Types of commercial kitchen supplies

Opening, weighing and portioning

Commercial can openers, portion scales and receiving scales help staff open bulk cans safely, follow recipes and control food cost on every plate.

Prep tools and equipment accessories

Accessories and add-ons for slicers, mixers and other prep equipment extend what your machines can do and keep them working the way they should.

Storage and organization

Containers, racks and holders keep ingredients labelled and tools within reach, which makes it easier to stay organized and pass inspections.

How to choose commercial kitchen supplies

• Commercial grade: choose tools built for constant use and frequent washing rather than household versions.
• Material and cleaning: stainless steel and food-safe plastics are durable, easy to sanitize and often dishwasher safe.
• Capacity and size: match scale capacity, can opener style and container sizes to the volume you actually prep.
• Compatibility: when buying an accessory for a slicer or mixer, confirm the brand and model it is made for.
• Food safety: colour-coded tools and clearly marked containers help prevent cross-contamination.
