Choosing the Right Basting Spoons for Your Business

Hospitality Connect stocks 68 basting spoons for commercial kitchens, bistros and catering operations. The range covers solid, slotted and perforated stainless steel spoons, beechwood and wooden spoons, and measuring pieces, with heat-resistant handles on many models. Chef Inox, Carlisle and Avanti spoons are stocked.

Choose the bowl style by the job. A solid spoon lifts liquid with the food, which is what basting a roast or saucing a portion needs. A slotted or perforated spoon lets liquid drain away, so it suits lifting vegetables out of water or skimming a stock. Handle length should let a cook reach the bottom of a deep pot without leaning over the steam, and wooden spoons stay cool but need drying rather than soaking.

What is a basting spoon used for?

A basting spoon is a long-handled kitchen spoon used to spoon hot fat, stock or sauce back over food as it cooks. Chefs also use it for stirring deep pots, skimming, portioning sauce and moving food between pans.

What is the difference between a solid and a slotted basting spoon?

A solid basting spoon lifts food together with the liquid around it, which is what basting and saucing need. A slotted or perforated spoon lets the liquid drain back into the pan, so it suits lifting vegetables, dumplings or poached items out.

How long should a commercial basting spoon be?

Choose a handle long enough to reach the bottom of your deepest stock pot or bain marie without the cook holding a hand over the steam. Longer spoons suit floor-standing pots, while shorter ones are easier to control on a plating bench.

Are wooden spoons suitable for a commercial kitchen?

Wooden and beechwood spoons stay cool to hold and will not scratch a non-stick or enamel surface, which is why many kitchens keep them for stirring. They should be washed and dried promptly rather than left to soak, as prolonged soaking splits the timber.

What brands of basting spoons does Hospitality Connect stock?

Hospitality Connect stocks 68 basting spoons, with Chef Inox, Carlisle and Avanti among the brands. The range covers solid, slotted and perforated stainless steel spoons as well as wooden spoons, supplied at trade pricing with Australia-wide delivery.
