After each task, it is crucial to clean and sanitize work surfaces, equipment, and utensils. This is because all three can come into contact with food and may harbor harmful bacteria, which can potentially contaminate the food being prepared.

It is important to maintain a high standard of cleanliness to prevent foodborne illnesses and ensure the safety of the food being served.
