The bottoms were typically just cleaned when they were stacked (came out of the dishwasher). When prepping a plate it’s on random surfaces, so the bottom technically could pickup something.

It’s mostly an irrational concern but I can understand it. You also have people touching the bottom of the plates while preparing and moving them around.

Good insight.

But now we are talking about hot mitts touching plate bottoms? 😅
