Omcan Perforated Stainless Steel Flatware Cylinder

The perforations allow water to drain freely after dishwashing, preventing pooling at the base where bacteria can multiply in standing water. Keeping flatware drier between service cycles is a practical food safety measure consistent with Canadian health authority guidance on clean utensil storage and handling.

Yes. Stainless steel construction handles the high temperatures and chemical detergents of commercial warewashers without warping, corroding, or discolouring. The perforations ensure the interior drains and dries properly during the wash cycle, making it practical to run through the rack wash at end of every service for full sanitation.

Place handles facing upward so diners or servers grasp the handle rather than the food-contact portion of the flatware. This is consistent with hygienic dispensing standards outlined by most Canadian health authorities for front-of-house table and counter service settings.

Keep these in mind to maintain hygiene and extend the cylinder's life: • Do not leave it sitting in pooled water; perforations must be able to drain freely onto a rack or tray below. • Do not clean with steel wool or abrasive pads that leave residue in the perforations. • Do not overload to the point where flatware is jammed; handles must face upward for safe dispensing. • Do inspect weld points regularly for cracks that can harbour food debris.

Yes. Front-of-house, it holds flatware on tables and at self-service stations. Back-of-house, it organizes clean flatware on prep shelves or near the dishwasher return, keeping utensils off counter surfaces. For complementary table service items, explore smallwares and bar supplies at Zanduco.

Stainless resists warping from high-temp dishwashers, does not absorb food odours, and maintains a professional appearance through years of daily commercial use. Plastic holders crack, discolour, and develop scratches that harbour bacteria, leading to faster replacement and higher cumulative cost.

Place on a clean surface with a small tray or rack below to catch any drainage. The perforations function best when air can circulate freely around the base.
