Inspect the table for any dents, scratches, or signs of corrosion, especially around the edges and welds. Ensure the table is level and stable, and that the legs are securely attached. Check the gauge of the stainless steel; thicker gauges are more durable. Consider the hygiene rating; look for tables with smooth, easily cleanable surfaces.
Catering equipment must comply with relevant UK regulations, including those related to food safety and hygiene. Ensure the stainless steel table is suitable for food preparation and meets hygiene standards. Always check with your local council for specific requirements in your area.
Clean the table regularly with hot, soapy water and a non-abrasive cloth. For stubborn stains, use a stainless steel cleaner. Avoid using bleach or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the surface. Regularly inspect the table for any signs of corrosion and address them promptly to prolong its lifespan.
Consider the available space in your kitchen or catering area. Measure the area where the table will be placed to ensure it fits comfortably. Think about the intended use of the table; for food preparation, a larger, sturdier table may be necessary. Consider tables with undershelves for added storage. Mobile tables with castors are useful for flexible layouts.
Examine the welds and joints to ensure they are strong and smooth. Look for tables with reinforced edges and legs for added stability. Check the weight capacity of the table to ensure it can support the items you will be placing on it. A well-constructed table will be more durable and last longer.
