Wrapping Up Catering:
Six top tips on coping in a busy kitchen, from Prowrap

Food safety is critical, but it can be put under pressure when the kitchen is at its busiest. Prowrap, the specialist supplier of aluminium foil, baking parchment and cling film for the catering market, offers six of the best tips for protecting foods and making life easier during busy periods.

• Using film to cover prepped food is the ideal way to protect it and keep it fresh. If film tends to scrunch on the roll, invest in a heavy-duty dispenser such as the Speedwrap. This will feed film consistently and keep it ‘whole’, throughout the life of the roll. It will also speed up prep, since it’s quicker and more accurate than ‘hand rolling’.
• Baking parchment is making a big comeback, partly because it eliminates the need to grease but also because it offers a very rapid turn-around for batches of baked goods, making it ideal for when there’s a rush.
• Their speed makes commercial microwave ovens a great tool for both cooking and reheating quickly to order. Use cling film to cover the dish in the microwave, to retain moisture and flavour. However, make sure it’s not touching the food.
• Retain the flavour and succulence of cooked meats by wrapping them in aluminium foil to store them. Try to wrap them as quickly as possible after cooking and chilling down, to keep them fresher for longer.
• At busy times, staff will tend to treat things more carelessly. The kitchen’s standard foil and film may be fine for slack periods, but may not be up to the job when time is pressured. If they give problems, upgrade to premium versions, which are thicker and stronger.
• Baking parchment is also an ideal way to store those special cakes and biscuits to keep them fresh and tasty.
