How to care for cutlery correctly: tips to extend its life

by

In the hospitality industry, cutlery is much more than functional utensils: it is an essential part of the customer experience. Their shine, cleanliness and condition convey professionalism, hygiene and attention to detail. Therefore, keeping them in perfect condition is a direct investment in the image of the establishment.

Here is a practical guide with key recommendations to ensure proper cleaning and maintenance of your professional cutlery.

Initial cleaning and after each service

Before the first use, it is important to wash the cutlery to remove any manufacturing or handling residues.
After each service, remove coarse food residues as soon as possible. Leaving residues for too long can cause stains or damage the finish, even on stainless steel.

Correct use of the dishwasher

For an effective wash, place the cutlery in the dishwasher without clumping: a loose arrangement allows the water to reach all surfaces.
Always use a mild detergent and the rinse aid recommended by the manufacturer, respecting the doses indicated. If you notice stains or discolorations, it may be due to an insufficient or excessive amount of rinse aid; adjusting the dosage usually solves the problem.

Water control and rust prevention

Be sure to keep decalcifying salt in the dishwasher, as hard water can leave residues or cause corrosion.
In any case, avoid letting salt enter the rinse cycle: a high concentration can damage the cutlery.
Also, do not mix rusty iron or steel objects with stainless steel cutlery, as they may transfer rust particles. If this happens, the stains can be easily removed with a specific stainless steel care product.

Drying and subsequent handling

For a streak-free finish, the cutlery should be completely dry at the end of the wash cycle.
Ideally, remove the cutlery at the end of the program. If this is not possible, leave the dishwasher door ajar for a few minutes to allow steam to escape and prevent condensation.
If necessary, dry by hand with a soft cloth, especially the knife blades.

What “dishwasher safe” really means

The term “dishwasher safe” indicates that the cutlery can withstand a certain number of wash cycles without damage, but there is no standard for a minimum number of washes. Therefore, even high-quality products require regular care to maintain their appearance and performance over the long term.

In a nutshell

The durability of your cutlery depends on both its quality and the care it receives. By following these recommendations, you will be able to keep your cutlery impeccable, preserve its shine and guarantee a table experience at the height of the best gastronomy.

Professional fryers for your restaurant

by

In the catering universe, from traditional restaurants to food-trucks or catering services, the professional fryer is a central element: it is the key to offer crispy, golden fried food of consistent quality. Properly equipping this type of appliance is essential to ensure smooth service and a satisfying experience for your customers.

Why choose a professional fryer?

A good fryer allows you to cook quickly and accurately, maximizing performance in times of high demand. Moreover, being designed for intensive use, it offers superior durability and complies with the hygiene and safety standards required in a professional environment.

What criteria should be taken into account for the selection?

Power type: electric or gas. Electric fryers are noted for their precise temperature control and ease of installation, while gas fryers offer higher power and are often well suited to high volume services.

Cuve (vat) capacity: depends on the volume you expect to produce. The higher the volume, the higher the capacity and power of the unit must be to maintain an optimum temperature even in intensive service.

“Cold zone”: this technology allows frying residues to be deposited in the lower part of the tank without overcooking, extending the oil’s shelf life and improving the quality of the fried food.

Safety and ergonomics: pay attention to safety systems such as cold wall, safety thermostat, drain valves, stainless steel design, etc.

Type of installation: table-top or cabinet (“chest”) fryer. Table-top fryers are more compact and suitable for small spaces; cabinet fryers offer greater autonomy and production capacity.

Other characteristics to be taken into account

When choosing your professional fryer, don’t hesitate to also look for certain specific features depending on your situation and the results you want to achieve:

The presence of a drain tap: it allows to maintain the fryer quickly and to drain the oil in an instant.

Automatic oil filtering: this method allows frying several foods in a row, such as doughnuts and French fries, to limit energy consumption. The risk of flavors or odors being transferred from one food to another is avoided. It is also a recommended option for healthier cooking.

The choice of a bulb thermostat ensures extremely precise temperature control. Note that the double safety thermostat automatically shuts off in case of insufficient oil level.

In a nutshell

To select the right professional fryer, start by defining the hourly production you expect, whether you will use oil for fresh or frozen frying, whether you prefer electric or gas, and the space available on your cooking line. Then, consider the other factors (capacity, cold zone, ergonomics, safety) to make the smartest choice.

