I use them and I like them. Like any distributor, it depends much on the sales rep you get. Mine is always interested in helping me get where I want to go. Lot’s of samples–I just have to tell him what I’m interested in.

Hello all, I’m trying to find out if there’s some product or technique that could be used to help clean the grout in my shop. We have terra cotta tile with white (!!!) grout in the kitchen and the dining area. The shop is about 5 years old (I’ve had it for almost 2 years). It’s holding up very...

I am very lucky to live 5 minutes from RD. I pick up produce once or twice a week there. They are also nicely priced for many paper goods like napkins, straws, styro cups/plates etc., plastic containers for salads and the like.

Don’t play your jedi mind tricks on me!

Thank you Tom. You have been a great help and continue to be in my operation. I appreciate it.

Once we had flour that came with brown specks in it. It turned out it just wasn’t milled down as much as usual. Made the dough look pretty funky but it tasted fine. Didn’t affect the rise of the dough though.

Just one cookie, but it’s a big one! I may need a bigger oven. Actually, I have a pretty small hobart. We make 30 pounds of pizza dough at a time. I figured I could make a pretty large batch of cookie dough and then ball it up, freeze it and use it as I need it. Right now we go through about 20...

Ok, this may be a dumb question but I’ve never worked in a bakery … I have a planetary hobart I mix my pizza dough in. I’d like to make cookie dough in it too. Can I use the dough hook that’s used for pizza dough or should I buy a different one for making cookie dough? If so, what kind. Thank...

Thanks for the links Brad. Those will be helpful moving ahead.

Has anyone else seen a sharp increase in shredded mozza prices? My cheese went up to $1.95/lb. this past week from about $1.83 last week from about $1.70 a month ago. Something strange is going on here, methinks.

Stanislaus has a pasta sauce called “Al Dente” which is pretty good for pasta dishes. You could add a Burke crumble to make it meat sauce. I might try this myself!

Check craigslist and any business resellers that may operate in your area.

I don’t have a filter yet but I have been considering getting one. We also get quite the build up of lime in our ice machine. My concern was whether it would change the taste of my dough as I was going to filter all the water coming into the shop. Our water tastes great. Just filtering the soda...

Excellent George. Thank you very much!

I use a Lincoln 1301 oven that wasn’t keeping up with our lunch rush, so we needed to add one. I picked up a used 1302 which stacks nicely on the 1301. The only problem I have is the conveyor goes the wrong way. Imagine my surprise! Does anyone know how to reverse the conveyor direction?

I’ve used brinkster.com for about 10 years now for various hobbies and endeavors including my shop’s site. I’ve been very happy with them. If you are into Microsoft’s technology–they allow ASP.NET which some developers prefer.

I would like to see the list too! [email protected]

I think most distributers carry the bakable trays. I’ve gotten them from Roma and Reinhart but I know others carry them. Restaurant Depot here in the twin cities does not carry them though.

I don’t have an answer to your post but I can relate. The switch on our Sommerset sheeter gave out too. As it was stuck in the “on” position, we just plugged it into a power strip with a switch. I really should get it fixed though. Where did you pick up the switch and how much did it set you back?

Stanislaus has al Dente! pasta sauce you could use as a starter. It is quite good. Also Land o Lakes makes a premium alfredo pasta sauce that is also very good. You could add beef, chicken or sausage to those and have a delicious sauce I would think.
