Which of the following is NOT a step in the WRSA dishwashing procedure?

The correct answer is based on the specific steps involved in the WRSA (Wash, Rinse, Sanitize, Air dry) dishwashing procedure. This procedure focuses on the essential actions that ensure dishes and kitchenware are properly cleaned and sanitized to eliminate harmful bacteria and pathogens.

The steps include washing the dishes to remove food particles and grease, rinsing them to remove any soap and contaminants, sanitizing to kill any remaining germs, and then allowing them to air dry, which is crucial for effective sanitation since drying surfaces prevent recontamination.

Storing dishes, while important in maintaining cleanliness, is not considered a direct step in the dishwashing process itself. The procedure focuses on ensuring that items are cleaned and sanitized rather than the steps taken after the cleaning process is completed. Therefore, storing dishes falls outside the specific actions defined in the WRSA protocol.
