In a professional kitchen, agility and quality determine the game. These are the attributes that ensure customer satisfaction so they come back and recommend the restaurant to friends. Whether in a small, medium or large operation, the key element to make this happen is organization, in order to ensure the fluidity of the work. As such, structuring the establishment’s kitchen into workstations is becoming increasingly important.

Workstations, which are compact spaces that concentrate specific equipment for different menu preparations, need modular items that meet the needs of that station. Thus, it is possible for cooking, frying, grilling and other stations to be planned according to the type of operation, also making it easier for the operator, who does not need to cross the kitchen to finish a dish.

For example, for a pasta station, a good arrangement is the stove, the pasta cooker and the steam table. This set of equipment allows for preparing the pasta, keeping the prepared sauces at the ideal temperature for each stage and finishing in a streamlined manner. It is also an excellent alternative for use in the dining room, in spaces that allow customers to customize their own recipes.

Tramontina has a pasta station equipped with a pasta cooker, an electric stove and an electric steam table for sauces, as well as a refrigerated counter, all made of stainless steel. The complete station offers the entire operation in a small physical space, within the operator’s reach, bringing benefits in terms of efficiency and savings.

The 4-burner gas stove in the América line has a hermetic cooking surface and burners with 6 kW of power each. The knobs are reinforced and the trivets are made of corrosion-proofed cast iron. A special flame adapts to the bottom of the sauce pan, optimizing gas consumption.

The pasta cooker, also in the América line, has a graduated flame indication and a safety valve against gas leakage. Apart from pasta, it can be used for cooking rice, grains, vegetables and other foods, with a capacity for 4 or 6 square baskets and 20 liters of water.

Finally, the Electric Steam Table is responsible for keeping sauces and other foods heated to the desired temperature, between 20 °C and 80 °C (68 °F and 176 °F). It is lit by means of a button with temperature control through a reinforced PBT polymer knob. The tank needs only 2 liters of water to operate.
