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. Doing it well ensures the other chefs have all the necessary ingredients to create their dishes. This work provides valuable insight into the various components of different meals, which is essential learning for future head chefs. 4. Rotating stock Another commis chef duty is controlling and rotating stock. To do this effectively, it's important to know exactly what ingredients are available in the kitchen and their expiration date. Regular stock rotation reduces the chance that food will go to waste and ensures ingredients are in the best condition when they're needed for use. 5. Helping with deliveries Commis chefs help with stock deliveries. This may involve early starts, as you might have to receive deliveries. There's a place for everything in a professional kitchen, so you unpack the stock carefully and put every item where it should be. This task helps you understand how a commercial kitchen operates, what items the kitchen needs on a daily or weekly, and which items are more seasonal. It also provides insight into the business side of the kitchen. Related: 12 tips for starting a new job and making a good impression Commis chefs skills Being a commis chef can be busy and demanding. Here are some skills and traits that can help you succeed: Work ethic: Commis chefs work long hours in a busy, sometimes hectic, environment. Good communicator: When you work as a commis chef, you work as part of a team. It's important that you can receive instructions correctly and communicate with the other chefs and kitchen staff effectively. Calm under pressure: Commis chefs often have several tasks, so it's important to remain calm during high stressed times. Quick learner: Commis chefs are constantly learning, so it helps if you're a quick learner. As you move from section to section, you're exposed to new skills and techniques, and you're expected to pick them up fast. Food lover: When you work as a commis chef, you're surrounded by food all day and you're involved in its preparation. So, it helps if you're a food-lover who's passionate about quality food, ingredients and recipes. Meticulous: Commis chefs measure ingredients and portion sizes and do it precisely. If you have a meticulous nature and pay close attention to detail, a commis chef position could be the ideal role for you.
