If you are a seasonal mobile caterer or you only use your hog roaster for serving food at your premises for certain outdoor events during the spring and summer months, chances are you will have had your machine in storage during winter. Like anything that has been hibernating during the cold, dark months, it will need a bit of TLC to make sure it is ready for action. Hog Roast Machine’s equipment experts have put together a few effective cleaning and maintenance steps you can take to get your hog roaster event-ready and raring to go.
Give it a deep clean
After a few months of not being used, your hog roaster will benefit from a bit of a spruce up, even if it was fully cleaned when you put it into storage. You can use metal scourers, wet and dry pads, or scotch pads along with a large dose of elbow grease to get your machine squeaky clean and ready to get back out there.
Consider sanding the panels
This takes a lot more effort, but it is well worth it. Removing and sanding each panel will make your hog roaster look as if it is fresh off the factory floor and it by far the most effective way of giving it a spring clean.
Get your hog roast machine serviced
To ensure all the components are still in great working order, it is advisable to get your machine regularly serviced especially if it hasn’t been used for a while. Here at Hog Roast Machines, we offer comprehensive machine servicing and our expert technicians will carefully examine every nook and cranny so you can feel confident that your machine is in perfect working order before you start using it again.
Give your machine a trial run
Nothing will reassure you that your hog roaster is ready for a busy round of event catering more than firing it up and cooking a hog. It is also a great excuse for you to treat your family, crew or colleagues to some delicious hog roast sandwiches to get them excited about cooking hog roasts for your clients in the coming weeks and months!
