Failure to clean and maintain food processors will lead to food buildup under the blade and bowl. This causes an overworked and overheated motor — and a shorter service life.
Prep Equipment Guides
Hot and cold food wells can be used in either the back or front of the house in cafeteria, buffet and catering applications. While countertop units have an outer shell and are portable, built-in units are fabricated into counters.
Aside from institutional settings, operators typically use food processors for small batches. When choosing a food processor for prep areas, start by determining production needs. Consider prep type, volume and capacity.
Pizza prep tables are sturdy and seemingly simple pieces of kitchen equipment. These units need the same care as standard refrigerators and should not be abused by kitchen staffers.
For added speed and efficiency, operators use food processors for numerous prep tasks in the back of the house.
Slicers are used for meats, cheeses and veggies across all sorts of operations. While they seem simple to operate, the spinning blade represents a safety risk, and they must be well-maintained to work effectively long term.
