Any chefs here? 13 years 8 months ago #9

chef for 10 years have worked in every station from kp to head chef in restraunts seating 40 to 100 people and some limited function work as well if i can help i will send me any questions you have

a bad planned kitchen is a terror to work in trust me

Any chefs here? 13 years 8 months ago #10

most kitchens have the following

oven almost never to big usually ajustable steam and heat

minimum 6 burner range

a grill (big hotplate or broiler)

a salamander (heat over grill0

heat lamp pass area with docket printer (hand written are a pain)

bains marie (keeps sauces and soups hot) also usually has plate section underneath)

some palces have a aurosham its a oven to keep joints hot before service

microwaves commercial big ones

salad starter frige usually with compartments ontop that take gastranorm containers for garnish and such

raw meat frige and one or a devided one for raw fish depending

somtimes another frige for sides mash, pasta ect

cold room or big ass fridge for storing deleviers

big ass freezer

blast chiller for cooling down stews, stocks ect (health board like these alot

plate dishwasher not for glasses and 2 big wash sinks

raw fish meat prep section, veg prep sink and section

counterops as many as practial with storage beneth

little things depend on menu

my advice is steer clear of anything non stick
heavy black iron pans are my prefernece

a nice griddle palte is a nice accesory

cheapish victorinox swiss knifes with a decient wetstone and steel are a good addition and can be replaced afer a year of heavy use

robocope is a great food processor

soup gun is invaluable

dont buy cheap mandolins if you are brave enough to use one

mouli makes great mash

paint scrapers for the grill for flippin steaks/burgers

lots of tongs, spoons, various ladels, fish slices, slotted spoons, a good big spider, fish pin bone tongs, grater, lots of office knifes, chinois, temp probe, probe wipes, haccap coloured boards, knife magnetic rack, stainless mixing bowls, big and small whisk, stainless mesuring jugs, good scales, ice cream spoon, lots of burn cream and a big first aid kit,

dissolveable labels are great
