Prep Tables

The Basics

Prep tables hold toppings in a refrigerated cabinet base while the top acts as a work surface when making such menu items as pizza or sandwiches.

Quick Fact

The design of these units allows them to circulate cold air across the bottom of pans. For this reason, operators should be wary of over-loading the storage areas because it could disrupt airflow.

Cleaning and Maintaining

Prep tables are sturdy and seemingly simple pieces of kitchen equipment, but these units need the same care as standard refrigerators. Here are some tips to keep them in service longer.

Did You Know…

Operators commonly use wire garnish racks with pizza prep tables. These slightly elevated racks allow excess toppings to fall through, which keeps the prep area cleaner.

Choosing a Prep Table

Operators can choose from a variety of work surface materials, including stainless steel or a granite finish for front-of-the-house use visible to customers.

By the Way...

Operators should keep an eye out for corrosion caused by acidic sauces and tomatoes.
