Rice Cooker

There are so many options on how to make rice. Brown or white rice can be cooked on the stovetop, baked in casserole dish, prepared in the microwave or in a rice cooker. Test which options fits your palate.

Brown rice has natural oils that give it a shelf life of about six months. For longer storage, place it in the refrigerator or freezer. You can put the cooked rice in a shallow container, covered tightly, in the refrigerator for up to a week or frozen in the freezer for up to six months.

It is advisable to add 2 tbsp of water for every cup of rice that you reheat. Cover and heat on the stovetop or in the oven for about 5 minutes or until heated through. If you’re using a Microwave, we suggest to cover the rice and set on high for about 1 minute per each cup of rice or until heated through. If the rice is frozen, then set the Microwave on high for 2 minutes per 1 cup. Fluff with a fork.

My favorite rice cooker is  the Crestware Commercial Rice Pot Cooker, 30/60 Cup Capacity, Extra Heavy Duty Inner Pot and Lid and comes with a Measuring Cup & Spoon. It is an exceptional value.

Some of the common folk refer to the cash trays as tip trays. Whatever works for them. Just remember that using a tip tray would probably be a good means of letting people know you’re interested in getting a cash tip.

Tip Trays

 Whenever you open up your restaurant doors, you have one chance to pull the customer in.  Usually, it’s your glowing smile that does the trick, but if you’re not feeling all that smiley, or you’re getting a lot of business at once, you need to let your restaurant do the talking (and the smiling for you).  With display stands, you can showcase your best work – and give yourself a little break as well as a boost in sales.  There are numerous reasons to start putting these stands up in your store – but here are three that really matter.

Display Stands

1.  You Will Increase Your Sales

 When you use display stands to show off your latest pastry or dish, you’re going to show people what they can expect when they order that dish.  So often, menus don’t have pictures on them, so the stand helps them make a decision based on what they will actually receive, rather than what they think they’re going to get.  That leads to more sales, especially when you showcase higher priced items.  If the customer is going to be spending a lot of money, they should find out what their spending it on, right?  Also, if you’re serving directly from these stands, as you might with pastries, seeing that others have bought up the rest of the pastry might be incentive enough for a customer to try it.

2.  You Will Show Off Your New Items

 Instead of having to explain the new items on your menu, you can show them off.  By attractively arranging your new pastries or other dishes, people get to see what it will look like and they will be able to imagine what it tastes like.  In fact, you might want to include a few samples at the base of the stand so that people can taste the new item too, and then be inspired to order one for themselves.

 3. You Will Protect Your Foods

 If you want the open air approach at a bakery or a café, the display stand helps to protect the foods from germs in the air as well as bugs.  Cover up the goods after they’ve already had a chance to cool from the oven so that you’re not trapping in moisture as well.  If you want to display hot items, you might want to use glass topped chafing dishes instead.  These tend to hold up better and they will keep the food warm and ready to eat.

With display stands, you can start showcasing the delicious tastes of your restaurant.  After all, being put on display should be a positive thing, not a highlight of your flaws.
