When you’re starting out in catering, boxes might be the last thing on your mind. But soon enough, the benefit of having sorted out reliable storage solutions becomes evident.

Not only do you have to stack fragile glassware, but transporting trays of food and stacks of plates can be a cumbersome business – especially in large quantities. So what volume of storage boxes could make your work easier?

Euro Containers

These stacking containers are a reliable industry staple and get their name from the ability to stack upon and fill a euro-pallet. These boxes are highly durable and can store and transport almost anything! Caterbox offers Euro Boxes crafted in Germany from highly durable, industry-grade and food-safe Polypropylene and are suitable for dish washing.

If you are considering buying a dishwasher cutlery rack for your catering establishment, there are a number of different choices. A dishwasher cutlery rack is also known as a dishwasher cutlery tray, but of course you can also get dishwasher cutlery baskets as well.

Whether you go for a dishwasher cutlery rack or a basket, the most important thing is how well the container permits the cutlery to be washed and dried. Some people consider that cutlery racks don’t allow for thorough cleaning and report that this is the case. However, how well the rack does or does not clean the utensils will depend on the design of it.

If you use a dishwasher cutlery basket the utensils should always be put into it pointing downwards. This is for reasons of safety as much as anything else because if they point upwards you can cut your hand if are careless when removing them after cleaning. It is also safer from a health point of view because you have germs and bacteria on your hands, so you want to minimise any contact with the part of the utensil which is going to come into contact with the food. It also means that you won’t get any smudges on the shiny knife blades.

Another point about having the handles uppermost is that it is simply easier to grab them by the handles for putting into the cutlery drawer.

In order to obtain maximum cleaning power, you also need to avoid cutlery nesting together. To achieve this, you need to mix the cutlery up in the sections of the basket. If you have all the spoons in one basket, for example, they can slip into one another and not receive the full power of the wash. Nor will they dry properly.  

Some items should never be put into the dishwasher and these include chef’s knives. They are made of high carbon steel and can corrode in the dishwasher. Neither should wooden spoons be put in the dishwasher because the detergent will eat into the wood, and the damp and heat can cause them to warp. Both these items should be washed by hand.

Keeping things tidy around your business is important: you need to be able to find things quickly when you need them, yet at the same time keep them out of the way when you don’t. One of the best ways of storing many items is to use storage containers, and preferably ones that can stack one on top of another so that they can save you a lot of floor space. Even better is to use nest stacking containers which have slightly angled sides so that when they are empty, they can sit one inside another: this saves as much as 75% of floor space. Nest stacking containers are also ideal if you have to carry out a lot of deliveries and collect the empty boxes later. You might have to deliver four van loads when they are full, but you can bring all the empty containers back on one van, saving a lot of time and fuel.

When considering purchasing nest stacking containers, there are some things that you need to think about before rushing out and buying them. It may seem obvious to say this, but you need to ensure that the containers that you buy are fit for purpose – not too big and not too small.

When you are undertaking any sort of outdoor catering you need to consider your storage needs very carefully. You will need to transport quite a number of different items and you don’t want anything to get damaged. In particular, you need outdoor catering storage boxes that can hold glassware and crockery and the best way to transport these is in boxes that have inserts that will hold the items individually so that they don’t rattle around and knock against each other.

You can get outdoor catering storage boxes that have different depths since you may want to carry an assortment of different glasses. Obviously, if you are carrying champagne flutes you will need deeper boxes for these than you would for brandy glasses. Some suppliers will provide different sized insert to accommodate the different widths of your glasses, because a one-pint beer glass is a lot wider than a champagne flute. You could even be transporting the old type beer jug with a handle, and you won’t get very many of those to a box.
