bakery are greatly impacted by the quality of essential baking tools and
equipment.
2. Sanitation
Sanitation is not only a major factor in food safety, it directly relates to
the longevity of the equipment like refrigerators and ovens. A cleaner
equipment will operate more reliably for a longer time than a neglected and
messy equipment.
3. Safety
Some kitchen tools and equipment are hazardous or dangerous and it
can do harm when not handled and stored properly.
4. Save energy costs
You should check whether or not your baking equipment is running as
efficiently as it could be. New machinery provides the best performance with
the lowest amount of energy consumption possible. If your oven is old or has
been treated roughly, it will not work as well as it should be working. It will
consume more electricity and put out less heat. Make sure to get your
equipment checked every once in a while to prevent unnecessary costs.

equipment. Many equipment warranties are conditional, based on whether
maintenance instructions were followed correctly. If it’s proven that the
equipment’s problems are due to user error, you could lose warranty
coverage.
3) Perform Preventive Maintenance
Inspect your equipment during the in-depth cleaning sessions
and check on all the visible parts. If you see that some pieces are worn, loose
or need oiling, take care of it right then. Taking care of the little issues will help
prevent larger problems.
4) Stock Up on Spare Parts
It’s not a bad idea to order backup spare parts for your oven or mixer.
Whether it’s a belt or blade, having a supply can help shorten the time your
bakery equipment is idle. You won’t have to wait for the part to arrive — you’ll
just have to call a repair service and hopefully get same-day results.
5) Follow Manufacturer Usage Instructions
Make sure you fully read the operational manual and closely follow the
manufacturer’s guidelines.
B. Pick the Right Tool
Make sure you are using the correct tool for the task at hand.
C. Wear Your Cooking Outfit (Apron and Hairnet)
To hygienically prepare food and prevent accident like burns.
D. Don’t Alter Your Tools
Never remove guards or disable safety devices on tools and equipment.
E. Handle with Care
All tools and equipment used in the kitchen area should be washed, rinsed,
and sanitized after each use to ensure the safety of food served. Make sure to
disassemble removable parts from equipment.
F. Unplug and Disconnect
Don’t leave electric power tools plugged in when not in use.
G. Keep Your Workspace Clean
A cluttered floor can lead to accidental trips or falls which can be extremely
dangerous when working with kitchen tools and equipment.
H. Get Trained Up
11
Make sure you are thoroughly trained on the proper use of the tools required
for the task at hand.
I. Store All Tools and Equipment Properly
Make sure tools and equipment are in their designated places. Put frequently
used items in conveniently accessible locations.
