Bakers’ Trolleys and Racks: Why Stainless Steel and not Plastic?
Blog | August 17th, 2017
Plastic is an amazing material, and it is a good choice for certain equipment, tools, and utensils for use in home kitchens. Although it is cheaper than most materials and is able to resist most kinds of damages and stains, when it comes to bakers’ trolleys and racks plastic isn’t the best option.
For commercial use, bakers’ trolleys and racks made of stainless steel are far more superior than plastic ones and carry a number of advantages, as can be seen below:
1. Stainless steel is non-reactive.
Like glass cooking ware, stainless steel is a non-reactive material. It means that whatever food you place on it, the stainless steel will not react and alter its chemical composition – a subtle change that could greatly affect the appearance or taste of food. Plastic, on the other hand, is reactive to heat and the use of acidic and alkaline ingredients such as tomatoes and lemon juice. Due to its reactive nature, plastic can decrease the quality of your baked goods.
2. It retains heat better.
Stainless steel racks are excellent for baking because they stay hot long after you take them out of the oven. This can be really useful for keeping the hotness and freshness of your baked goods until they are served.
3. Easy to clean.
Stainless steel is non-porous. Oils and juices from baked treats won’t be able to seep through it, giving it a natural resistance to stains. Apart from being easier to clean, this also makes it more sanitary than plastic. You can better prevent cross-contamination by using stainless steel bakers’ trolleys and racks.
4. Durability
Stainless steel is without a doubt more durable than plastic, and it is the most used material in commercial kitchens for that reason alone. It can withstand high temperatures and repeated use without any significant signs of wear and tear. Stainless steel trolleys and racks can take a beating, and if these are maintained well throughout the years, they will literally last you a lifetime!
5. Ideal for storage.
Whether for storing dishes, appliances, or food, stainless steel bakers’ racks are sturdy, strong, and easy to clean, and they come in all types of configurations to meet any room’s needs or space restrictions.
6. Cost-efficient.
When compared to other materials, the durability and functionality of stainless steel bakers’ trolleys and racks makes these a more cost-efficient choice for long-term commercial use.
