Guide To Essential Restaurant Equipment And Tools

Safety Equipment

Kitchen workers' and customers' health and safety extend well beyond inadvertently serving spoiled food. Home kitchens can be hazardous places, and the danger is multiplied in a hectic restaurant kitchen! Therefore, it is essential to have safety equipment in restaurants, such as first aid kits and fire extinguishers. This equipment needs to be kept up to date. Other pieces of safety equipment every restaurant should have include wet floor signs and slip-proof floor mats. Aprons, oven mitts, and goggles protect cooks who are handling hot pots and pans, and hairnets make sure food does not arrive with unwelcome surprises.
