5. Place tomato slices in a clean, sanitized 1/6 size
tomato pan with false bottom.

6. Save end pieces and any slices with green core centers
(stem) showing. These are used for Fajita products.

7. Place pan in prep table. (Additional pans should be
covered and placed in walk-in cooler. Maximum 3
hour total holding time with no longer than 1 hour in
walk-in, no more than 2 hours at prep table.)

Identify pans stored in walk-in with the 1 hour
“remove from walk-in” time.

CLOSE

Daily cleaning of the tomato slicer will keep this piece of
equipment clean and free from build-up. However, if
residual tomato juice is allowed to remain on the tomato
slicer for long periods, a hard white deposit will form on
the cutting blades which becomes very hard to remove and
will dull the blades.
