Whether you’re using them for catering, food service, or bulk use, large spice grinders are ideal for businesses that need high-volume grinds. These grinders come in a variety of shapes and sizes, ranging from 500ml bottles all the way up to 1L bottles. For restaurants, canteens, hotels, and other large-scale food service kitchens, they allow seasoning to be ground quickly and easily. These grinders typically use PET bottles, ensuring a durable, tough material that can easily withstand busy kitchens. Flip-top sprinklers are designed to evenly distribute herbs and large particle seasoning, while grinders come in a selection of types, including adjustable.
To ensure that you always choose the right large-sized spice grinders for your needs, we’ve put together a list of things to consider.
Before You Choose Large Spice Grinders…
Choosing the wrong grinder for bulk seasoning can result in loss of quality. As large grinders are used in food service and hospitality environments, this can have a huge impact. Before you choose your spice grinders, here are some of the most important things to keep in mind.
Product
The first thing to consider is your product. Are you producing basic seasonings such as salt and pepper? Does your range include herbs or similar products that don’t need to be ground? It is essential to choose grinders that are designed for your specific product type. Salt and pepper should always have an even grind to avoid over-seasoning. Restaurants and other food service kitchens are busy, meaning that staff expect seasoning to be ground evenly. Too much salt used in food may only be noticed when diners complain. If large volumes of food are affected, this means that every dish will be ruined.
Likewise, herbs and other large-particle seasonings should be able to be used quickly and easily. Sprinklers that are limited or unable to evenly distribute herbs can also lead to over- or under-seasoning. Failing to choose sprinklers that allow products to be dispersed properly can affect the taste of food.
Grinders
In a busy kitchen, seasoning needs to be ground quickly and in large volumes. Choosing grinders that grind consistently is essential. A common mistake is assuming that all grinders are the same. The shape of the grinder can affect the ability to grind at speed. Grinders should be designed with a top that is easy to hold to prevent any slips.
Adjustable grinders allow catering staff to switch between coarse and fine grinds. This means that food can be seasoned while cooking, after cooking or as recipes allow, ensuring perfectly seasoned food.
Quality
It goes without saying that quality should always be your number one priority, whatever size grinders you choose. For large spice grinders, quality is especially important. Choosing a cheap producer is a massive mistake. As large grinders are used in industries that produce large volumes of food, they need to work effectively at all times. They need to be made from high-quality materials such as food-grade, BPA-free PET bottles. They need to be durable in order to handle busy kitchens.
Rather than assuming that larger grinders should be purchased at lower prices, as they are not for standard retail use. Instead, remember that the food service and catering sector requires an extremely high level of quality in food quality. If grinders jam, herbs lose their flavour, and bottles develop cracks, food will be ruined. In the majority of hospitality and catering sectors, food safety protocols need to be adhered to, making it even more essential to choose ISO-certified manufacturers.
