If I don’t plan to use my equipment for a while, after cleaning it, I will cover the equipment with plastic film or put it in a ziplock bag it to keep the dust off it.
processhead after cleaning and a hot rinse with 140* water time to air dry. After dry 6-24hrs i spray the working parts of the equipment with a lite coat of food safe silicone to protect the surfaces fm oxidation. I use clear large bags as covers. I’ve kept and reuse the bags that the equipment came in… store till used. Grinder Plates and knives spray lubed, are stored in heavy freezer ziplock bags. Knife in one, and plate in one stored in, and with the paired knife’s bag. To help id, use a marker on the bag with the grind size. Also for cleaning equipment: hot water (140*) to knock of the food stuff and grease, soap wash, hot water bath or spray (140*), and air dry. Tip, use hi-top rubber gloves and cotton throw-away inserts for insulation (H-F). 6pair for $2. Throw-away rubber gloves have become a little pricy. I still use them for durability, but vinyl gloves are cheap, not as strong but a good sub for a short cycle to keep cross contamination in check.

processhead Very good write up. I use mortar mixing tubs for cleaning my equipment, don’t have big enough sinks to handle everything. Also have a Worx portable pressure washer that I can use with a bucket of hot water to cut the grease.
bocephus Hi side Black or gray bus-boy lugs 3-$4 also make a great wash tub. 3 on a counter or work area: 1st hot rinse, 2nd soap wash and 3rd hot rinse… Air Dry. Military field kitchen use the same concept, but used galvanized trash cans filled with potable water w/emersion heaters, and long handled stiff scrub brushes. 1, 2, and 3.

Do the lights dim when you plug that blender in?
I remember my parents had one similar when I was young, but theirs was a nasty yellow.

The lights don’t dim but I have to admit I am no fan of the avocado color scheme. It’s right out of the 1970’sPaul

The avocado was to match the green shag carpeting in the living room. -

JoeB Mortar tubs are very similar, smooth bottom for easy clean up, I also use a different one for mixing meat with seasoning because of the smooth bottom.

bocephus Well i learn something new every day. I always used a 5gl graduated bucket for mixing mortar. what is the cost for a mortar tub? The busboy tubs have (cost extra) fitted lids/ stackable covers. Have you checked the bottom trade stamp for fda food safe approved plastics. I’m kind of an*l about those things. Interested… Please ck. Thanks for the info…

JoeB They are $6 or $7 at lowes or home depot. Don’t know about food grade but my father found them about 40 years ago and been using ever since to mix sausage in. Might not be suitable for commercial but we have never had a problem and because of the flat bottom and curve in the ends they sure work nice. Just checked it is marked PP 5.

bocephus Wow pp5 is one of the safest plastics out there. Thanks for sharing. Great home solution. Cheers

Just because a tub is not marked as food safe, does not automatically mean it is not.
It may mean it just was never tested/certified/stamped by some agency. Looking at what kind of plastic it is made of is probably a good start.I guess I might be a little cautious about using a container that was made of recycled materials. With those, you don’t have a clue what residues are in there and what chemicals may have come along for the ride.

processhead I agree. To each their own device. For me the oils and processing used are the unforeseen elements. Unless it’s fda food safe there is a good chance it was made economically with carcinogenic chemicals. If the tool is there why not use it. Just what I do.

bocephus I think for me the size is too big for my meat fridge. If you are a diy woodworker i’ll send you a plan to use the lugs as pull out storage bin pullout inserts, Mobil Coaster- door cabinet . Cheers

JoeB I would love the plans, thanks.

bocephus I’ll dig them out and send them… Email still good?

JoeB Yes, that would be great. Thanks.
