Here's what I do.... I keep some bamboo skewers on the shelf above the open burners.
Our air make up system is notorious for snuffing out the pilots.
Previous line cooks I've employed have turned the burner on and banged a saute pan downhard on the cooktop to ignite the burner, but needless to say, this approach plays **** with the pans as well as everyones nerves on the line. Cheers! |
