Commercial Prep Tools
How efficient is your commercial kitchen? Most Sous and Prep Cooks agree that efficiency depends on having the right prep tools on hand for the job. Depending on any restaurant's needs, a variety of slicing, carving and utility knives are necessary. Depending on your establishment's business volume, you will need a variety of can openers - from a crank can opener to an electric can opener. To avoid cross contamination, color coded commercial cutting boards are almost a necessity in a food service establishment. Using different color cutting boards for different food groups ensures that uncooked foods like vegetables are not prepared on the same surface as raw meat. Rapids Wholesale carries commercial cutting boards in different sizes and thickness. Food quality and portion consistency are achieved by using measuring spoons, cups, and commercial portioned dispensers. Indispensable to the well equipped kitchen are a variety of mixing bowls in different sizes, shapes, and made from different materials.
Pizza Bakeware and Supplies
Pizza establishments have some unique supply needs thanks to the high temperature ovens most pizzas are baked in. Commercial pizza pans and peels are designed to withstand the brutal temperatures and deliver a quality cooked pizza in the process. Other supplies needed in a pizza business are dough proofing trays, which can be purchased in bulk to save extra money. Shop for all of your pizza supplies at Rapids Wholesale.
Food Pans
Commercial food pans are found in all areas of food service preparation and service. Used on the prep line in refrigerated and hot tables, for storage in coolers and freezers, and for serving on buffet lines, the commercial food pan is present throughout. All brands of commercial food pans are standard in size throughout the food service industry, but the material (and most certainly the quality) can vary. Rapids Wholesale carries a large selection of food pans for steam tables or refrigerated prep tables from reputable brands you know and trust.
Aprons and Employee Apparel
Commercial restaurant aprons serve a variety of purposes in a food service establishment. In the back of house you find aprons protecting the dishwasher from hot water and messy food particles and keeping the prep cook clean and tidy. In the front of house, server aprons identify employees with a coordinated look, while simultaneously offering the server pockets to store pens, pads, straws and condiment packets. Shop for a variety of commercial apron styles at Rapids.
Cooking Utensils
It would be impossible to prepare or serve food in a restaurant without a large selection of cooking utensils on-hand. Mixing requires whisks and whips, along with rubber spatulas and spoons. Griddle and broiler cooking will need metal spatulas and turners. High heat cooking requires commercial cooking utensils specifically designed for that task. From prep to plate you will need a variety of commercial serving utensils such as tongs and ladles, scoops, spoodles and pie servers. Shop Rapids Wholesale for all your commercial utensil needs.
