When the heat of a busy service is on, there are two words driving every commercial kitchen: efficiency and consistency. Let either of these slide, and the errors and bottlenecks will soon build up.
Investing in the right tools is the way to go to give your kitchen the best chance of maintaining both. Kitchen must-haves, such as peelers, slicers and dicers, will not only save you time and money, and produce less waste, but they might just save your reputation as well. Here are a few reasons to invest. . .
They’ll Save You Time
The key to any smooth service is all in the prep. And the key to any smooth preparation is the equipment at your disposal. Something like a slicer, for example, will save a chef crucial time because of the efficiency and speed it offers when cutting large amounts of fruit and vegetables.
They’ll Save You Money
Slicers, peelers and dicers come in a range of sizes, from smaller, manually operated pieces to larger, fully automated versions. The costs you’ll save from preparing your own produce, rather than buying already-processed ingredients, will pay for the equipment many times over.
They Guarantee Consistency
There’s nothing customers want more than consistency – if their dish looks completely different to their partner’s even though they’ve ordered the same thing, you might just find it heading back to the kitchen. Efficient equipment like slicers ensures you perfect and consistent cuts every time.
They’re Easy to Use
Whether your kitchen is staffed by veterans or kitchen newcomers, you need to ensure everyone is confident with the equipment. Slicers and dicers make this easy by being incredibly simple and safe to use, with little user training involved. As an added bonus, they’re easy to wash after use, too.
