at their Clixrack 500 glass rack as an example. This is the ideal solution for storing, washing, and transporting the most common sizes of glassware. These racks are the standard 50cm x 50cm size but are extendable vertically so that they can accommodate different sizes of glassware.
They are very easy to assemble yourself without the use of any tools and the clix extenders are available in different sizes and serve as a vertical link between the base rack and top frame. They are also lightweight, easy to carry, and have Efficient Wash Design (EWD) which means that your glasses will come out of the washer clean. There is even a tilt mechanism available so that you can dry the base of the glasses more quickly.
