How Commercial Kitchen Worktops & Preparation Tables Work

Commercial kitchen worktops are deceptively simple but brilliantly effective. The magic lies in their 304-grade stainless steel construction—a food-safe, corrosion-resistant surface that stands up to constant cleaning with commercial sanitizers. Many models feature adjustable feet for uneven floors, while the reinforced framework underneath prevents bowing even when loaded with heavy equipment. Undershelf models offer additional storage, while splashback options prevent wall contamination during busy service. Some units even include drawers or cupboards beneath—perfect for keeping utensils and ingredients close at hand during those manic lunch rushes!

Top Tips for Using Commercial Kitchen Worktops & Preparation Tables

To maintain your worktops in top condition, clean with non-abrasive cleaners daily and avoid leaving acidic foods (like tomatoes or citrus) sitting directly on the surface for extended periods. Use cutting boards rather than cutting directly on the stainless steel to preserve both your knives and the worktop. Consider magnetic knife strips or utensil hooks to maximize working space, and position preparation tables near to refrigeration units to minimize movement during busy service periods.
