As any business knows, waste is a thief. This makes weighing ingredients a crucial cost-cutting opportunity, especially for patisseries and bakeries. Weighing and portioning accurately also helps you deliver consistency, as well as keeping tight reigns on your ingredients budget. In preparing food, using silicone spatulas can also help you extract more from your mixing bowls and food containers, to minimise waste and produce further savings.Traditional weighing scales, kitchen timers and thermometers are all vital for the running of any bakery. Making sure that you can guarantee precision from these items means preventing waste from eating into your profits.
