How to choose the right Kitchen Gadgets

• Start with your menu and techniques: decide whether you need steaming, smoking, precision service tools or cleaning support first.
• Check capacities and sizes on bamboo steamers so they fit your woks, pans or combi ovens and match your portion volumes.
• For smoking guns, compare power, smoke output and control options to suit anything from light finishing to intense flavour infusion.
• Consider build quality and materials, choosing robust commercial-grade components that withstand daily use in busy kitchens.
• Review ergonomics and storage, ensuring hose reels, lighters and utensils can be mounted or stored safely without cluttering workspaces.
• Match gadgets to your service style, whether front-of-house finishing, open kitchen theatre or back-of-house prep.

Care and maintenance

• Allow bamboo steamers to dry fully between services, storing them in a well-ventilated area to prevent mould and odours.
• Wipe smoking guns after each use, regularly clean filters and follow manufacturer guidance when replacing wood chips and parts.
• Inspect gas lighters frequently, keeping ignition tips clean and replacing units that show signs of damage or unreliable sparking.
• Check hose reels and spray guns for leaks, kinks and worn seals, and schedule routine maintenance to avoid downtime.
• Wash service forks and small utensils in hot, soapy water or a commercial dishwasher, avoiding harsh abrasives that can damage finishes.
• Train staff on safe handling and storage of all gadgets to maintain hygiene standards and prolong equipment life.
