GREDIL stainless steel deep pot sinks — a pot sink is a specialized tool for large kitchens; without it, washing large pots becomes a time- and energy-consuming problem; choosing the right equipment for this task is a practical solution.
Design of deep pot sinks
GREDIL stainless steel deep pot sinks — deep pot sinks differ from standard sinks in several key features. Depth — the depth of a pot sink is usually 300–450 mm, which is significantly more than a standard 150–200 mm; the greater depth allows large pots to be fully immersed in water for more effective washing. Large size — the width and length of the sink are adapted to larger utensils, allowing pots of 40–60 litres to be accommodated; see GREDIL Stainless Steel Tables with One Sink without Shelf. Frame system — some models have a special frame or leg structure to ensure stability for heavy large pots. Drainage — a larger drain outlet and siphon to match the large water volume for faster water drainage.
When a deep pot sink is needed
GREDIL stainless steel deep pot sinks — washing large utensils is a specific kitchen need that standard equipment cannot replace. Large pots and pans — restaurant kitchens use 20–60 litre pots for cooking stews, soups, pasta and other dishes; these pots do not fit in a standard dishwasher and are too large for a standard sink; see GREDIL Stainless Steel Tables with Two Sinks without Shelf. Gastronomy containers — GN 1/1 or larger gastronomy containers are longer than a standard sink; a deep sink allows them to be immersed. Baking trays and pans — large baking trays are often only cleaned by hand in a sink; a wide deep sink provides this possibility. Institutional canteens — in canteens preparing hundreds of portions a day, the volume of pots is enormous.
Hygiene and HACCP in washing large utensils
GREDIL stainless steel deep pot sinks — washing large utensils has specific hygiene requirements. Manual washing — the largest pots are often washed by hand; it is important to choose the correct washing temperature (min. 45–50°C) and detergent concentration. Rinsing — after washing, pots should be rinsed with clean water (preferably hot water +82°C); access to hot water at the deep sink is important; see GREDIL Stainless Steel Tables with Two Sinks and a Shelf. Regular sink disinfection — a deep sink is in constant contact with food residues; disinfection after each washing session is essential. Stainless steel — a deep sink made of AISI steel is approved for food contact surfaces.
Installation considerations
GREDIL stainless steel deep pot sinks — a deep pot sink requires proper planning in the kitchen. Water connection — both hot and cold water connections are needed; a mixer tap with a longer, flexible spout is more convenient than a fixed one; see GREDIL Budget Stainless Steel Furniture. Drainage — a deep sink holds a large volume of water; the drainage pipe must have a sufficiently large diameter; a siphon with a quick-release function speeds up emptying. Ergonomics — the height of the sink should be chosen considering the height of the staff and the weight of the pots; a sink that is too low makes lifting difficult.
Frequently asked questions
Can a deep pot sink also be used for washing standard utensils? GREDIL stainless steel deep pot sinks — yes; a deep sink is more versatile than a standard one and can also be used to wash regular utensils; however, it is too large for efficient standard utensil washing — water consumption is higher; see GREDIL Stainless Steel Tables with One Sink without Shelf.
Does a GREDIL deep pot sink require appropriate load capacity? GREDIL stainless steel deep pot sinks — yes; a full 40-litre pot weighs approximately 40–50 kg; the sink and its base structure must be designed for this load; the load ratings for GREDIL models are specified in the product description; contact BHS; see GREDIL Stainless Steel Tables with Two Sinks and a Shelf.