In Pilsa we have a wide selection of professional fryers. For more info and budget, you can contact us here.

How to properly maintain cleanliness in a professional kitchen

by

Respecting hygiene standards is essential in a professional kitchen; it is an integral part of the quality of the dishes served. In addition, a clean kitchen will help you pass health inspections with confidence. To ensure proper cleanliness, it is crucial to use professional-grade cleaning products.

5 steps to keeping your kitchen clean

Disinfect surfaces
During service, work surfaces tend to accumulate grease, which promotes the growth of bacteria. It is therefore necessary to disinfect them regularly. You can use a no-rinse disinfectant spray that allows you to clean both surfaces and utensils efficiently.

Mopping floors
In the intense activity of the kitchen, food and liquids can fall on the floor and leave residues. It is therefore important to clean the floors with a suitable product, for example after every service, using a specific cleaner.

Degrease grills and ovens
Cleaning ovens and other cooking equipment is essential to remove grease deposits that form during cooking, as they can turn into harmful residues. For this task, use appropriate degreasers designed for professional use.

Washing the dishes
This step may seem obvious, but it may not be done correctly and customers may find themselves with poorly washed utensils due to not using the right product. At Pilsa we have dishwashing products adapted to your cleaning style.

Clean the waste bins
Waste bin maintenance is often overlooked, but it is essential to clean them regularly to prevent unpleasant odors and bacteria buildup. This cleaning should always be done outside the kitchen area using disinfectant products.

Beyond these steps, there are other key principles to consider for maintaining a professional kitchen. Avoid using the same cleaning products for stainless steel, wood, and plastic equipment. It is also vital that staff follow hygiene rules such as proper handwashing. Lastly, make sure the kitchen remains free of pests — and if necessary, use insecticides in compliance with safety regulations to prevent contamination.

Kitchen design: an essential element for proper maintenance

To facilitate cleaning and ensure compliance with hygiene standards for professionals, it’s important that the kitchen is well organized. A well-designed kitchen layout and properly selected equipment make maintenance much easier.

It’s advisable to prioritize accessibility to all surfaces and floors, install effective ventilation systems, and use high-quality, easy-to-clean kitchen equipment rather than focusing solely on the aesthetic aspects of the space. This approach helps preserve cleanliness and maintain your kitchen and its equipment in good condition for longer.

Hygiene in a professional kitchen is essential; remember that European regulations govern compliance in this area. Based on these standards, you can develop your own professional cleaning protocol, including cleaning and disinfection routines, as well as the appropriate products and maintenance techniques to use.

How to choose the right glassware for your restaurant

by

Are you planning to open a restaurant and looking for some tips to find the glassware that best fits your establishment?

Choosing the right wine, champagne, water and cocktail glasses can make a big difference. Obviously, you can’t take other establishments as a reference without first considering your specific activity, your budget and the type of clientele, as they probably won’t be the same.

In this article, we explain what aspects you should consider when choosing glasses for each type of wine and other beverages.

The importance of choosing your glasses carefully

Offering good wines on the menu is one thing, but knowing how to showcase them is another. Whatever the wine, it must be appreciated with all the senses: visual, olfactory and, of course, gustatory.

But what are the criteria that should really help you choose your glasses? First of all, you should know that not all establishments have the same needs or the same budget. In addition, you may not have the space to store a large amount of glassware. If you have an inn or a fine dining restaurant, you probably won’t use the same type of glassware.

And, of course, the type of wine and alcohol you offer will have a direct impact on your glass purchase: you will not need the same glasses for a young wine served in a bar as for a fine dining restaurant.

Finally, your glasses must be resistant: breakage is a frequent occurrence in the catering environment. It is good to know that nowadays most manufacturers offer glassware specially designed for professionals.

How to choose the right glasses

✔︎ Opt for glasses that allow a sufficient quantity, but leave enough space to make a slight rotational movement with the wine. This action increases the surface in contact with the air and allows a better perception of the aromas. But do not overdo it: glasses should not be too large and disproportionate to the rest of the service.

✔︎ The rim of the glass should be of quality: you can run your finger lightly along the rim to make sure it is smooth. This part is very important as it is the part that is in contact with the lips.

✔︎ The type of wine on your menu also plays an essential role in the choice of glasses. For example, for red wines, opt for fairly large glasses with a wide goblet. On the other hand, for white wines, it is not necessary for the glasses to be so large, because not so much space is needed for the movement of the wine and the development of aromas.

