In New York City restaurants, every square inch of the kitchen constitutes valuable real estate that should be utilized wisely. And the best way to maximize space is to practice good storage habits with specific containers earmarked for particular products.
We love enlightening our clients about our favorite manufacturers—and that includes Cambro, a restaurant supplier specializing in commercial food storage containers. But before making a purchase, it’s crucial to know which type of container is appropriate for different foods. Let’s take a closer look at Cambro’s lineup of containers, each one a valuable asset in NYC restaurants.
Why You Should Use Different Containers for Certain Products
Each type of food container is designed for a specific purpose—some are ideal for mixing ingredients, others increase your space usage, while others can withstand a range of temperatures. And while picking and choosing containers based on need is all well and good, it makes more sense to stock up on an array of containers to suit needs as they arise.
