 Restaurant cooking supplies include:  
  1. Prep items, such as cutting boards, knives and mixing bowls
  2. Baking equipment, such as baking sheets, oven mitts, pans
  3. Pizza making equipment, such as pizza screens and pizza paddles
  4. Smallwares, such as tongs, ladles, soup bowls, storage bins
