Mercer Culinary 6 Piece Chef Plating Kit with Storage Roll

The Mercer Culinary 6 Piece Chef Plating Kit is a matched set of hand tools designed for precision plating in professional kitchens. The set 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 controlled sauce work through to the careful placement of garnishes, micro-greens, and fine herbs. A heavy-duty storage roll is included to keep the set together and protected, whether it lives on the pass or travels between sites.

Each tool is built from 18-8 stainless steel with machined finger grips, which provide a consistent, predictable hold during close, controlled work. That consistency matters during high-covers service, where plating speed and repeatability directly affect the standard that reaches the pass.

The set is well suited to kitchens where chefs are actively building or maintaining a plated presentation standard:

• Sauce placement — quenelles, swooshes, and dot work with the saucier spoon
• Delicate garnish positioning using the curved-tip tongs
• Lifting and placing proteins or structured elements with the straight and offset tongs
• Repeatable results across a full service without tool changes

There are no installation requirements. The stainless steel construction cleans down quickly and holds up to regular commercial dishwasher use without degrading. The roll bag keeps the set compact for storage or transport, which is practical for private dining teams or chefs working across more than one venue.

This is a practical starting point for kitchens building out a plating toolkit. For teams with more specialist needs — extended tweezers, additional spoon profiles, or larger-format tools — it is worth a conversation about what else might complement the set. We are happy to talk through what tends to work well in practice.
