What are the essential accessories for a professional kitchen?

In a professional kitchen, beyond cooking utensils, certain textile accessories are essential to maintain a clean and safe working environment. Kitchen towels, absorbent and resistant, are perfect for quickly wiping surfaces and utensils, while a kitchen hat such as the chef's hat or the kitchen cap ensures hygiene and compliance with health standards by avoiding food contamination. Cotton gloves allow for impeccable, traceless service.

How to choose a kitchen towel suitable for intensive use?

The professional kitchen towel is an essential accessory in kitchens with intensive use. To choose the right model, you must prioritize robustness and absorption capacity, such as restaurant slats or the service strips, designed to last over time. A good glass wiper professional, designed to withstand frequent washing and wear, will also be your best ally for streak-free glasses. These accessories are very practical to complete a sommelier outfit or wine merchant.

Why wear a neck warmer and a chef's hat in the kitchen?

Wearing a chef's hat (or kitchen cap) is a symbol of authority and cleanliness in the kitchen. The toque is more traditional and often comes with a chef outfit, while the cap is more practical for everyday use. These kitchen hats coupled with a kitchen neck warmer, help to respect hygiene standards by keeping hair away from culinary preparations.

What are the benefits of cotton gloves and slats in professional kitchens?

The cotton gloves are essential in the kitchen or even in the dining room. They offer excellent dexterity for handling food and utensils. However, they do not protect against direct heat. To handle hot dishes or remove dishes from the oven, it is recommended to use oven mitts or suitable sleeves. As for the service strips, they provide a practical solution for quickly cleaning work surfaces or handling hot objects, while the professional kitchen towel ensures constant cleanliness.
