The best kitchen utensils for professionals and enthusiasts

A good kitchen needs good utensils. The difference between a fast, clean service and an overwhelming day often comes down to having the right tool to hand. In this catalogue you'll find kitchen utensils selected by brand and performance: what the professionals use in their kitchens and what stands up to long shifts without breaking.

18/10 stainless steel is the leading material in professional utensils for its resistance to rust and acids, its ease of cleaning and its durability. For areas in contact with heat or for food safety, silicone and nylon-type polymers are irreplaceable. And for cookware, anodised aluminium and cast iron still deliver performance that no other material can match.

Kitchen knives

More than 400 models: chef's knives, cook's knives, boning knives, ham knives, pastry knives, santoku, bread knives, filleting knives and fish knives. We work with professional brands such as Arcos, Global, Lacor and Ibili, in stainless steel, carbon steel and ceramic. To complement the set, we also stock polyethylene and professional wood chopping boards.

Mandolines and slicers

Professional mandolines in stainless steel and engineering plastic for even cuts of matchstick potatoes, julienne, brunoise or fine slices. Leading brands: De Buyer, Lacor, Ibili. Also manual meat slicers, cheese cutters and dedicated cutters for potatoes, apples or onions.

Peelers, graters and choppers

Affordable three-way peelers (Westmark, Lacor), professional four-sided graters, dedicated graters for cheese, chocolate or citrus, electric graters and manual choppers. They are essential for fast-paced cooking.

Spatulas, scrapers and turners

Silicone spatulas heat-resistant up to 260 °C, steel palette knives, high-temperature griddle turners, pizza peels, dough scrapers and bench scrapers. Essential in baking and on the hot line.

Professional utensils vs domestic utensils

The big difference between a professional utensil and a domestic one lies in the materials and the thickness. A professional peeler from Westmark or Lacor lasts ten years of daily use; a bargain-shop one lasts a week. A professional silicone spatula withstands 260 °C without warping; cheap ones melt the moment you take your eye off them. If you work in catering or cook every day at home, investing in professional utensils works out cheaper in the long run.

Frequently asked questions about kitchen utensils

What are the essential kitchen utensils?

For a well-equipped basic kitchen: a good 20-22 cm chef's knife, a polyethylene chopping board, a silicone spatula, a professional peeler, a four-sided grater, a fine-mesh sieve, a measuring jug, a set of digital scales, a pair of kitchen tongs and a probe thermometer. This covers 90% of everyday preparations. For catering, add: a mandoline, a blowtorch, a siphon, piping bags and nozzles, and a set of spatulas for different uses.

Which material is best for kitchen utensils?

For utensils that cut or come into contact with raw food, 18/10 stainless steel is the professional standard: it doesn't rust, doesn't transfer flavours and withstands a commercial dishwasher. For utensils that touch non-stick surfaces, food-grade silicone or nylon avoid scratching the coating. Wood (beech, bamboo) is still a good choice for boards and spoons, provided it is kept dry after each use. Food-grade plastic (PP, HDPE) is the budget option for small utensils.

Can kitchen utensils go in the dishwasher?

Most stainless steel, silicone, nylon and professional plastic utensils are dishwasher safe. The exceptions are: good-quality knives (the caustic soda in the dishwasher ruins the edge and wooden handles), wooden utensils (they swell and crack), utensils with glued parts or decorative nickel plating, blowtorches and thermometers (the electronics break) and, in general, any utensil labelled 'hand wash'.

Which kitchen utensils does a professional cook need?

A professional catering set includes, at a minimum: knives (chef's, boning, ham, paring), colour-coded polyethylene boards (HACCP), silicone and griddle turners, blowtorches, a siphon, a mandoline, piping bags and nozzles, hand and coil whisks, long and short tongs, one-piece 18/10 ladles, slotted spoons, sieves, colanders, thermometers and precision scales. All in materials suitable for heavy-duty use and, preferably, a commercial dishwasher.

Where can you buy cheap but good kitchen utensils?

At Hiperchef you'll find professional utensils with direct manufacturer discounts. We work as authorised distributors of the leading Spanish and European brands, which lets us offer competitive prices without sacrificing quality. Keep an eye on the Clearance section and take advantage of seasonal offers to equip your kitchen at the best price.

How do you care for and maintain kitchen utensils?

Washing them immediately after each use prevents food residue from drying on and scratching the surfaces. For stainless steel, drying with a cloth after washing prevents limescale marks. Silicone utensils keep best away from direct sunlight and very hot surfaces. Professional knives are honed with a honing steel after each service and taken to a stone every two or three months. Wooden utensils are oiled with mineral oil every few months to extend their working life.
