What Can A Home Cook Buy At Restaurant Supply Store?

Jul 18, 2025by Chef Al

A lot of home cooks visited restaurant supply store and they LOVE it since their first visits. Because restaurant supply stores usually sell products at a lower-than-retail price, but you need to make sure items you purchased are "friendly" to your kitchen. Some small appliances may only be used in commercial kitchen. It happened when you were in a restaurant and you found that you love their plates, forks, or even their chairs. You can get all of them from a restaurant supply store!

Kitchen supplies may be a good choice for home cooks, since most of them are also applicable for home kitchens, such as food containers, cookware, tabletop supplies, and chef knives. You may prefer a chef knife to your own knife once you try it. And you may also find a 12-quart pot with a regular pan handle on one end and a helper handle on the other, raw aluminum, 2.5 mm thick, and set you less than 20 bucks. The versatility will surprise you once you start using it regularly. Here is an example for stockpot.

Some people may love baking at home. Do you know you can get everything cheaper at a restaurant supply store than at Target? Check the baking supplies items in the following link: https://gatorchef.com/collections/baking-supplies, and compare them with items you purchased from the local supermarket. You will feel surprised that you can find more supplies and tools in a restaurant supply store than in a grocery store with cheaper prices. With these "armors", it is the first step for you to become a professional baker. Look for a local restaurant supply store and make a visit today, and probably you can get your kitchen a new update!
