In pizza operations, commercial blenders can aid with food prep activities such as making sauces. For eateries with more diverse menus, a blender can perform the functions of a food processor.
Prep Equipment Guides
Since pizza prep tables, or topping tables, come in a range of sizes and capacities, operators need to determine how much space they need to store and prepare ingredients. End users also should decide what size pans they will use as well as whether drawers, shelves or a combination of the two will best serve the operation.
What distinguishes a prep table for pizza production is its raised condiment rail, which situates the topping pans higher than the surface on which the staff member makes the pizza.
Local health codes govern the number, types and sizes of prep sinks commercial kitchens must have. These regulations also address water levels necessary in each sink, backsplash heights and drain board sizes.
Prep tables are known as one of the most neglected pieces of equipment in the kitchen since they are high use and can be difficult to move for cleaning. For example, many ingredients involved with pizza prep, such as flour, sauce and a variety of toppings, these tables get messy.
With the race for operational efficiency and cost savings at its peak, operators need to establish surroundings that include the right equipment in the right place. A worktable represents one item that can be the most effective with proper planning.
