The Tools for a Perfect Catered Brunch

Regardless of the season, there is always large social events. Caterers are always busy with graduation parties, weddings, and other parties. Nothing pairs better with special events than a delicious brunch. At Public Kitchen Supply we have a large selection of products that will help you create the perfect catered brunch for any type of gathering you may be catering or hosting. We will be highlighting some of our favorite brunch and breakfast tools that should be in every caterer’s collection.
Omelet stations are always a hit and should be included in a catered brunch set up. People love customizing their own breakfast and watching it being made in front of their eyes To create an omelet station you will need tools like mixing bowls, measuring cups and whisks. Stainless steel mixing bowls are perfect for omelet stations. Crack your eggs and mixing them up to make them fluffy. They are easy to clean and have a sleek, professional appearance. American Metalcraft’s 2 Quart Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl is heavy duty and perfect for a task like this. The stainless steel composition will not break or scratch easily even when using other utensils within it. Of course, you’ll need a whisk with your mixing bowl. Browne Foodservice’s 12” Stainless Steel Deluxe French Whisk matches American Metalcraft’s Mixing Bowl well, complementing the stainless steel. When setting up an omelet station don’t forget to buy measuring cups. Cambro’s Clear 1 Pint Measuring Cup has metric and standard measurements along the sides for precise measuring. Complete your made-to-order omelet station with food pans. Cambro’s 1/9 size pans are great for holding fresh toppings on display for your customers. Food pans neatly display fresh ingredients while keeping them at a fresh, safe temperature.
Bread is a must at a catered brunch. Customers expect to have bagels, english muffins, and toast along with a variety of other breads. We recommend purchasing the APW Wyott’s 13” Wide Radiant Conveyor Toaster. This toaster will quickly toast bread as it allows two slices of toast to pass at one time in less than 30 seconds. The 13” Wide Radiant Conveyor Toaster has variable speed and temperature control. APW Wyott’s toaster is ideal for serving ten people or more, making it perfect for a catered brunch tool. Have a member of the staff ready to toast your guests' bread at a moments notice. It prevents burns from improper use as well as speeds up the toasting process from a traditional toaster.
Breakfast isn't completed without scrambled eggs, breakfast potatoes and meats. Rely on chafing dishes to keep your meats, hash-browns,  and other brunch favorites warm. Update International’s EZ Stor Folding Chafer is lightweight and travels well because of its foldability. Its stainless steel design is sure to match the rest of your catering equipment providing a professional appearance. Be sure to purchase a chafing dish heater to keep the chafer and food warm for extended periods. Adcraft’s Electric Chafer Heater is a great pairing. The Electric Chafer Heater will evenly distribute heat throughout the entire chafing dish ensuring all of the food within the dish is kept at the proper temperature. Proper temperature is extremely important when catering, make sure your chafing dish and chafing heater are up to code before setting up.
While breakfast foods are expected at a brunch some light lunch foods are too. That's what makes it brunch. Sandwiches and soups are great brunch foods. Consider grilling sandwiches and making paninis, grilled cheese, or other warm sandwiches for your perfect catered lunch. Equipex’s Majestic Panini Grill is a great choice for toasted sandwiches. This Panini Grill is easy to clean and easily controlled. Remember to provide a spatula with your panini grill for your customers to safely and hygenically remove their sandwiches when they are perfectly toasted. To pair a tomato soup with a grilled cheese, invest in an APW Wyott Soup Kettle. Soup kettles make it easy for customers to serve themselves. It’s important to remember simple serving utensils when purchasing pricier items like soup kettles and panini grills.
For salad and dessert bars you can rely on Table Top Food Bars. Cambro supplies an excellent Table Top Food Bar that works well for salad and salad toppings. It is NSF listed and can hold a maximum of three full size pans or a smaller pan configuration. It is made from lightweight polyethylene that will help keep food cool when filled with ice. If you want to make desserts or fruits more personal, consider serving them in Tablecraft’s stylish, Orange Frostone Serving Bowl. The Frostone Serving Bowl is an elegant square ribbed shape, painted orange with a glossy finish. Cambro’s Table Top Food Bar and Tablecraft’s Orange Frostone Serving Bowl work well with many other dishes too. You will find many uses for these versatile products along your catered brunch buffet line.
Finish you scrumptious brunch with a piping hot cup of coffee or tea. Buy Adcraft’s Hot Water Dispenser to dispense hot water immediately. Adcraft’s Hot Water Dispenser is great for setting up with tea bags and hot chocolate mixes. At Public Kitchen Supply you can find manufacturers like Keurig®. In our Keurig® Coffee and Tea category you will find countless Keurig® brewing systems and delicious drink blends to keep your customers refreshed. You will find brands like Green Mountain Coffee®, Starbucks®, Caribou Coffee® and many others. These beverages will allow your customers to have a wide variety of drinks to choose from rather than the standard milk, orange juice, and coffee.
