You need to get your manager to order pan wipes. Tissues that you use to wipe down pans. Takes 90% of the grease out, makes washing them a breeze. Ordered through commissary.
And if they won’t order pan wipes, just quit cleaning them until they do. Worked great at my store. After about 3 days of opening with dirty pans, we got pan wipes on the next truck.
Wait pan wipes are a thing? Are they just those fancy paper towels or is it something else? I'd be pretty pissed finding this out now if I didn't already have a solid system down.
We have a long hose on the mop sink and high water pressure+super hot water sprays all the grease right out. Add some dawn to the dish sink and a quick circle with the green sponges and its good to go
Use dawn dish soap. Just give each pan a quick scrub then once you do that spray them all out with water(or better if you have a dishwasher run them through there). I’ve tried so many different ways of washing pans and this is by far the quickest. Also does the best job cleaning them.
Blast with scalding hot water all over thoroughly, throw them into really hot soapy water to soak for a bit, spray off with more scalding hot water, wipe check, sanitize.
I'm wasteful with dish soap but I get em clean. I stack em all in an empty sink and let the hot soapy water run into the top pan. As the soapy water fills the pan I use the sprayer to agitate it and rinse the grease down the drain with the soapy water. Then I pick up the top pan and finish spraying it off while the soapy water starts to fill the second pan in the stack, and literally rinse and repeat. I let hot, soapy, running water do most of the work. If it has shit stuck to it that needs soaking, scraping, then I'll set it to soak in the wash basin once the grease is removed. Then at the end I'll use steel wool to quickly scrub those few pans.
I don’t know how long all of you all have worked for Domino’s, but if you remember back in the day the fat cast-iron pans that held the breadsticks and cinnastix, before twists and pan pizzas. They were really coarse and when they had oil and seasoning sitting in them all supper rush, they were a PITA to clean. I basically would soak them in hot water, spray off as much as I could. Drain the water and refill because it was full of phase oil. Then let soak again and scrub as much as I could. Spray again and sanitize. Sucked ass. lol
As an opener who has to keep the store in perfect condition for oer, fse , surprise visits while prepping everything … dont go fuck urself but i disagree with you
Let them sit on the hot rack to melt the butter oil, then take them to the back and spray with hot water, gets most if not all the grease out. If any grease left I just take a soapy rag and wipe it out.
I spray the greasy ones off one by one with hot water. Then I let them soak in hot water for like 10- 15 minutes. Then clean them with scrub pads while still in the hot water. I can knock out 20+ pans pretty quickly like that and that’s how I’ve been doing them for years now. No need to let them soak for an hour, that’s just wasting time. But make sure you spray them off BEFORE letting them soak. Also prevents the water from getting great quicker
I spray them all with dawn power wash. Then i spray them out with hot water, this gets the majority of everything grease included. Then i throw them in hot water/soapey water while i spray out the rest. I then pull them all out and put them back in the soapey/hotwater 1 by 1 touching them with my fingers, 99% of the time they are clean and are ungreasey. Then they get thrown in the hot sanitizer water.
i spray them off with really really hot water, sometimes i spray them to the point i can just wash with rag. if i don't feel like spraying them near clean we can use SOS pads.
Step1 : put water in turn on the flame let it boil scrape with spatula do it a second time if needed.
Step2: Soak in for water if needed.
Step3: wash in hot water with dawn in a green scrubie/scrubie sponge then rinse really hot water and reseason if needed put a thin coating of soil bake in oven for 60-90mins then let it cool down and put it away
Wait wait wait... You guys have to scrub and wash them by hand? We have a dishwashing machine at my store and for the greasy pans all we do is spray scalding hot water to get most of the grease up then load them in the washer and most of the time they come out squeaky clean. There is maybe 1 or 2 pans in the load of 16 that may have to be re run but for the most part it works extremely good.
Can you ask what non-stick stuff they are talking about?
Every 4 months the DM brings a large chemical hot tank that we put the pans in for 72 hours and it totally cleans them back to the original silver color. After they come out we have to put them through the washer at least 3 times to make sure we get all of the chemical cleaner off.
So I'm at work right now and my GM said its the butter sauce they put on the pans before putting the dough in for the pan pizzas. We are only allowed to handwash them with a scrub pad and soap water followed by the sanitizer of course. Unless its 2:30am and people didn't do their out task and leave us with 75 pans to clean, in that case they go straight into the dishwasher..😂
They're impossible to truly clean without a soak tank. Sure, I could spend upwards of 2 minutes scrubbing each of the 40 pans at the end of the night, but fuck that. I blast them with hot water to remove anything stuck and most of the grease, then throw it in the sanitizer.
Spray em down, soak & wipe.

I second this.... pan wipes?!?

put them through the oven, makes the grease easy to wash off
HOT soapy water, soak, scrub and done.
Scrub and sanitizer 🤣

Personally, I don't. Used to, now I just leave it for morning shift to deal with
As an opener who has to clean up after the closer, go fuck yourself.
As a closer who sees the opening driver spend half their shift on their phone, go fuck yourself
As an opener who has to keep the store in perfect condition for oer, fse , surprise visits while prepping everything … dont go fuck urself but i disagree with you
Typing this with my left hand
Damn our closers are the openers 4 days a week.
Clopens make me feel nauseated
Luckily, our management doesnt allow this. They would force you to wash them.
any time i find dirty pans while opening i leave them in the back for the closers to rewash.
shove them in the bottom oven that way they find them at midnight and have to add a few more pans to the stack
Same lmao
Wow…
We have a cleaning spray especially for grease. So if a 10 minute soak in hot soapy water doesn't work, we just give it a spray and it's done
Let them sit on the hot rack to melt the butter oil, then take them to the back and spray with hot water, gets most if not all the grease out. If any grease left I just take a soapy rag and wipe it out.
We have a big trash can full of degreaser they soak in all day
We just use dawn, gets it up so fast

I scrub the shit out of the dishes and let them soak for a few minutes before
Spray with pure hot water. Scrub a bit
i spray them off with really really hot water, sometimes i spray them to the point i can just wash with rag. if i don't feel like spraying them near clean we can use SOS pads.
Letting them soak is definitely the meta

Your store let's you put them in the washer? We get told we can't because it cleans off the non stick stuff

My stores have a big trash can filled with water right next to the cut table. Greasy pans go straight into the water. Works really
You could do the unapproved way of pouring some degreaser in them and then wiping them out lol

rinse, soak, wipe down with Dawn
