HANDLING OF GLASSWARE

HANDLING OF GLASSWARE 

1. Glassware is highly fragile and most delicate and expensive: hence at most care has to be taken while handling glass equipments. 

2. Glasses are normally stored in a glass pantry and should be placed upside down in single rows on paper-lined shelves, to prevent dust settling in them. 

3. Tumblers should not be stacked inside one another as this may result in heavy breakages and accidents. 

4. The appearance of the drink mainly depends on the glass and therefore, the glass should be sparkling clean and attractive in shape and style. 

5. When glassware is machine or hand washed, each individual item must be polished and dried with a glass cloth made of linen, as water leaves stains on the glasses.

 

6. Glasses whether clean or dirty have to be handled by the base or stem, since the finger prints left on the glass necessitates polishing.
