Product Description
The Mercer Culinary 6 Piece Chef Plating Kit is a matched set of hand tools designed for precision plating work in professional kitchens. It brings together a saucier spoon with spout, a slotted plating spoon, a solid plating spoon, offset tongs, curved-tip tongs, and straight tongs — covering the most common plating tasks from sauce placement to the positioning of delicate garnishes, micro-greens, and fine herbs. A heavy-duty storage roll is included, keeping the set organised and protected whether stored on the pass or transported between sites.
Each tool is constructed from 18-8 stainless steel with machined finger grips, which give a consistent hold during close, controlled work. In a busy service environment, where pace and consistency matter, tools that behave predictably in hand make a practical difference — particularly during high-covers periods where plating speed and repeatability are important.
This kit suits kitchens where chefs are actively developing or maintaining a plated presentation standard. It is well suited to:
- Sauce quenelles, swooshes, and dot work with the saucier spoon
- Positioning micro-greens, petals, and fine garnishes with the curved-tip tongs
- Lifting and placing proteins or structured elements with the straight and offset tongs
- Consistent repetition across covers during service
Being a lightweight smallwares kit, there are no installation requirements. The roll bag keeps the set compact for storage or transport, which is useful for private dining teams or chefs who work across multiple venues. The stainless steel construction cleans down quickly and withstands regular commercial dishwasher use without degrading.
This set is a practical starting point for kitchens building out their plating toolkit. For teams with more specialist requirements — such as extended tweezers, additional spoon profiles, or larger-format tools — it is worth discussing what else may complement the set. Our team is happy to talk through what works well in practice.

Frequently Asked Questions
- It is practical for both. The stainless steel construction and machined grips make these tools durable enough for regular service use, while the precision of the tongs and spoons suits the kind of controlled plating work associated with à la carte and tasting menu kitchens. Many operators find a set like this becomes a core part of the pass kit rather than something reserved for special occasions.
- Yes. The 18-8 stainless steel construction is suitable for commercial dishwasher use. It is good practice to dry tools promptly after washing to maintain condition, particularly around any joint areas on the tongs.
- For most kitchens, six well-chosen tools will cover the majority of plating tasks. If your operation involves highly specialist techniques — such as extended tweezers for micro-scale work, or additional spoon profiles for specific sauce textures — it may be worth supplementing this set. Our team can advise on what works well based on your menu style and service format.
