Regulations regarding cleaning of plane water cooking equipment?
Inspired by this question over at MiYodeya, does anyone know of specific practices or regulations regarding the use and cleaning of water urns on planes?
Specific questions would be
- are water urns on planes only used for water?
- are they washed? (or do we saw that they don't need to because they only contain water)?
- are they washed in dedicated washing machines for water urns or with other food containers/dishes?
These might seem weird questions but some Jewish travelers who observe Jewish dietary laws (i.e., eat kosher) will decide whether they can drink coffee on planes based on these answers.
