    Better yet, they’re sent through dishwashers that heat the water crazy hot. FDA requirements dictate that the surface temperature of utensils in a commercial dishwasher must get up to 160°F. NSF requirements necessitate temps high enough to yield a log5 reduction in bacteria. Because of this, many commercial dishwashers get up to 180°F. They also use both soap and sanitizer. You don’t have to worry about this if the restaurant is up to code.

    Craziest part is they take like, 3 minutes start to finish.
