A chef can embrace sustainability in the kitchen with many different eco-friendly practices. As a chef, you\u2019re the main star of the kitchen which is where a lot of these different tactics come into play. Thus, if you truly want to make your commercial kitchen sustainable, it\u2019s vital the chef plays part in it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making your commercial kitchen sustainable has a lot of benefits. It can come with financial benefits and also give your establishment a good image in the eyes of customers. So here are some practices for a chef to truly embrace sustainability in a commercial kitchen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ways to Embrace Sustainability in the Kitchen<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Defrosting &#8211; <\/strong>There\u2019s different ways to defrost meat in a commercial kitchen. A more sustainable way to defrost meat is by putting it in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.partstown.com\/refrigeration-parts\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">refrigerator<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for approximately 24 hours. This will reduce wasting water but requires you to plan ahead so it\u2019s defrosted in time for cooking.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Disposing of Waste &#8211;<\/strong> Everything from recyclables, food waste and regular trash will be produced in a commercial kitchen. It\u2019s important a chef remembers to properly dispose of waste and gets everything into the proper bins. This means making sure the trash does get in the trash can and recyclables get in the proper recycling bin. A compost bin can be a great way to make your commercial kitchen more sustainable too, and can help enable you to have your own garden on the property for produce and herbs.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Turning Off Equipment &#8211;<\/strong> You may not always be using different pieces of equipment all the time. Things like stoves or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.partstown.com\/food-preparation-equipment-parts\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">food prep equipment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> doesn\u2019t need to be left running if it isn\u2019t actively in use. When you\u2019re done using something like an electric meat slicer or a juicer be sure to turn it off to reduce power consumption. In Season Product &#8211; Ensuring your produce and meats are coming from a sustainable source is a great way to make your kitchen more eco-friendly. A chef can definitely play a huge role in this when it comes to deciding on the menu. When planning your menu, try to select items that only use in season produce and meats. It\u2019ll also add seasonality to your menu and will make foods exclusive.You can have everything from a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.partstown.com\/about-us\/spring-menu-ideas-for-your-restaurant\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">spring menu<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.partstown.com\/about-us\/fall-restaurant-menu-ideas-and-flavors\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> fall menu<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ways to Embrace Sustainability Outside of the Kitchen<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gardening<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on the property your commercial kitchen is on, you could potentially add your own produce and herb garden. You can always start with something small like just an herb garden to see how well it works for your kitchen. This is a great way to ensure your produce is sustainably sourced since you\u2019re in control of the garden. There are some limitations though since you need to be sure you can have it at your commercial kitchen\u2019s property. You also will need to delegate the work of maintaining that garden to staff. However it can definitely be worth it to ensure you have the freshest produce and herbs in the business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be Proactive<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simply being proactive as a chef in the world of sustainability can go a long way. Doing so is as easy as just staying on top of the new trends or eco-friendly opportunities. Find time in your schedule as a chef to designate to doing research about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.partstown.com\/about-us\/restaurant-sustainability-practices-trends\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">new sustainable trends and practices<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that you can try to incorporate into the commercial kitchen you work in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teach Staff<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the chef it\u2019s important you\u2019re someone the staff looks to for knowledge and insight. So make sure you\u2019re telling them about ways they can take part in practicing sustainability in a commercial kitchen. Be sure they understand the methods your kitchen uses to make it eco-friendly and when you find new trends or opportunities you should share it with your team so they can be aware of it too.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other Sustainability Tips<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using All Produce and Meats<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can be implemented in a few different ways to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.partstown.com\/cm\/resource-center\/guides\/gd2\/how-to-reduce-food-waste-in-restaurants\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">help reduce food waste<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The first is when you find you got what\u2019s called \u201cugly\u201d produce in your shipment. Ugly produce is when it has cosmetic flaws to it but it still is safe to eat and has the same nutritional value. Some kitchens will throw these away and refuse to use them just due to their appearance. This creates unnecessary food waste. By using the \u201cugly\u201d produce you can help ensure nothing is wasted and make your kitchen more sustainable. It\u2019ll also save your kitchen money since you won\u2019t be throwing away product.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another way to do this is by utilizing all the scraps. There\u2019s a number of ways you can utilize that though so it doesn\u2019t go to waste. One way is composting. As mentioned earlier if your facility has composting on site you can make sure your food scraps go into that so it doesn\u2019t end up in a landfill. You can give it another purpose in your dishes too. Here are ways you can save money and be sustainable by using your food scraps:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make vegetable stocks from all your different vegetable scraps.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regrow vegetables with scraps from carrots or onions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create pesto with green scraps like leafy greens and carrot tops.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use leftover meats from getting specific cuts like filet mignon for salads or other dishes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use apple scraps to make your own apple cider vinegar.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create your own croutons with leftover bread crusts.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use your peels from citrus fruits to create infused waters or herb scraps to infuse your olive oils.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Know About Product<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to stay informed about where your produce, meat and other food product is coming from. Keep up with everything from the manufacturer and the farm the food is from. It\u2019s important to know about their own sustainability practices to grow, make and deliver their product. This way you can be informed about your product and if you find their quality or practices aren\u2019t to your standards you can make changes to other providers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Equipment Maintenance<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A commercial kitchen can be filled with all sorts of different equipment. You probably have everything from refrigerators to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.partstown.com\/oven-range-parts\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ovens<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.partstown.com\/dishwashing-equipment-parts\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dishwashers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to fryers. A lot of this equipment needs to be cleaned and given proper preventative maintenance. Doing so will help keep it running as efficiently as possible. This can thus help feed into keeping your commercial kitchen sustainable. When planning out jobs for you and your staff in the kitchen be sure to include <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.partstown.com\/cm\/resource-center\/guides\/gd2\/commercial-kitchen-maintenance-checklist-daily-weekly-monthly\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">routine preventative maintenance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> like cleaning condenser coils or gasket maintenance. Parts Town even has a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCEDEXFtRfdjnDcwArfLqP6A\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">collection of videos on preventative maintenance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you can use to take care of your equipment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create Meatless Options<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plant based meat is often far more sustainable than animal product. It produces less greenhouse gas, uses less water and creates less pollution. Thus having meatless options can be a great way to make your commercial kitchen more sustainable as a chef. It\u2019ll also definitely help your establishments sales since it\u2019ll accommodate some alternative diets such as vegetarians and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.partstown.com\/about-us\/vegan-restaurant-menu-ideas\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vegans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creating a sustainable commercial kitchen is a job for everyone working in it; this includes the chef.
