Along with decorating desserts, food spray guns save time when you've got loads of other jobs to do. This food spray gun is excellent for spraying oil and egg wash when preparing trays and foods for baking. It's quicker to spray egg glaze over your baking trays rather than spending extra time doing it manually. With this spray, you also get a balanced result.
The downward nozzle means it's easy and requires barely any effort to use. The focused spray helps limit the additional amount of mess too.

If you want to save on additional kitchen mess, this company also offers a sprayBOX, which is a folding spray cabinet - so the spray gets on the food (or your baking tray) and not all over the kitchen! It's important to note too that KREA Swiss sprayers are food safe certified, which paint guns are not.

This food spray is perfect for spraying a mixture of chocolate and cocoa butter. It has a special heating unit that heats the chocolate and butter to a temperature of 28c - 35c. Unlike some cheaper food sprays, this one has a nozzle warmer which greatly reduces the chance of chocolate cooling and blocking the nozzle. The hotCHOC has a more focused spray so there's less mess too.
With the combination of melted chocolate and butter, you can achieve a fantastic velvety effect on any dessert.

Reduce accidents when using food spray guns
Kitchens can be frantic a lot of the time but especially so when it is busy. Because of this, things can get very messy and spray guns can cause extra mess on the floor which, in turn, increases the risk of someone slipping and/or suffering an injury at work. It's important that staff are trained to use spray guns correctly to minimise the amount of mess.
Because of how messy it can get, the floor can be a big hazard and so, the correct footwear is a must for any staff working in the kitchen. Wearing slip-resistant shoes at work will greatly reduce the chance of falling in any circumstances. Kitchens already have plenty of slip hazards but chefs can improve their safety at work by wearing the right shoes.
