SMALL
EQUIPMENT
Smallwares are the tools that your employees will use
in the kitchen to prepare and cook your dishes. When
ordering smallwares for your new kitchen, make sure
that you purchase the right quantity, so your
employees aren't fighting for the same item. Here's
our list of the essential smallwares for your
commercial kitchen:
Chef Knives
A sharp set of knives are the most
important set of tools in a kitchen. Sharp
chef knives not only make food prep
easier, but they also decrease the risk of
accidents and cuts.
Cutting Boards
Also, if you want to color code your
kitchen to prevent cross-
contamination, you can purchase
multiple colors of cutting boards and
follow HACCP guidelines.
Mixing Bowls
When purchasing mixing bowls, be
sure to get multiple sizes for
different applications.
Pans
There are many different kinds of pans,
such as sauce, saute, braising, and fry.
Consider which types your kitchen
needs and in what quantity before
placing your order.
Pots
Similar to pans, there are multiple
types of pots, such as stock pots,
double boilers, pasta cookers, sauce
pots, and more.
Whisks
Whisks are a useful tool that you can
use to incorporate air into your
ingredients, giving them a light and
fluffy texture. You can also choose
from the different types of whisks for
the one that best suits your needs.
Food Pans
Prepare dishes in the oven in food pans
or use them to hold food in a food
warmer until it's ready to serve. Food
pans are especially essential for caterers
for transporting food and buffets for
serving food on steam tables.
Kitchen Spoons
Stir sauces in the back-of-house area,
serve foods at your buffet, or remove
ingredients from a bowl with kitchen
spoons. These versatile tools should
be on every restaurant equipment list.
Turners
If your restaurant or diner is planning
on using griddles, charbroilers, or
grills, turners are must-have tools.
Choose turners with high-heat
handles to keep your employees'
hands safe.
Tongs
Tongs have a lot of utility, and you
can use them for food prep, plating,
or serving purposes, depending on
your needs.
LARGE
EQUIPMENT
These are the equipment or items that are big
and sometimes fixed. They are heavy and
clumsy to more about easily. Examples include
working tables, cooking ranges, sinks (washing
basins), steamers, boiling pan, fryers, and oven,
microwave oven dishwasher refrigerator and
freezer.
1. Cooking range (3 types)
A cooking range is a stove with room for cooking several
different things at one time.
a.) GAS
IRANGE.
t requires a gas to operate. Also it
has been used around for a long time
and even today because of how the
heat builds up and how they can
control the flame.
b.) ELECTRIC RANGE.
It require an electrical outlet instead
of a gas line and are popular with
homeowners who do not have a gas
line. Electric ranges can be extremely
convenient, especially if you're
looking for an easy-to-clean option.
Many modern electric ranges radiate
heat through a ceramic or glass range
top, which can be easily wiped clean
once cool.
c.) INDUCTION RANGE.
This type of range is using
electromagnetism to heat the
cookware directly. This means that
the range top stays cool the entire
time you're preparing a meal. And
proponents of induction ranges say it
produces a more evenly heated
cooking surface and allows for
precise temperature control, as well.
2. STEAMERS.
Steamers are used primarily to cook
vegetables, seafood, and other foods where
moisture retention is essential to visual
appearance and taste. Food cooked in a
steamer also maintains more of its
nutritional value.
3. BOILING PAN.
Boiling pans are the pans of indirect heating,
it means that the main heating tank of the pan
consists of a double jacket. It's also
recommended for bulk preparation for cooking
stews, soups, pasta, vegetables, jam, sauces and
many other foods. It also an ideal for large
quantity liquid heating & boiling in event and
institutional commercial kitchens, hospitals and
caterers. 3 types of boiling pan are the Electric
boiling pan, Gas boiling pan and Steam boiling
pan.
4. DEEP FAT
FRYERS.

