Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions we hear from operators.

How often should you clean a commercial griddle?

Most kitchens scrape the surface between busy periods and give it a proper clean at the end of the day, since grease and food residue that sit on the surface burn on and get harder to remove. How often you deep clean depends on how much you cook and what you cook, so follow your griddle manufacturer's instructions. A cleaner like the Atosa ATGC101 High Temp Griddle Cleaner is made to remove grease, grime, and burnt-on food residue when a scraper alone isn't enough.

Can you use griddle cleaner on a hot griddle?

It depends on the product. Some griddle cleaners are meant for a warm or hot surface and others aren't, so read the label and your griddle manufacturer's instructions before you start. The Atosa ATGC101 is a high temp griddle cleaner, so check its label for directions on surface temperature. Whatever you use, be careful around a hot surface, and wipe the griddle down as the instructions say before you cook on it again.

What is the difference between cleaning and sanitizing in a restaurant kitchen?

Cleaning removes grease, food residue, and dirt from a surface, while sanitizing reduces bacteria on a surface that has already been cleaned. Kitchens usually need both, in that order. The Atosa ATGC101 is described as removing grease, grime, and burnt-on food residue, so check its label to see whether it's also meant to sanitize. Requirements can vary, so check with your local public health unit if you're unsure what your kitchen needs.
