HANDLING OF GLASSWARE

1. Glassware is highly fragile and most delicate and

expensive: hence atmost 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.
