I’ve seen a lot of dirty restaurant equipment. I think this is in the top 5 worst.

That’s one spark away from becoming a giant candle.

Idk why this sub gets recommended to me, i do not work in the food business. I have to ask though; how does one go about cleaning this sort of thing? How often do you need to clean behind fryers and stuff?

Not even worth the pay to risk that. I’d be terrified of getting electrocuted.

Sweet fucking lord that’s insane. I said it on another post about cleaning but I want to say “fuck that” and just wheel a power washer in hook it up to the hot water and save this thing from pulling a Lord Denathor.

That has to smell absolutely horrendous, and it’s likely smelled absolutely horrendous for quite some time.

Take off and nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

What piece of equipment is that and how would you clean that area? I’m guessing this is somewhere it shouldn’t be, probably built to be in places grease collects

A friend and her husband bought a small bar/restaurant – turn key they said. But sight unseen.
I should have taken pictures. We rented a heated powerwasher. We thought the fryer was a solid 3 basket unit. Stuck to the wall through years of not cleaning. But as we power washed we learned that they were 3 separate friers. The whole kitchen was like this. Because of the reputation they closed the bar after 6months.

I’m 99% that’s a McDonalds flattop I worked on a bunch while I was a tech. Honestly that’s average for about a 6 months to a year. Every year with their annual cert/service we would clean all that out, replace seals, switches, ect… All you need is a heat gun( with the right touch) and a plastic putty knife, and some rags. takes about and hour.
Also all that is behind the panel…any kitchen that has their untrained staff open shit up to clean, shouldnt be operating.

I’ll give that to you, and I once bought a restaurant that had been closed for two years after going bust — and the owners just shut off the electricity and left all of the food in everything. Yeah, you still win.

I work for a restaurant equipment company that regularly buys and sells used equipment. When a restaurant sells us used equipment as a trade for NEW equipment, it’s usually ugly but not THAT bad?
When used equipment comes in and is disgusting, I ask where it came from— I won’t eat there. I also won’t publicly shake, but I sure as fuck won’t eat there.
When a restaurant goes out of business, 9 times out of 10? This is what it looks like, although this is extreme. If a restaurant refuses to take care of their own equipment in a meaningful way, they are doomed to fail. If they can’t take care of cleaning their equipment… they sure as fuck aren’t taking care of their EMPLOYEES who are responsible for cleaning that equipment.
