5 Items You Didn’t Know You Needed In Your Restaurant’s Kitchen
It’s the little things that make it easier to run a kitchen. If you manage a restaurant, you’ve probably already outfitted it with a walk-in, knives, an oven and so on. Here are five things that just make life easier for the restaurant manager.
Allergy-Safe Cutting Boards
San Jamar offers a great line of allergy-safe cutting boards. No matter how well you wipe down a cutting board, if you’re not steam cleaning it after each use, some allergens will be left on the surface. San Jamar’s cutting boards help to prevent that.
Color Coded Kitchen Towels
Buying a big pack of white towels is fine, but keeping them color coded can be handy. Using red for cleaning, white for handling food, blue for drying your hands, it’s just an easy way to prevent cross-contamination.
Cold Paddles
When you need to cool something quick, you need a cold paddle. These are simple plastic paddles that can be filled with ice water so that you can quickly cool soups and sauces for safe fridge storage.
Allergen Saf-T Knife Station
The Allergen Saf-T Knife Station and Saf-T Knife Station Junior from San Jamar are a great solution for secure, sanitary knife storage. Haphazardly placed knives can lead to contamination and injury, this setup just gives you an easy way to keep them out of the way.
Insulated Carriers
A must for larger kitchens. When you don’t want your staff running back and forth from the fridge, an insulated carrier system can help to cart food and ingredients around without leaving them to sit out and get lukewarm.
