Correct Cleaning & Sanitizing Procedures for Pots & Pans
While hand washing procedures will effectively clean and sanitize pots and pans, using a dishwasher is beneficial. A dishwasher automatically performs the correct cleaning and sanitation procedure as it's programmed to complete those specific tasks. Additionally, water between 170 and 180 degrees F is uncomfortable for many people, and dishwashers protect hands from the heat. Dishwashers also include a drying cycle, which properly dries pots and pans in a manner that reduces bacteria multiplication. Read the pot's and pan's manufacturer guidelines as all materials are not dishwasher safe.
