Dishers
Especially common in buffets or cafeteria-style foodservice operations, dishers come in a range of standard sizes to help ensure consistent, precise portions of food are served to each guest. From entrees to side dishes, dishers help provide a perfect portion every time.
Dishers have a variety of uses in foodservice, including providing consistent servings to guests in a cafeteria line or measuring precise portions for patients with specific nutritional requirements in healthcare facilities. With standard sizes ranging from a fraction of an ounce to 8 ounces, portion dishers are available to measure any type of food. Many feature colorful plastic handles, enabling a convenient color-coding system to be established so employees can identify different sizes at a glance. Food dishers include a release bar that slides along the interior of the bowl, ensuring easy dispensing of anything from mashed potatoes to ground meat. A portion control disher typically features a thumb trigger to operate the release bar, but some models are operated by a squeeze handle.