Some examples of wine glasses

When choosing wine glasses, you will find several references:

✔︎ Bordeaux type glass: tapered shape, with a wide opening, designed to favor the oxygenation of Bordeaux wine, which needs more time than other wines to express itself.

✔︎ Burgundy type glass: more rounded in shape, it concentrates all the aromas and offers a more restricted aeration due to its narrower opening.

✔︎ The champagne glass: it should allow you to enjoy the bubbles. Contrary to what one might think, it should not be too narrow, as champagne is still a wine. Rather than necessarily opting for the traditional glass, a shape that tapers towards the foot and has a slight bulge is recommended.

And for cocktails?

There is a wide variety of glasses and cocktail glasses that should be adapted to your offer. For cocktails with a high alcohol content, it is recommended to prioritize small glasses, while for milder cocktails you can choose larger glasses.

Among the cocktail glasses you will find: shot glasses for pure liquors, Martini glasses for cocktails with ice, Old Fashioned or Rocks glasses, designed more for whiskey.

And don’t forget that the transparency of a glass makes all the difference: it allows you to appreciate the color of the drink or the mix of shades of a cocktail, inviting you to taste and enjoy the pleasure of drinking.

Home and hospital meal delivery: professional solutions for safe and efficient mass catering

by

Meal delivery in nursing homes and hospitals is an essential element of mass catering. It is not just a matter of delivering prepared meals: it is a real care service, focused on the well-being and health of residents and patients.

In medical and social establishments, the quality of the food, its temperature, presentation and ease of distribution play a determining role in daily satisfaction.

At pilsa.com we support professionals in the catering industry by offering reliable and ergonomic equipment adapted to the constraints of meal delivery and distribution in the medical and social sector.

The importance of meals in the daily life of residents

Whether in nursing homes or in hospitals, meals are not just a time to eat: they are a key moment of the day, a time of conviviality and social connection. For dependent elderly people, catering plays a key role in maintaining their appetite, combating malnutrition and preserving their autonomy.

Meals are often the central moment of the day in nursing homes: they structure time, encourage interaction and directly influence quality of life.

A well-presented dish, served at the right temperature and in impeccable hygienic conditions, contributes directly to the satisfaction and comfort of the residents.

Specific requirements for the delivery of meals in a medical environment

Meal service covers the entire process, from preparation in the kitchen to delivery of the tray to the patient or resident. It meets strict requirements:

✔︎ Maintain the temperature of hot and cold dishes.

✔︎ Compliance with hygiene and traceability standards (HACCP).

✔︎ Safety of staff and residents.

✔︎ Smooth and fast service.

In this context, the choice of equipment (trolleys, trays, lids, thermal systems or isothermal accessories) plays a central role in the quality of the service provided.

Essential equipment for efficient meal delivery

The food distribution cart

Central element of the transport, the trolley ensures the distribution of meals in aisles, floors or rooms. It must combine robustness, maneuverability and temperature maintenance; optimizing each stage of service:

✔︎ Insulated trolleys to keep meals hot and cold.

✔︎ Thermo-controlled trolleys that allow meals to be heated just before distribution.

✔︎ Multi-tray trolleys for simultaneous service of several patients.

✔︎ Stainless steel trolleys for perfect hygiene and maximum durability.

This professional equipment guarantees controlled temperature, time savings for the personnel and better perceived quality for the final beneficiary.

Food trays and accessories

The meal tray is the direct interface between the service and the resident. It must be ergonomic, stable and easy to handle even with transport limitations:

✔︎ Compartmentalized trays to differentiate the different dishes.

✔︎ Models compatible with rethermalization systems.

✔︎ Non-slip trays to reduce accidents.

✔︎ Matching lids, bowls and cups for even distribution.

This equipment allows for smooth and safe distribution, while enhancing the presentation of meals.

Re-thermalization: guaranteeing the ideal temperature

Re-thermalization is an essential technology in hospital catering. It allows food to be kept at the right temperature for reliable service.

This process ensures:

✔︎ The preservation of flavors and textures.

✔︎ A homogeneous distribution without loss of quality.

Pilsa offers a selection of tableware designed for thermal maintenance in order to provide accurate and reliable service.

