The use and maintenance of equipment commonly used in pastry making

First, the use of the oven and maintenance

1. Use of the oven

Baking is a technical work, the operator must master the characteristics and performance of the oven used.

(1) Before using the oven for the first time should read the instruction manual in detail to avoid accidents due to improper use.

(2) Products before baking, the oven must be preheated, until the temperature reaches the requirements of the process can be baked; preheating also saves time, do not wait until the product is formed to open the oven.

(3) According to the product process requirements for a reasonable choice of baking time.

(4) The oven also has its own personality, different ovens, even if the temperature is set the same, the actual temperature may be different. Therefore, in the baking process, pay attention to observe the product appearance changes, timely temperature adjustment.

(5) The oven should be turned off immediately after use, the temperature drops to clean up the residue in the oven.

2. Oven maintenance

Focus on the maintenance of the oven, can ensure the normal use of equipment, extend the life of the oven, but also to ensure the quality of products is an important means.

(1) Keep the oven clean, but cleaning should not use water to prevent moisture leakage of electrical appliances.

(2) Keep the oven dry, do not talk about wet utensils directly into the oven.

(3) If the oven is out of service for a long time, the oven should be wiped clean inside and outside, with a good plastic cover and stored in a dry ventilated place.

Second, the use of gas stoves and maintenance

1. Use of gas stove

(1) Before use, must first confirm that the gas stove switch is closed, and then open the gas source valve.

(2) The use of gas equipment should master the “first ignition, after the gas” principle, to prevent accidents.

2. Gas stove maintenance

(1)Keep the cooker clean and sanitary, keep the eye of the fire unobstructed.

(2) Long-term use of the gas hose will be aging or broken, the formation of security risks. Therefore, the air inlet hose should be replaced in time when there is aging.

(3) Observe the gas stove parts whether there is aging, rust, etc., in order to eliminate potential accidents.

Third, the use of mixers and maintenance

1. Use of mixer

(1)Before using the mixer, you should know the performance, working principle and operation procedure of the equipment, and operate strictly according to the procedure.

(2) The mixing cylinder must be placed in a stable position to avoid failure when mixing.

(3) The mixer can not be overloaded, do not want to save a lot of material at a time, should be avoided for a long time non-stop operation.

(4) Before using the mixer, you should check whether the parts are intact or not, and confirm it before starting the operation.

(5) During the operation of the equipment, you should not force the speed change handle to change the speed, you should turn off the mixer and then change the speed, otherwise it will damage the speed change device and transmission parts.

(6)When abnormal sound is heard during the operation of the equipment, it should be stopped immediately for inspection and troubleshooting before continuing the operation.

(7) Do not put debris on the equipment, so as not to fall into the mechanical debris damage to the equipment.

2. Maintenance of mixer

(1)Equipment with gearbox should be timely supplemented with lubricating oil to maintain a certain amount of oil to reduce friction and avoid gear wear.

(2) The main parts of the equipment, wearing parts, motor maintenance and inspection should be carried out regularly.

(3) Often keep the mixer clean, the mixer can be used to clean the exterior of the weak alkaline warm water scrubbing, cleaning to cut off the power supply to prevent accidents.

Fourth, the use of refrigerators and maintenance

1. Use of refrigerator

(1) Refrigerator should be placed in the air circulation, away from heat sources and not under the direct sunlight of the place, the box around the body should be left more than 10 ~ 15cm of clearance, to facilitate ventilation and cooling.

(2) Refrigerator must be neatly placed in accordance with the provisions of the stored food, food should not be stored too much and should be checked regularly, between the food to leave a gap to keep the cold air flow.

(3) Food stored in the refrigerator should be separated from raw and cooked food, and the food should not be put into the refrigerator when it is hot.

(4) The use of refrigerators should minimize the number of times you open and close the refrigerator door to reduce the loss of cold air.

2. Maintenance of refrigerator

(1) to regularly remove the frost inside the refrigerator, defrosting should cut off the power supply, remove the food stored in the refrigerator, so that the frost automatically melt. Do not wait until the accumulation of frost piled up in the refrigerator, only to think of removing, and remove with a shovel, it is easy to damage the refrigerator.

(2) Do not often cut off the power supply during the operation of the refrigerator, which will make the compressor overload operation, shorten the service life of the refrigerator.

(3) When the refrigerator is out of service for a long time, it should be scrubbed clean inside and outside the refrigerator, air-dried, the door will be slightly open, covered with a plastic cover, and placed in a ventilated dry place.
