Ice-Cream Makers
Ice-cream is seldom far away from the dessert menu of any restaurant and while it is possible to buy it from a frozen food wholesaler, nothing compares to ice-cream made by chefs in the kitchen. The ingredients will be superior and the flavour is chosen by the chef, not the ice-cream factory.

Cutlery
Almost all cutlery used in foodservice is made from stainless steel, even if it is finally plated with electro-plated nickel silver (EPNS). The finest cutlery is made from almost pure silver, but is rarely used in anything but the highest level of dining because of its cost. A silver knife and fork can cost from £75 upward.
