Commercial Kitchen Supplies in Toronto & Canada

Commercial kitchen supplies are the small tools a line reaches for a hundred times a shift, from the ladle for soup to the tongs on the grill, and you'll want a full set when opening a new kitchen or replacing what wears out first. Most of this collection comes from Winco, including the One-Piece Stainless Steel Ladle in sizes from 1/2 oz to 16 oz, the Heavy Stainless Steel Utility Tongs in 7" to 16" lengths, and the Deep Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl for prep, while the One-Piece Stainless Steel Portion Controller keeps servings consistent. Browne adds the Browne Colour-Coded Cutting Board, FIFO Innovations makes FIFO Squeeze Bottles for sauce stations, and Bios Professional covers food safety with digital thermometers like the Bios DT131 Digital Waterproof Pocket Thermometer. Whether you're outfitting a café, a catering kitchen, or a full-service restaurant in Toronto, Mississauga, Vaughan, or anywhere else across the GTA and Canada, Phoenix Food Equipment gets your restaurant supply to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from operators buying this kind of equipment.

What kitchen supplies do I need for a restaurant?

Start with the tools that touch food on every shift, then add as your menu grows. Most kitchens need a few sizes of mixing bowls, tongs, ladles, and spoons for prepping and serving, plus a Winco French Whisk for sauces and dressings, a Winco Aluminum Colander With Base & Handle for draining pasta and rinsing produce, and a Winco Stainless Steel Fine Mesh Strainer for stocks and sifting. Add a Winco Stainless Steel Measuring Cup Set With Wire Handle at the prep table for consistent recipes, cutting boards in more than one colour, and a thermometer and timer, like the Bios FS711 Rotary Kitchen Timer, so food comes out safe and on time. Buying these together from one collection keeps a new kitchen's setup simple and makes replacements easy when a favourite tool wears out.

What size ladle do I need?

Ladle size is the volume it holds, so match it to the portion you're serving. A 1/2 oz to 2 oz ladle suits sauces, dressings, and gravies, a 4 oz ladle is a good all-round size for sauces and side portions, and a 6 to 8 oz ladle fills a typical cup or bowl of soup in a single pour. Larger 12 and 16 oz ladles are for scooping from stock pots and steam table pans. The Winco One-Piece Stainless Steel Ladle comes in 12 sizes from 1/2 oz to 16 oz, and the Browne HORIZON One-Piece Stainless Steel Ladle comes in 1, 4, and 6 oz. If you're pouring soups or sauces into narrow containers, the Winco CURV Black One-Piece Dual Spout Ladle has a spout on each side for a cleaner pour. If you're between sizes, pick the ladle that fills a standard serving in one scoop, since that keeps portions consistent from cook to cook.

What color cutting board should I use for meat?

Most kitchens use a colour-coded system so raw foods never share a board. A common HACCP scheme is red for raw meat, yellow for raw poultry, blue for raw fish and seafood, green for fruits and vegetables, and white for dairy and bakery items. Brown, tan, and purple are used differently from kitchen to kitchen, such as for cooked meats or allergen-free prep, so check what your local health inspector expects. The Browne Colour-Coded Cutting Board comes in white, blue, green, red, yellow, brown, and purple in 12" x 18", 15" x 20", and 18" x 24" sizes, and it's NSF listed and dishwasher safe. For a large white board, the Winco White Rectangular Cutting Board measures 18" x 30", and the Epicurean HACCP Natural Cutting Board has colour-coded feet to tell boards apart at a glance. Store them upright in a Winco Cutting Board Rack so they dry properly and stay organized.
