Pasta cooking- How bad can it get?

October 19, 2010 · Don Pfleiderer

Looking up the hood we can see the scrape marks where
someone tried to clean.
And when we look around the corner above the hood,
we can see where the cleanings stopped!!

A facility that sautes pasta uses a national vendor who subcontracts out all their work. There have been many questions in the past on how much grease pasta cooking actually produces. The national vendor requires pictures of all jobs. Please note that this is a difference vendor than previous posts as this one does not really specialize in grease exhaust vent system cleanings, they just do it as another service. I would assume that someone looks at the pictures and goes out to check on jobs. I know the others claim to do this although you can see clearly in earlier posts that they are not looking at hardly anything. Back to the point, take a look at these pictures and it is unbelievable how much grease these pasta saute places can produce. It is obvious by the pictures that this system has not been done in a long time(if ever), even though the hood sticker states it was done approximately a month ago. The worst part is that this is in a multi use tower in a downtown area. Imagine the fire and resulting damages to life and property if this grease ignited? I don't know when it would stop burning!!
