Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Deli, a popular lunch spot in Bristol, was constantly replacing chipped and  tired-looking plastic spoons in their salad bar. They needed a more durable and  professional-looking solution that could stand up to constant customer use.

"We were buying new serving spoons every other month. They either cracked or became so stained they looked unhygienic. Switching to these APS spoons has made a massive difference. They look as good today as they did six months ago, and  we haven't had a single one break."

Robert Evans – Owner, The Corner Deli

After switching, the deli has eliminated the need for monthly replacements, improving presentation and  reducing ongoing sundry costs significantly.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Unpack the spoons from the packaging.
  • Give them a thorough wash in warm, soapy water before their first use.
  • Dry completely and  place them in your serving area, ready for action!

Keeping It Going

  • These spoons are generally commercial dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
  • To avoid scratching, use non-abrasive cloths or sponges for manual washing.
  • Avoid using them for scraping baked-on food from pans to preserve the finish.
  • Regularly check for any signs of wear and  tear, and  replace if they become heavily scratched over time.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Serving Utensils

Not sure which utensils are the best fit for your setup? Here are a few things to consider.

Consider the Material

Polycarbonate and  melamine are perfect for cold or warm displays due to their durability and  low heat transfer. For high-heat chafing dishes or cooking, stainless steel is often a better choice.

Match the Length to the Dish

A short spoon in a deep pan is a recipe for messy hands. Ensure the spoon is long enough to rest on the side of the container without sliding in.

Think About Colour

A black polycarbonate kitchen spoon offers a sleek look and  hides stains well. Coloured utensils can be used to 'code' dishes, for example, using green for vegetarian or red for spicy.

Check the Handle

A comfortable, ergonomic handle makes life easier for staff on long shifts and  provides a better experience for customers helping themselves.

Buy in Packs

Purchasing utensils in packs like this one is not only more cost-effective but also ensures you have a consistent look and  immediate replacements on hand during busy periods.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these spoons suitable for use with hot food?

A: Yes, they are suitable for use in hot-holding units like bain-maries and  buffet stations. However, they are not intended for use as cooking utensils on direct heat sources like hobs.

Q: Are they commercial dishwasher safe?

A: Absolutely. They are designed to withstand repeated cycles in a commercial dishwasher, making cleanup quick and  easy.

Q: How long is 230mm in inches?

A: 230mm is approximately 9 inches, a great all-round size for most serving applications.

Q: Do they stain easily from foods like tomato sauce or curry?

A: The black colour is excellent at hiding potential stains, helping to maintain a clean and  professional appearance for longer.

Q: What is the difference between polycarbonate and  melamine?

A: Both are durable, food-safe plastics. Polycarbonate is known for its extreme impact resistance (it's virtually unbreakable), while melamine has a harder, more scratch-resistant surface. This APS spoon is made from a tough melamine compound, offering a great balance of durability and  finish.
