Creative Ways To Organise Your Kitchen With an Under Bench Dishwasher

In the modern kitchen, space is often a valuable commodity. Regardless of the size of your kitchen, it seems like you'll always need more room for cooking, preparing and storing food. Under bench dishwashers are useful in this situation. They effectively clean your dishes and can be creatively integrated into your kitchen to maximise organisation and space. In this blog, let’s explore inventive ways to use an under bench dishwasher to organise a blog post.

Out of Plain Sight

Under bench dishwashers seamlessly blend into your kitchen cabinetry. You can construct a concealed dishwasher that is only visible when you open the door by adding bespoke cabinet panels that blend in with the rest of your kitchen. This maintains a clean and cohesive look and frees up valuable counter space.

Two-Tiered Drawers

You can add two-tiered drawers above or below your under bench dishwasher to maximise the amount of storage space in your kitchen. You can keep cooking tools, cutlery and utensils in these drawers. With this clever organising solution, everything you need for cleaning up after meals is kept in one convenient location.

Slide-Out Pantry

Create a slide-out pantry next to your under bench dishwasher. You can store your detergent, cleaning supplies and even some of your most used kitchenware, like baking sheets and mixing bowls, in this pantry. It's a fantastic way to have your cooking necessities within easy reach.

Dishware Dividers

Consider adding custom dishware dividers within your under bench dishwasher. These dividers can help you keep your plates, bowls and glassware neatly organised, making unloading a breeze. You can even have adjustable dividers to accommodate different dish sizes.

Trash and Recycling Bins

Integrate trash and recycling receptacles into your under bench dishwasher. This will streamline your clean-up routine. Put them side by side so you can easily dispose of food scraps and recyclables when you load and empty your dishwasher. The FSANZ food businesses FAQ outlines food premises design requirements, including adequate space for food handling, sufficient ventilation, and surfaces that can be effectively cleaned and sanitised.

Prep Station Efficiency

Efficiency is crucial in a busy commercial kitchen. Consider incorporating a dishwasher beneath your prep area. With this arrangement, cooks and other kitchen personnel can quickly clean and sanitise cutting boards, knives and other prep tools without leaving their workstations. Eliminating the need for employees to walk across the kitchen to a centralised dishwashing improves productivity and saves time.

Banquet and Catering Cart Washing Station

Under bench dishwashers can be used to effectively clean and sanitise serving trays and carts in hotels, catering kitchens and event sites. Create a designated washing station outfitted with a slide-in mechanism or conveyor to accommodate these large items. This cuts downtime between events by ensuring that the serving equipment is clean and ready for the next event.
