• Consider material quality, favouring stainless steel and robust food-safe plastics that withstand heavy commercial use.
• Select HACCP colour coded knives and boards if you need to separate raw and cooked foods for food safety compliance.

• Avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemicals on plastic measuring cups, bowls and boards to prevent scratching and staining.
• Inspect tongs, scissors and peelers for loose joints or damaged springs and replace worn items immediately.
• Sanitise cutting boards and high-contact utensils frequently to maintain hygiene and reduce cross-contamination risks.
