Chinese Cleaver

Even though it's as boxy as the Western cleaver, the Chinese version is less a cleaver than an oriental chefs knife. It is lighter, thinner. and, with its razor-sharp tapered edge, it slices and dices rather than hacks and hews Its usual dimensions are 8 inches by 3 inches, al though different sizes and shapes are designed for particular purposes. The elongated rectangle has a greater cutting edge that's especially good for mincing the wider curved-edge cleaver, which can be rocked, is superb for chopping, and the popular boxlike cleaver, with its straight edge, excels at slicing and cutting. Wester cleavers are classified according to blade length, but the Chinese are delineated according to weight, with each allotted a specific number. Number 1 cleavers usually weigh l10 ounces and are used primarily for decorative cutting. The recommended Number 2 cleaver generally weighs 12 ounces and is used for mincing, dicing, shredding, and slicing. The Number 3 cleaver, at 20 ounces, is the heaviest and can quarter poultry and be used for hard chopping. Chinese cleavers are available in carbon and stainless steels and recently, in a very fine, single, medium-weight high-carbon stainless steel from some of the German knife makers.

Vegetable Cleaver

The Chinese variant of the European cook's knife, this cleaver looks like a huge razor blade, and in a way, it works like one as well, cutting vegetables in no time with a straightforward downward movement. Its cutting edge is thin and light, and once you become accustomed to it, you can slice, dice, mince and julienne as adeptly as with your cook's knife (experienced users can even rock-chop with it). The wide blade acts as a support for the food being cut and can also be used as a scoop to move vegetables from the chopping board to the pan.

Meat Cleaver

A meat cleaver is easily identifiable because of its thick blade, which only slightly narrows down from the spine to the cutting edge. This edge is beveled at a wide angle, making it durable even if not extremely sharp. It can weigh between 2 to 5 pounds and is perfect for cutting through bones as it provides a lot of force on the downward stroke. If you are looking to split chicken thighs for cracklings or to halve a breast, this knife is the best option. It can also be used to pound veal for scaloppini or beef for carpaccio. The heel can be used to chip apart a frozen block of shrimp, a job which would damage any other knife. Too large to fit into knife blocks and drawer inserts, meat cleavers usually have a hole in the blade where they can be hung up on a hook.

Restaurant Equipment: Essential Tools for a Successful Kitchen

When it comes to running a successful restaurant, having the right equipment is key. From preparing ingredients to storing perishables, reliable and efficient restaurant equipment can make a world of difference in the kitchen. Whether you're opening a new restaurant or looking to upgrade your current setup, here are some essential pieces of equipment to consider

      Refrigeration Units: Proper refrigeration is crucial for keeping ingredients at safe temperatures and reducing waste. Invest in commercial refrigerators and freezers to ensure the freshness and longevity of your ingredients.
      Refrigerated Prep Table: A stainless steel sandwich prep table is a must-have for any deli or restaurant that serves sandwiches. This versatile piece of equipment provides a dedicated workspace for prepping ingredients, keeping them fresh and easily accessible.
      Ovens and Grills: From baking to grilling, ovens and grills are essential for cooking a wide range of dishes. Invest in high-quality equipment that is efficient and durable to meet the demands of a busy kitchen.
      Commercial Dishwashers: Maintaining cleanliness and hygiene is of utmost importance in any restaurant. Commercial dishwashers are designed to handle the high volume of dishes, ensuring they are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.
      Food Storage Containers: To keep ingredients organized and fresh, invest in a variety of food storage containers. Choose containers that are stackable, easy to label, and can withstand the rigors of a busy kitchen.
      Preparation Equipment: Efficiently prepping ingredients is vital to managing a smooth kitchen operation. Consider investing in food processors, slicers, and mixers to expedite the prep process and reduce labor.
      Safety Equipment: Prioritize the safety of your staff and customers by equipping your kitchen with fire suppression systems, fire extinguishers, and first aid kits.
      Ventilation Systems: Proper ventilation is critical for maintaining a comfortable and safe kitchen environment. Install commercial-grade ventilation systems to remove smoke, odors, and excess heat, ensuring a pleasant dining experience.
      Durable Cookware: Invest in high-quality pots, pans, and utensils that can withstand the demands of a commercial kitchen. Durable cookware can ensure even heat distribution and prevent utensils from warping or breaking.
      Point of Sale (POS) System: Streamline your restaurant's ordering process and improve efficiency with a reliable POS system. Choose a system that integrates seamlessly with your other equipment and allows for easy tracking of sales and inventory.

By investing in the right restaurant equipment, you can create a productive and efficient kitchen that meets the demands of your business and satisfies your customers. Ensure that you choose equipment that fits your specific needs, budget, and long-term goals. Good equipment is not only a smart investment but also a key factor in the success of your restaurant.
