Kitchen Hacks Julie Halfpop, RDN, LD Martin Bros. Director of Senior Living Services
W
e all like to find ways of doing things that save time, money and headaches. Considering our busy work environments and limited resources, clever shortcuts are always welcome!
Try one of these kitchen hacks recommended by our Martin Bros. culinary and nutrition professionals! They’re guaranteed to make your day, your week… and quite possibly all your years in food service! 1. Apply pan spray to utensils before measuring sticky foods such as peanut butter, honey and maple syrup. 2. Repurpose your pizza cutter and quickly cut or shred herbs, tortillas, ham, sandwiches, hot dogs, toast crusts and more. 3. Quickly cut cherry tomatoes by placing them in a single layer between two plates. The bottom plate should be upside down. Run a knife between the plates. 4. Dip your knife or your ice cream scoop in hot water. Wipe with a dry towel. Then cut your cake or cheesecake… or scoop out your ice cream. Repeat for each slice or scoop. 5. Invest in plastic squirt bottles to serve salad dressings and dessert sauces as well as to fill condiment cups. 6. Prepare for the week. Cut produce like onions and peppers at one time and divide out to meet your recipe and production needs. 7. Pre-heat baking sheets before baking or roasting to better ensure even browning and speed cooking time. Plus, there is no need to flip with pre-heated sheets! This works well for things like French fries and breaded items.
Have a hack you want to share? Tell us by emailing dish@martinbros.com! We could even share your hack with others! Kitchen hacks are great, aren’t they?! 14

4 Ways to Market Your Food Safety Record Gretchen L Robinson, RDN, LD Martin Bros. Marketing Dietitian
S
o, you’ve had zero citations, no foodborne illnesses… That’s great! But, are you tooting your own horn about it when marketing your business?
Food safety is an important requirement for all foodservice establishments, as they all fall under the rules of local food codes. And a successful food safety program requires a lot of effort and engagement. Make sure you are making that hard work and dedication known! 1. Post certificates to be viewed by your guests. Even though providing safe food is an expectation of every customer, it never hurts to promote the importance that your establishment places on food safety. 2. Promote the score of your latest local inspection on your website. If you are a senior living community, consider posting it in your newsletter, too. 3. Add “ServSafe Certified” or another nationallyrecognized food safety program certification to job titles. This serves as a reminder to your employees of the importance of food safety and makes your customers feel extra safe dining with you. 4. Give out “I Got Caught” Awards – Recruit team members to catch food service staff performing excellent food safety practices and recognize them for it.
