1. Keeping the kitchen clean When you're a commis chef, one of your core duties is to keep the kitchen clean. You tidy up after other chefs and keep your section clean. You focus on maintaining food hygiene and health and safety standards in the kitchen at all times. This reduces the chance of food becoming contaminated, which can lead to food poisoning and sickness among customers and have a devastating impact on the business. It also reduces the risk of slips and falls among the kitchen staff. 2. Preparing and cooking food Another key duty of a commis chef is to prepare and cook the food. While you don't invent recipes, you follow the chef de parties' instructions and perform various food-related tasks. This might involve peeling and dicing vegetables, marinating meats and cooking various components of dishes. It provides a wonderful opportunity to hone your skills, as you learn culinary tips and tricks at the various sections you maintain. Related: 3. Measuring ingredients Commis chefs measure the ingredients required at their sections and often arrive early to do this.
