Types And Uses Of Kitchen Equipment

Overzicht

Walk into any working kitchen, from a bustling buka in Mushin to the stainless counters of a Lekki hotel, and the first thing you notice is the equipment. The heavy cooker against the wall, the humming refrigerator, the blender screaming through a bowl of pepper, the knives and pots, and in the corner the wooden mortar waiting to pound yam. A caterer who knows this equipment, what each piece is made of and what each is for, works faster, safer and cheaper than one who does not.

In this lesson you will learn how kitchen equipment sorts into three clear groups, large or heavy, mechanical and small equipment or utensils, with the Nigerian local implements every home cook already knows. You will study the materials each piece is made from and why, the jobs they do, and the sensible questions a caterer asks, cost, durability, capacity, power and safety, before spending money on any of them.

  2. Identify common kitchen equipment and utensils and their uses

Lesnotitie

A young caterer in Ibadan wins her first big order, small chops and jollof rice for a wedding of three hundred guests. She has the recipes and the confidence, but on the morning of the event she is grinding pepper in a small hand blender meant for a family of five, boiling rice in a pot too small for the crowd, and slicing onions with a blunt table knife. The food is late and her name suffers. Nothing was wrong with her cooking. Everything was wrong with her equipment. Knowing what each piece of kitchen equipment is, what it is made of and what job it is built for is not background knowledge for a caterer. It is the difference between a smooth service and a ruined one.
