    Why are you on reddit then? Get scrubbin’!

    I mean, it needs to be cleaned, sure. Why didn’t the last person who… *squints at picture* caramelized the dry outer layers of the onions clean it several weeks ago? Do you serve caramelized onions daily?

  3. This is fucking disgusting. I can only imagine the amount of mold spores floating around there. 

    I’d fire whoever left that

    Spray some bleach , some hot water , let it sit for 15 mins , scrub with soap and voila

    30-45 mins to make that spotless if you aren’t an idiot. Get to work.

    Take pictures, send them to the health dept in your town, quit immediately.

    Chef’s a dumbass. But that’s an easy fix. Plenty of bleach first to kill the mold (DILUTE IT). Then lots of green scrubbies and detergent. Easy peasy.

    EDIT: AND YES WEAR A MASK. DONT BREATHE THAT SHIT

    How the fuck does it get like this?? Does he wipe his butt after pooping either?? Gross

    Why the fuck wasn’t this cleaned last time it was used? You a new chef

    Caustic would chew through that in no time. On the brewing side we would occasionally find a tank that had been drained and rinsed but forgotten to be washed post brew.

    We usually wouldn’t find out till around an hour before needing to move fresh beer into it during inspection. 20 mins of soaking in 150F caustic wash would turn anything solid into a liquid and sparkling shiny stainless.

    Showed chef how it could take the old grease off the exhaust in a spray and swipe. No scrubbing. They took a gallon for the kitchen.

    It’s usually a specialty brewing chemical and needs extra safety equipment, but it’s great. Same stuff you see in crime shows dissolving bodies. Ive used it to clear the hide off deer skulls.

    Does this one not have an integrated spray hose? Bc it’s so easy to clean with this on the fly I dont get it

    you gotta get a job somewhere else. fuck that. not cuz you were asked to clean it….cuz that exist

    dead end

    This is probably very telling of what the rest of that place looks like. I can’t believe how dangerously unacceptable this is. Even if that guy was my boss, there’s no way I’d let him go unchecked. Maybe I’m overreacting by assuming the worst, but my god, that is at least 4 or 5 days of neglect. You have to be a lazy mother fucker to not be able to clean a tilt skillet well

    Some people don’t deserve a tilt skillet

  15. Just_call_me_Neon

    Is there still water in there?! Looks wet.

    Your boss is no chef if he leaves shit like that. Fuckin hack…

  17. That tilt skillet and tile with floor drain looks similar to somewhere I used to work it was an Olympic training center but uh with less mold haha

  18. BadassBokoblinPsycho

    That’s fucking disgusting. wtf dude

  19. Morall_tach

    A local bodyshop can sandblast that for you. It’s the only way to be sure.

    You shouldn’t clean that, you should just walk out.

    That is objectively disgusting, BUT as it is a tilt skillet, it is an easy fix. Heat cure it at high temp (200°c) for at least 10 minutes, and you will kill mold spores. Mold spores die at temperatures over 117°c so you can make this cooking unit safe. That being said, I would never again trust sanitation standards in that kitchen and would look for a new job ASAP.

    He’s not a bad chef for asking you to do it, he’s a bad chef for allowing it to ever happen. Thanks “Chef”

  23. Sckillgan

    Fill it with gas and light it on fire…

    Don’t do that. But damn that is disgusting and disgraceful.

    I am always will to let some things slide for a second, but only a rare sometimes. Looks like that slid for a week.

    Your boss should not be in his job. He deserves fines placed on him and be removed from this field.

    At that point I’d definitely rat them out to the heath inspector
