ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Ecolab introduces the KAY® Heated Soak Tank Program for quick
service restaurants (QSRs), which removes carbonized soil from cookware
faster and easier than traditional cleaning methods.
"Carbon build-up can affect food quality and the overall cleanliness of
pots, pans, racks, fryer baskets, utensils, trays and other cookware,"
said Jesse Whitehead, Ecolab vice president of Marketing, Global QSR.
"The Kay Heated Soak Tank Program addresses a persistent cleaning
challenge and effectively removes carbonized soil without scrubbing,
resulting in less time, labor and overall cost for QSRs to ensure clean
cookware."
The rolling, 40-gallon stainless steel tank is compact, and can often
fit conveniently under countertops or prep tables. When cookware soaks
in the Heated Soak Tank with KAY® QSR Heated Soak Tank
Concentrate, carbonized soil is removed faster and with less effort when
compared to traditional cleaning methods.
For plastic ware or less soiled items, effective cleaning in the Heated
Soak Tank could take 15 minutes to an hour of soaking compared to
rigorous scrubbing of these items by hand in a standard
three-compartment sink. For highly carbonized items, such as sheet pans,
pizza pans and some kitchen equipment, proper cleaning results can be
achieved in 72 hours or less, compared to five or six days in a normal
cold soak solution.
"The real difference is the combination of heat with Ecolab's powerful,
aluminum-safe chemistry," said Whitehead. "This one-two punch allows for
best-in-class cleaning, preventing carbonized soils on cooking equipment
while protecting wares from damage."
The Heated Soak Tank Program can eliminate the need for corrosive
products that restaurants often use to ease manual cleaning of
carbonized soils from cooking equipment.
"Customers who tested the KAY QSR Heated Soak Tank Program have said
that it saves them the cost of buying new pans because cookware comes
out looking new," said Eric Nordby, Ecolab technical account manager,
QSR. "The effectiveness of the KAY QSR Heated Soak Tank Concentrate
solution allows a store manager to focus on guests rather than combating
stubborn soils."
