I. Introduction

The tools and equipments before using it must be already wash and sterilize to avoid bacteria from the
tools and equipment.We must sterilize our tools and equipments for food processing to make our foods
healty and to make our tools and equipment clean and no bacteria.After using the materials it must be
sterilize again and wash again.
II. Objectives
At the end of this exercise, students should be able:
To Familiarize with different tools and equipment used in food processing, and
To understand the different functions and uses of the different tools and equipment.
Table 1. Tools and Equipment Used in Food Processing
TOOLS Description/Use Image
Stock Pot A stock pot is traditionally used
to make stock or broth, which
can be the basis for cooking more
complex recipes. It is a wide pot
with a flat bottom, straight sides,
a wide opening to the full
diameter of the pot, two handles
on the sides, and a lid with a
handle on top.

The Strainer may be formed as a
spoon-shaped utensil or a basket-
shaped strainer from various
materials such as metal, nylon or
 cloth
Measuring Cups A measuring cup or measuring
jug is a kitchen utensil used
primarily to measure the volume
of liquid or bulk solid cooking
ingredients such as flour and

away from a hot surface. The
blade of the spatula is wide and
thin.

Tong Tongs are a type of tool used to

grip and lift objects instead of

There are many forms of tongs
adapted to their specific use

Wisk whisk is a cooking utensil which

can be used to blend ingredients

Slotted Spoon slotted spoon is a spoon

Cast Aluminum Scoops Cast Aluminum Scoops Are

Used Foodservice Appliances
For Scooping Ice, Nuts, Flour,

Food Items. Cast Aluminum
Scoops are made of corrosion-
resistant aluminum for long
lasting durability. Flat bottom

pastries, such as pies and
cookies, but they can also be
used for rolling out bread dough
for items such as cinnamon rolls
and pizza dough, and roll out
pasta dough.
Equipment Description/Use Image
Weighing Scale A kitchen device used to measure
the weight of ingredients and
other food. Kitchen scales are
available in balance or spring
models. A balance scale will give
a more accurate reading than a
spring scale. Using a scale will
result in a more accurate
measurement of the ingredients
than by measuring it by volume.
Timer A timer is a specialized type of
clock used for measuring specific
time intervals. Timers can be
categorized into two main types.
A timer which counts upwards
from zero for measuring elapsed
time is often called a stopwatch,
while a device which counts
down from a specified time
interval is more usually called a
timer.

Thermometer A thermometer is a tool that

measures temperature — how hot
or cold something is.
Thermometers are used to see if
you have a fever or tell you how
cold it is outside. Made up of
thermo (heat) and meter
(measuring device), the meaning
of the word thermometer is pretty
straightforward
