i am looking for a roaster in florida who is inspected by the dept. of agriculture :x . my inspector says that my roaster has to be washed, rinsed and sanitized after every batch :( . can i get some feedback on this from others in the business? this seems rather impossible given the type of machinery it is.

Actually Alun..the organic cert people said that if you "purge" your roaster for a certain amount of time(heat drum to 450degrees) then it is ok to switch from organic to non organic...so they say :wink:

I don't think it has anything to do with organic certification, notice the inspector wants to have the roaster washed, rinsed and sanitized after every batch. The inspector is totally off his mind, tell the dude roasting is done in a very high temperature environment, over 300F for well over 5 minutes, not too many cockroaches or rats can survive inside the roaster when you fire that baby off.
