These new larger sizes make for convenient handling and easy storage in tighter spaces. Each container features a resealable cap that twists on/off to maintain freshness.

Features & Benefits ⬇ PDF


KeepFresh™

KeepFresh™, a patented, all-natural, culinary technique to retain vital moisture. This natural moisture contains only the respective fish protein, water, and salt. The KeepFresh™ process involves marinating the fish with its own protein, inside and out, to lock in natural juices prior to flash freezing. This protects the fish throughout the freezing, storage, and cooking processes. Enhancing the natural moisture provides an added “forgiveness” during the cooking process that mitigates the effects of overcooking and hold times.

  • Protects the fish from the effects of dehydration in frozen storage
  • Promotes “forgiveness” during the cooking process and hold times
  • Provides a premium eating experience

Foodservice Hacks: 3-Minute Makeshift Smoker https://dennisfoodservice.com/3-minute-makeshift-smoker/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=3-minute-makeshift-smoker Thu, 09 Jan 2020 23:01:45 +0000 https://dennisfoodservice.com/?p=19905 #KitchenHacks

If you want to add rich smokey flavor to your dishes – here’s an easy way to create a makeshift smoker in just a few minutes. Smoke your own meats with supplies you probably already have on hand.

Don’t allow the absence of expensive smoking equipment keep you from small scale smoking projects. If you have a 6” or 4 “ full hotel pan (or in my case a 2” hotel pan with the addition of aluminum foil) and a 2” perforated hotel pan… you have a smoker. Be creative, think outside the box and smoke ’em if you got ’em.