specifically for this kind of cooking and holds
a significant amount of oil, and features a
basket and a lid. Among the foods suitable
for deep frying a chicken, potato croquettes,
Brussels sprouts, cheese sticks, seafood,
churros, onion rings, French fries, etc.
Typically, deep frying foods cook quickly all
sides of the food are cooked simultaneously
as oil has a high rate of heat conduction.
5. WORKING
TABLE.
Unlike the kitchen island, a working
table offers extra counter space for prepping
food and getting work done in the kitchen but
it doesn't focus on also adding storage
space.
6. SINKS.
Also known by other names including sinker,
washbowl, hand basin, wash basin, and simply basin – is a
bowl-shaped plumbing fixture used for washing hands,
dishwashing, and other purposes. Sinks have taps that

to be used for faster rinsing. Stainless steel and Composite
are the most commonly used materials for kitchen sinks.
Composite sinks have the added advantage of coming in
many different colors but also stainless steel is the most
most popular material for modern kitchen sinks. Both
materials are very durable and should last a long time, with
proper care and maintenance.
7. OVEN.
Ovens use energy generation sources,
like the combustion of fuels such as gas
or oil, or electricity. An oven is a chamber
used for heating, baking, or drying a
substance and is most often used for

kitchen device that heats and cooks food by
the use of microwave radiation in the
electromagnetic spectrum in a very quick
time and maintain the nutrients in food.

earlier cooked foods and cooking a different
variety of foods. They are also useful for
rapid heating for slowly prepared cooking
items including hot butter, fats, and
chocolate.
9. DISHWASHER.
A dishwasher is a machine used to
clean dishware, cookware and cutlery
automatically. Unlike manual dishwashing,
which relies heavily on physical scrubbing to
remove soiling, the mechanical dishwasher
cleans by spraying hot water, typically
between 45 and 75 °C (110 and 170 °F), at
the dishes, with lower temperatures used for
delicate items.
10. REFRIGERATOR &
FREEZER.
This equipment is use to keep the food
cold. Cold temperatures help food stay fresh
longer. While reezer can be a great storage
space for bulk items such as meat, frozen
vegetables, and bread, as well as leftovers
such as soup, chili, casseroles, and baked
goods.

(Part 1)
Information on standardized recipes using
abbreviation, equivalent, measurements,
and mathematical operations and
standard substitutes.
STANDARDIZED
RECIPES
All recipes are not created equal. Some recipes have
missing ingredients, faulty seasonings, insufficient or
poor instructions causing more work, and some are
simply not tested.
A standardized recipe is a set of written instructions
used to consistently prepare a known quantity and
quality of food for a specific location. A standardized
recipe will produce a product that is close to identical in
taste and yield every time it is made, no matter who
follows the directions.
Common cooking
abbreviations
Although some recipes spell out measurements, a
lot of cookbooks use abbreviations. Oftentimes, different
books will use different abbreviations, which can cause
confusion when putting together a dish.

ROASTING
➔ Roasting-cooking method that uses dry heat,
whether an open flame, oven, or other heat
source. Roasting usually causes
caramelization or Maillard browning of the
surface of the food, which is considered by
some as a flavor enhancement
➔ Grilling – applying dry heat to the surface of food, by
cooking it on a grill, a grill pan, or griddle.
➔ Rotisserie – meat is skewered on a spit - a long solid
rod used to hold food while it is being cooked over a fire
in a fireplace or over a campfire, or while being roasted
in an oven.
➔ Searing – technique used in grilling, baking, braising,
roasting, sautéing, etc., in which the surface of the food
(usually meat, poultry or fish) is cooked at high
temperature so a caramelized crust forms
HOT SMOKING
Smoking – the process of flavoring, cooking, or
preserving food by exposing it to the smoke
from burning or smoldering plant materials,
most often wood. Hot smoking will cook and
flavor the food, while cold smoking only flavors
the food

a straight edge or spatula. Brown sugar: Pack the sugar into the cup
with the back of the spoon, then level off. It should hold its shape when
inverted from the cup.
Measuring Liquids
➔ Always read the line on a measuring cup at eye level when checking the
volume of liquid in a cup. If using measuring spoons, pour the liquid just to
the top of the spoon without letting it spill over. With the liquid measure on
a level surface, slowly pour the liquid into the cup until it reaches the
desired line.
Measuring Flour
➔ These directions apply to flours being measured and used straight from the
package or canister, without sifting. Lightly spoon flour into a graduated
measuring cup or measuring spoon; never pack flour down or shake or tap
the side of the measuring cup. Level off the dry ingredient with flat side of a
knife.