Best practices for optimal service

For an efficient service, each establishment must rely on a rigorous organization and adapted equipment. Here are some fundamental best practices:

✔︎ Plan the service: prepare the trolleys according to the number of meals and specific diets.

✔︎ Monitor temperature before, during and after service to ensure HACCP compliance.

✔︎ Ensure traceability: labels and tracking sheets are indispensable for efficient quality control.

✔︎ Train personnel in the use of equipment, hygiene and handling.

✔︎ Regularly clean and disinfect trolleys, trays and utensils.

A professional and controlled catering service with Pilsa

In health and social care facilities, food service is not just a logistical operation: it is a key moment in the day of residents and patients. A well-presented dish, served at the right temperature and in strict hygienic conditions, contributes directly to their comfort, health and enjoyment of eating.

Thanks to its professional solutions, Pilsa helps staff meet this challenge every day; offering reliable, ergonomic and durable equipment designed for the demands of food service in nursing homes and hospitals.

Tableware that embraces Autumn: trends and featured collections

by

As autumn arrives with its warm tones, natural textures, and cozy atmosphere, our table can also adapt to the seasonal mood. Choosing the right tableware for this time of year goes beyond appearance: it influences the dining experience, the way each dish stands out, and the overall harmony of the table.

Keys to choosing the perfect autumn tableware

Before selecting a specific set, it’s worth considering which qualities best evoke that autumnal feeling:

Warm and neutral color palette

Shades like beige, soft terracotta, ochre, light browns, off-white, and warm grey highlight the food while reflecting the essence of the season without competing visually.

Subtle textures and matte or semi-matte finishes

Lightly textured surfaces, soft glazes, and gentle relief details add tactile depth and visual interest without distraction.

Organic shapes and smooth edges

Avoid overly geometric designs and opt for rounded or slightly irregular edges that bring visual softness.

Versatility for various dishes

Good autumn tableware should also be practical: pieces that are microwave and dishwasher safe, and suitable for professional use if needed.

Compatibility with decorative elements

Make sure your pieces pair beautifully with centerpieces like dry branches, pinecones, or autumn leaves, and with natural table linens such as linen or jute.

Perfect pairings for an inspiring autumn table

The magic of an autumn table doesn’t just lie in the tableware you choose, but in how you combine it. Playing with shapes, colors, and textures allows you to create cozy settings that invite people to savor every bite. Below are some ideas for mixing these pieces to give your table a unique, seasonal charm.

Textiles and accessories

Use linen tablecloths or runners in sand, soft mustard, or muted green tones. Add woven chargers or pieces made of natural fibers, raw cotton or jute napkins, and centerpieces made with dry leaves, eucalyptus branches, or painted oak twigs.

Contrast with seasonal foods

Use ingredients like pumpkins, mushrooms, beets, or homemade jams to create beautiful color contrasts on neutral, light-toned plates.

Warm lighting

Amber candles or soft lighting enhance the porcelain’s texture. Warm reflections keep neutral tones from feeling too “cold.”

Final tips for choosing and using tableware in autumn

Beyond design and inspiration, a few practical details can make all the difference when choosing and using tableware in autumn. From durability to how it integrates with your décor, these tips will help you make the most of every piece.

Keep a cohesive look by range or material

Even if you mix different collections, ensure that the porcelain type, thickness, and texture complement each other so your table feels balanced.

Avoid overcrowding

In autumn, simplicity conveys elegance. Let your table “breathe”: leave enough space between pieces, centerpieces, and décor.

Plan by color layers

Neutral tableware allows for subtle touches of color: rust-toned napkins, soft golden accents, or elements in copper or aged wood.

Our recommendations

Palma range by Accolade

Its embossed brown exterior adds tactile and visual appeal. The glossy glaze gives it a natural, authentic touch that enhances the colors and textures of your dishes while maintaining a clean, sophisticated look.

Savanna range by Accolade

Its natural beige tone is perfect for autumn, adding warmth without darkening the table. Ideal for serving appetizers, starters, or light dishes.

Sakura range by Pioli

While “Sakura” evokes the cherry blossom and springtime, its simplicity and purity make it incredibly versatile. Combined with warm autumn tones — terracotta napkins or rustic linens — it creates a refined, airy feel.

Harvest Mediterranean Terracotta range by Dudson

Perfect for creating a more eclectic style. Hand-finished with a distinctive rim, this rustic Mediterranean design pairs beautifully with other colors inspired by the season.
