How To Increase The Life Expectancy Of Your Grill And Oven

Your ready reckoner to oven maintenance is here.

What is the value of high life expectancy?

A grill and oven typically last 10 to 12 years. Like all major kitchen appliances, the more you use it, the quicker it will wear out. However, you could extend the life span of your oven and grill if you follow the routine maintenance correctly. The increased life expectancy of the oven and grill brings with it many benefits:

However, taking care of the wooden furniture isn’t only about regularly dusting it. You need to follow the below tips to make sure your wooden furniture stays prim and proper in any season for years to come.

  • Lower utility costs
    Equipment that is cleaned and serviced regularly will consume lesser electricity and eventually will reduce your operational cost.
  • Fewer failures
    Regular inspection and servicing of equipment by certified personnel reduce the chances of unanticipated equipment breakdown, thereby avoiding losses in revenue.
  • Consistency in food quality
    A clean oven will make sure that the quality and taste of the food being cooked is not impaired.
  • Sustained efficiency
    A clean oven runs at maximum efficiency, ensuring the turnaround time of food preparation doesn’t increase unnecessarily.
  • Good resale value
    Start-up restaurants often seek out good deals on well-maintained kitchen equipment. A clean and running oven could fetch you a good amount.

How to extend the life expectancy of your oven and grill?

Follow these recommendations.

A] Keep the stovetop and oven clean

Clean the spills using a sponge as soon as they occur. Of course, sometimes you will need to wait for the oven to cool. But make sure you don’t delay the cleaning, allowing the grease to build up. As spills and other debris accumulate, the oven tends to work harder to heat up, increasing the energy consumption in the process. 

Use Sumabrite Grill and Oven Cleaner. It is a heavy-duty cleaner designed to remove heavy carbonaceous and baked-on deposits from ovens and grills optimally.

Furthermore, this surface-active agent increases the life expectancy of the oven and grill by reducing their energy consumption. All of these benefits without emitting any odour on the cleaned equipment.

Directions for use:

Step 1: Pour the cleaner into a spray bottle.

Step 2: Set the oven temperature at 60 degrees Celsius, and spray neatly. Leave for 10-30 minutes as per the level of soilage. Ensure proper ventilation to avoid fumes.

Step 3: Remove loose deposits with a scourer or brush.

Step 4: Rinse twice with water before allowing it to air dry.

B] Clean the oven racks

You could wash the racks either in a dishwasher or manually under running water. Allow the racks to soak in hot, soapy water. Make sure you wash the racks once a quarter.

C] Clean or replace the drip pans

If your stovetop has drip pans, keep them clean in a fashion similar to the oven racks. In case of caked-on crusts, cover them with distilled white vinegar for half an hour.

Next, sprinkle baking soda on top of the vinegar and rub it into the crusts by hand. Allow them to sit for 15 minutes, then scrub. Consider replacing the drip pans if they look old and grungy.

D] Check your oven door gasket

The gasket retains the heat inside the oven. It also helps keep your kitchen a little cooler when you use the oven during the summer. Replace the gasket if it appears worn, or if heat escapes from the edges of the door while the oven is on.

E] Use a surge protector

If possible, plug your oven into a surge protector. A sudden power surge could fry your oven and lead to a health hazard for your staff.

How To Protect And Increase The Life Of Your Wooden Furniture

A quick read on how to protect your wooden furniture from damage.

Wooden furniture needs care and attention

Wooden furniture is a design statement. It adds sophistication and character to the overall décor of your facility. It’s usually the first piece of attraction for your visitors. No wonder, restaurants and cafes prefer to have wooden furniture. Having said this, it takes effort to retain the gloss on the wooden surface. Fine wooden furniture could last for generations with good care.

However, taking care of the wooden furniture isn’t only about regularly dusting it. You need to follow the below tips to make sure your wooden furniture stays prim and proper in any season for years to come.

Tips to protect wooden furniture

  • Use a coaster on the furniture’s surface when placing drink glasses, jugs, hot utensils or warm food boxes. Avoid placing them directly on the furniture to protect against water rings and heat marks.
  • Keep furniture dry. Prolonged moisture accumulation or dampening of wood could damage the finish and warp the wood
  • Apply water sealant to the furniture to retain the look of the wood. The water sealant helps to:
    • Protect against moisture.
    • Dry up damp wood faster.
    • Retain the colour.
  • Clean up spills as soon as you spot them. If water or other liquids settle on a wood surface, they seep through the pores in the varnish coating, into the wood, and stain it. Use blotting action instead of wiping. This step will avoid spreading the liquid over a greater area.
  • Never let spills dry. This negligence could leave the surface with a permanent stain. Avoid using sharp objects to remove spilt or dried up food from the surface.
  • Avoid using any cover with a rubber, plastic or vinyl backing. The chemicals in these materials could react with the furniture’s finish and damage the surface.
  • When using candles, use a felt protector with a plastic top. If candle wax drops onto the wooden surface, apply an ice cube onto the spilled wax until it goes hard and brittle, and then use a credit/debit card or a plastic spatula to gently scrape the wax off the surface. After removing the candle wax, polish the surface with beeswax polish and buff away any remaining residue.
  • Keep your furniture away from direct sunlight to avoid premature ageing. Similarly, keep it away from radiators and air conditioning units, as extreme changes in temperature could cause the wood to dry, crack or warp.
  • Polish the wood every year to retain its luster. This step prevents wax build-up and also protects the surface from moisture and dust.
  • Dust and clean your furniture regularly to avoid the surface from turning grimy. It is preferable to use a pure cotton cloth to avoid scratching and smudges, and will also give the surface a soft shine. For heavily soiled surfaces, use Crew Furniture Cleaner and Maintainer.

Abrasive scrubs scratch the steel surface. On the contrary, use a soft sponge and a microfiber cloth to clean a stainless steel kitchen.
