How to clean a commercial freezer?
Anyone who has run a restaurant knows that one of the most important aspects of running a restaurant is keeping the freezer clean. Not only is an unclean freezer a potential health hazard for the restaurant’s customers, but an unclean freezer can also increase food costs and decrease profits if it is a harborage for mold and other organisms that may damage the stored food. The first step in cleaning a commercial freezer is to turn the unit off so that there is not a danger of electrical shock while the freezer is being cleaned. The next step is to lay a cloth, old newspapers, or other covering at the bottom of the freezer and underneath the freezer in order to absorb any excess water that will fall from the freezer as ice and frost melts. All food items must then be taken out of the freezer and stored in another temperature-controlled environment. Once all items have been taken out of the freezer, any trays, shelves, or other removable components must then be taken out of the freezer and washed. Once all removable components have been removed from the freezer, the freezer should be allowed to completely defrost. The freezer walls and floors can then be cleaned with hot water and a cleaner that is safe for use on food contact surfaces. The freezer walls and floors should not be cleaned until all ice and frost has been removed from the freezer. Once the freezer has been cleaned, a dry rag should be used to remove all traces of water from the walls and floor of the freezer. It is extremely important to remove any excess water, since any moisture that remains in the freezer will turn to ice when the temperature of the freezer is brought back down below the freezing point. Once the freezer floor and walls have been dried, any removable components taken out of the freezer can then be placed back in the freezer. The freezer should then be turned back on, and the ambient temperature of the freezer should be allowed to return to the temperature specification that is required by the user. Food items can then be returned back to the freezer.

How to Avoid Freezer Burn in a Commercial Freezer?
Businesses who rely on the freshness and safety of their food know that keeping the food at the right temperature is critical. They can also tell you the importance of having food that tastes as fresh as the day that it was placed into the commercial freezer. Here are some ways to make sure that your food is not freezer burned. Organize Your Commercial Freezer Correctly In order to ensure that air circulates properly around the food in your commercial freezer, you should check to make sure that there is about six inches of free space between the sides and top of the freezer and the contents. This is very important to the proper operation of your commercial freezer. Failure to leave this space can change the temperature at which the food is being stored. Temperature variances in commercial freezers can result in freezer burn. Package Your Food Correctly In order to store your food in a way that avoids freezer burn, it is important to always store the food in proper packaging. Most pre-packaged frozen food will be placed into the commercial freezer in plastic bags and possibly boxes. If this is optimal and the food will be used quickly, freezer burn is a small risk. Long term storage containers should be used if the food will be in the commercial freezer for an extended period of time. Know the Contents and Date Your Packages Before placing anything into your freezer, mark it with a storage date. You can date it for when it goes into the freezer, or when it must be used. Either way, be consistent and pay attention to these dates. It is critical to know the storage life of your food. If you place uncooked meat into your freezer, for example, it should be used within six months to guarantee freshness. Failing to use the food in this period of time can and will result in freezer burn.
