10 Jobs a Commis Chef will be Working On in a Professional Kitchen
The Commis Chef Jobs
The commis chef will be doing the ‘dirty jobs in the professional kitchen. This will give the chef a good grounding, start to understand how a professional kitchen flows and work in a team. These jobs include:
Preparing Potato’s
Potatoes are used daily in professional kitchens and will need to be prepared depending on how they are to be used. Potatoes can be delivered unpeeled or prepped already. If coming in from the field they will need to be peeled and cut into the required size.

Preparing Onion
There is a massive range of onion types out there. These include Spanish onions, red onions and shallots. The commis chef jobs will include peeling and preparing onions. This can be a pain when you have to peel lots of onions as the acid from the onions can cause the eyes to sting and water.
Preparing Spinach
Spinach is used in starter dishes hot or cold and the main causes. The two main varieties used are baby spinach and standard spinach. The standard spinach will need to be well washed and the stalk will need to be picked out.
Preparing Salad
There are a massive amount of salad types. The commis chef jobs will include washing and preparing salad. The salad can be delivered prepped or from the field.
Preparing Vegetables
Vegetables are going to need peeling and cutting to the correct sizes. Always wash the vegetables these include: carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, and beetroot.
Basic Cooking
The commis chef will be cooking, however, it is going to be the basic cooking method. These methods include blanching, which requires the prepared vegetables to be partly cooked in boiling water or steamed and refreshed in ice-cold water.
Cooking ingredients in a fryer can be part of the commis chef's job. Similar to water blanching foods can be blanched in a fryer and used later.
Picking Herbs
There are many herbs to use and these can be used in different ways including adding to sauces, using in stocks or making a dressing. Herbs such as chervil, dill or parsley can be picked. The leaves will need to be picked from the stalks and either chopped for use or left hole to use as a garnish.
Other herbs including rosemary and thyme can be used in stocks for the flavour. These can be added whole to stock and removed further in the process when the stock is passed through a sieve.

Cleaning Fridges
One of the important commis chef jobs is going to be cleaning and organising fridges. The fridge needs to be kept clean at all times and deep cleaned a minimum of once a week. In many cases, the commis chef will be doing a lot of cleaning and should not create an issue if asked to do this.
Yes, there are kitchen porters to do cleaning, however, chefs need to show they are prepared to keep clean and show a professional chef at work. It looks terrible if you refuse to clean and who likes cleaning! But it needs to be done.
