Winco products are known worldwide for their huge catalog of competitively priced restaurant smallwares, cookware, flatware, and other kitchen basics.  There are certain things every kitchen should have, and Winco carries them all.  Here, I’ve created a Top 10 list of items from Winco you should invite into your kitchen today.

1. Sheet Pans
We’ve noticed that customers really dig our selection of Winco aluminum sheet pans.  It’s probably because they last long, are easy to clean, and don’t break the bank.  Choose from quarter to full-size for whatever best fits your needs.

2.  Cutting Boards
Every kitchen needs them and needs them to last.  Winco provides a basic yet durable white cutting board for everyday tasks, but also provides all the colors of the rainbow so you can eliminate the danger of cross contamination.  Consider storing them in a Winco cutting board rack to maximize storage space and delight the Health Department at the same time.

3.  Dishers, Portion Spoons, and Ladles
Business will thrive when you control your food costs.  Dishers, ladles, and portion spoons from Winco come in various ounce sizes so you can manually serve equal amounts of product to your customers.  Rather than kitchen staff eyeballing and guessing, why not hand them the tools to efficiently and accurately serve your food?  Winco also gives each size a different colored handle so no one gets confused.

4.  Chinois and China Cap Strainers
What is the difference between a chinois and china cap strainer?  It’s all in the gauge of the mesh.  A chinois strainer is much finer in gauge and commonly used to make sauces, soups, and custards where the end result should be silky smooth.  On the other hand, a china cap has larger holes and would commonly be used to remove larger bits, like seeds from a raspberry coulis or chopped herbs from chicken stock.  Winco makes both types of conical strainers and we highly recommend them.  Our customers love how long their Winco strainers last even after years of use.

5.  Steam Pans
For every professional kitchen with a steam table comes the need for stacks and stacks of back-up steam pans.  With Winco, you can afford to buy those extras.  All are made with stainless steel, perforated and non-perforated, and range from eighteenth to full size.

6.  Sheet Pan Racks
Speed rail, bun rack, sheet pan rack…call it what you want it but every kitchen needs one (or 12).  You can easily optimize storage space and mobility with speed rails from Winco.   They’re made of aluminum, which means they’re light and easy to move around.  Find 10 and 20-tier models here.

7.  Cookware
Winco cookware presents a high quality option at a fair price.  Choose from aluminum, carbon steel, cast iron, or stainless steel.  Don’t forget the matching lid!  Other features include non-stick surfaces, heat-proof handles, even heat distribution, and induction-ready materials.

These are great companions for bartenders and expediters garnishing plates or cocktails.  We’ve got a few different sizes to choose from, plus spare inserts for when they go missing.  And they always go missing.

9.  Utility Carts
Especially useful in hotels and schools, a sturdy utility cart is a must.  These carts are lightweight and easy to maneuver, which is great for delivering food.  Winco also makes a trash can and silverware bin that attach to their utility carts (WINUCB3 and WINUCB2).  Think how much faster clearing a banquet room would be with just a few of these carts and attachments?

10.  High Chairs
If you want your restaurant to be family friendly, you have to stock up on high chairs.  Winco makes a great looking wooden high chair in a few different finishes.  These include a safety strap and are (most importantly) very sturdy and safe for young and older toddlers.  They’re also stackable, which is a huge plus when it comes to limited storage space.

With so many great choices from Winco, hopefully I’ve helped you narrow it down a smidge!  There’s a lot to look at, and if you’re looking for any holiday inspiration – check out Winco and other great brands featured in our Holiday Specialty Shop.  Have a jolly time shopping Winco this season!
