No matter if you’re selling farm produce, cooking meals for delivery apps or to sell to your local community, or creating certain tasty foods to sell like kimchi, your kitchen must be licensed for trade. This process can take several months to process, which is why it’s good to make sure you have everything set up in advance.

Renovating a commercial kitchen within your home is often a fantastic place to start. While it may seem as though your regular kitchen will count (and much of it will), certain adjustments have to be made to ensure you can handle the volume of your sales while also keeping up with hygiene requirements.

It’s that last element we hope to talk through in this post. It’s not always clear how to keep your kitchen clean unless you’ve worked in a professional environment, and so we hope to break down that knowledge for you to use right now.

Let’s consider how to renovate a commercial kitchen within your home space:

Invest In Easy-To-Clean Services

From stainless steel tables, you can use to set up a fantastic catering station, to the surface replacement you implement that won’t retain the smell of raw food (for example, kitchen wood can often retain the smell of filleted fish, whereas steel won’t), ensuring you have the best surfaces to work with is key.

Non-Slip Flooring

Commercial kitchens, even in a home, tend to be replete with steam, sometimes spillages, and continual heat throughout the day. This can lead to more-than-usual moisture on the floor, which is why non-slip flooring with appropriate roughage can be so important to use.

Non-slip flooring can also be combined with rubberized soles like Crocs with steel-toe-capped toe sections to ensure you’re able to get around the kitchen safely. Often, hygiene and safety go hand in hand, and this type of floor will remain easy to clean no matter what happens.

Install A Ventilation Hood

If you’re installing a larger ring burner, it’s important to install a large ventilation hood that can handle the excess smoke and steam that your cooking will no doubt give off. This will help you better dispel the moisture which can help prevent condensation, dampness and heat issues, while also preventing a fire more easily.

Just makes you clean the hoods as grease can pile up in them over the years, and of course, be very mindful if standing over oil fryers when removing them, as they can scald anyone unfortunate enough to make contact.

More Refrigeration

Cross-contamination is a massive issue to consider when planning out your professional kitchen, because raw meat and cooked meat should never be stored together if serving it – or at least never on the same shelf.

Different refrigerator units and freezers can help you keep varied ingredients and finished meals apart from one another, while also ensuring heat never compromises the bacterial integrity of the final item. That way, you can track spoilage, rotate stock, and ensure safety over the years.

With this advice, you’re sure to renovate a commercial kitchen in your home and keep it hygienic.
