What it covers

The commercial kitchen checks.

How often: weekly

Cold storage

  • Record walk-in cooler and freezer temperatures
  • Check door gaskets and door closers
  • Clean condenser coils on fridges and ice machines

Cooking line

  • Check fryer thermostats and oil condition
  • Check burners and pilot lights on the range
  • Check oven door seals and temperature accuracy
  • Clean grease filters in the extraction hood

Water and cleaning

  • Check dishwasher wash and rinse temperatures
  • Check the ice machine water filter
  • Look for leaks under sinks and around drains

These are common checks to start from. Your machine’s manual and the safety rules for your site come first, so add or change checks to match them.

From the field

Tips for a better check.

  • Record walk-in temperatures at the same time each day, so a slow rise is easy to spot.
  • A torn door gasket makes a cooler work harder. Replace it early, because it costs little.
  • Clean hood grease filters on a fixed day. Grease build-up is a fire risk.

Temperatures are checked daily. A weekly walk-round of the equipment is common, with deeper service such as coil cleaning and hood cleaning on a monthly or quarterly schedule. Your equipment manuals and local food safety rules set the details.
