Mediterranean cuisine is widely regarded as one of the most diverse in the world, thanks to the unique flavors & colors. Cuisines from Turkey and Greece to Italy and Morocco, play a part in this thanks to the use of vegetables, fruits, spices & herbs of the region.
Often times, many of these styles are blended into Mediterranean-American eateries. Â These eateries will occasionally incorporate elements from more than one of these regions creating a cohesive experience for guests. However, eateries must be well equipped with the right tools to even pull off such a feat. Is stainless steel involved?
In this article, we’ll give you a checklist of 4 stainless steel products that should be considered for your Mediterranean restaurant. We’ll also offer up some IMC products as examples. Let’s begin.
â˜Â Slicer/Mixer Tables
Bread equipment, slicers & panini grills are an absolute must for any Mediterranean restaurant. Bread is served with almost every dish while meats & sandwiches also play a vital role. With these food items in place, you’ll need slicer/mixer tables to house these pieces of equipment.
IMC offers Models #SMT & #SMTS. SMT is a stainless steel mixer table with a 14-gauge top & an 18-gauge undershelf. The low height (30″) is ideal for operating any machine. SMTS is similar but has the added feature of tray slides, which can hold your bread & pastries. Here’s a look:
 â˜Â Cold Food Counters
Seafood is a signature item in Mediterranean cuisine, so this means a seafood bar is in order. A raw seafood bar requires cold wells so cold food counters are just the ticket. Seafood must be kept at the optimal temperature at all times – this can only be achieved through use of a cold food counter.
IMC offers two cold food counters, Model #CFCR & Model #CRBC.
CFCR includes a fully integrated refrigerated cold pan. The unit can be fitted with 2-6 ice pans, depending on your application. The refrigerated unit keeps cold air pumping into the ice pans for a constant flow.
For large & high traffic seafood bars, we recommend considering Model #CRBC. CRBC is IMC’s premiere cold food counter. The unit is fully equipped with a mechanical refrigeration unit, cold pan & stainless steel panels welded to the framework. The unit is designed for the longest possible storage of cold food for extended periods of times. Here’s a peek:
â˜Â Worktables
Mediterranean cuisine requires several machines including pasta makers, juicers, broilers & graters. However, the signature dish of most Mediterranean cuisines is falafel. Falafel requires a special deep fryer & these machines can be quite cumbersome. Worktables will work nicely for these. Also, as mentioned earlier, Mediterranean cuisine is about colors & presentation so you will need a dedicated area to prepare your dishes. Having a multiple flat top surfaces organized in a sensible way will make serving smooth & quick.
Â
 To help, IMC offers Models #WT, #WTB, & #WT1. Model #WT is IMC’s standard worktable available in 14 or 16 gauge type 300 series stainless steel. Model #WTB is the same as above except it has the addition of a 6″ high backsplash to protect your walls from damage. Model #WT1 features a 1½†backsplash. Here’s a breakdown:Â
â˜Â Accessory Cabinets
Mediterranean cuisine has no shortage of tools. Examples include small spice grinders, mortar & pestle, shuckers & so on. These items need a safe spot to be stored once service has completed. Accessory cabinets are here to serve that purpose.
Â
IMC offers Model #AC is a wall mounted accessory cabinet. AC features (2) adjustable shelves with a stainless steel door & an optional lock box attachment. Here’s a breakdown:
Mediterranean cuisine deserves top notch equipment to complement the outstanding dishes. The use of stainless steel is one way of achieving this thanks to the professional look & feel. To learn more about how IMC can cater to your stainless steel needs, click here.

Chili powder is a spice blend made from dried, ground chili peppers, often combined with other herbs and spices. It typically includes varieties of chili peppers like cayenne, ancho, or chipotle, along with ingredients such as cumin, Garlic Powder, oregano, and paprika. This blend varies in heat intensity depending on the types of chilies used and can range from mild to very hot.
Chili powder is a versatile ingredient used in numerous cuisines worldwide, especially in Mexican, Tex-Mex, Indian, and Thai dishes. It adds depth, flavor, and a distinctive warmth to soups, stews, chili con carne, marinades, and a wide array of savory recipes.
Chilli powder is a red or reddish-yellow, oily and uniform powder, a mixture of red chillies, yellow chillies, chilli seeds and some chilli rods crushed finely, with the inherent spicy aroma of chilli, which stings and sneezes on the nose. Authentic should be pounded out with a stone mortar, or you can directly use dried chillies in the sun or roasted in a pot over a moderate fire and then pounded into powder.
1. Antipyretic and analgesic: Capsicum is pungent and warm, which can lower body temperature through sweating and relieve muscle pain, so it has strong antipyretic and analgesic effects.
2. Preventing cancer: capsaicin, the active ingredient of chilli, is an antioxidant, which can prevent the metabolism of the cells concerned, thus terminating the cancerous process of cell tissues and reducing the incidence of cancer cells.
3. Increase appetite, help digestion: the strong spicy flavour of chilli pepper can stimulate the secretion of saliva and gastric juice, increase appetite, promote intestinal peristalsis, and help digestion.
4. Reduce fat and weight loss: capsaicin contained in chilli peppers can promote fat metabolism and prevent the accumulation of body fat, which is conducive to fat reduction, weight loss and disease prevention.
