Frequently Asked Questions About Food Preparation Counters

What is a food prep counter?

Designed to facilitate efficient and organised ingredient preparation, a food prep counter typically consists of a durable stainless steel work surface and a refrigerated storage unit. This means perishable food can be stored at optimal temperatures, ensuring freshness prior to preparation.

There are various types of food prep counter, specialised for a wide range of niches and types of food.

What is the difference between sandwich prep tables and pizza prep counters?

While both sandwich prep and pizza prep counters provide refrigerated storage and a convenient (typically stainless steel) workspace, their specific designs cater to the distinct requirements of prepping pizza or prepping sandwiches. Pizza prep counters will often use specific features such as a dough stretcher or dedicated sauce and toppings containers, whereas sandwich prep tables may have a flatter worktop and a larger number of ingredient containers.

What is the difference between a prep counter and a pan chiller?

Prep counters and pan chillers serve distinct functions in a commercial kitchen. These configurations are tailored to specific aspects of preparation and storage.

A prep counter is a versatile workstation designed for the assembly and preparation of various dishes, offering a convenient space for chopping, slicing, and assembling ingredients. They often come with a refrigeration unit underneath, to store perishable food items prior to prepping.

A pan chiller, on the other hand, is specifically designed for cooling and chilling pans of food rapidly. Pan chillers utilise a refrigerated base with pans or trays, which can be filled with hot food to quickly cool down. These chilled pans are ideal for maintaining food safety by rapidly reducing the temperature of cooked dishes before storage, preventing bacterial growth.

How do I clean food prep counters?

Food prep counters are typically made from stainless steel, ensuring that a hygienic and safe kitchen environment is easy with the right steps:

  • Disassemble any removable components and clean separately.
  • Sanitise food prep counters with warm water and soap, avoiding abrasive cleaners.
  • Disinfect periodically using a suitable kitchen disinfectant to kill bacteria and prevent contamination.
  • Always follow regional health and safety regulations and guidelines.

Regular and thorough cleaning practices contribute to a safer and more efficient kitchen, reducing the risk of illnesses and ensuring compliance with hygiene standards.
