Meet Power Prep Patrick: Everyone’s Favorite Health Nut

Meet Power Prep Patrick. He has a reputation for being a real clean freak and an ardent health nut – always nervous that things aren’t clean enough. That’s because he took over the tough, labor-intensive job of hand washing all the produce in his school.

Before Patrick came along, produce would get washed, but the question would always remain: had it been cleaned enough?

Now things have changed for the better, friends and cafeteria workers say. Everyone can rest easy knowing all the bananas, apples and lettuce in the school cafeteria are getting washed properly and thoroughly, every time – minus all the hassle. When Power Prep Patrick gets going, you can depend on this goody-two-shoes to keep things fresh and orderly.

Power Prep Patrick Stands Up to Dirt and Bacteria                                                                                         

Properly washing fruits and vegetables goes a long way to reducing the threat of foodborne illness.

Power Prep Patrick’s circular washing method, combined with an antimicrobial wash, helps remove more debris and bacteria than washing by hand. With Power Prep Patrick’s support, you can serve more clean fresh fruits and veggies to hungry students quickly and efficiently.

With Power Prep Patrick, you can extend the shelf life of your delicious produce, effectively saving you more on the produce you buy. With an upgrade, Power Prep Patrick can also help you literally “break the ice” to quickly and safely thaw frozen veggies and proteins in no time.

Power Prep Patrick Says “Let’s Dance, Produce”

Power Prep Patrick’s patented gentle, free-flowing wash action rotates produce in a circular motion, keeping the product fully immersed in each bay during washing. He works hard to clean every inch of your produce, striving for perfection in cleanliness and sanitation.
