Hormel Foods spent years of research developing a premium product that not only matches the quality and taste of cooked from raw bacon, but also reduces labour, shrinkage, waste, grease and risk of under- or overcooked products.
Not to be confused with fully cooked bacon products on the market that use microwave technology, HORMEL® BACON 1TM Perfectly Cooked Bacon brings the same consistency and quality of cooked-from-raw bacon in terms of flavour, appearance and texture. “It is a truly one-of-a-kind solution that can help operators stretch their resources without having to sacrifice quality,” says Dan Glendinning, Country Manager, Canada Foodservice for Hormel Foods Canada.
Seeing is believing, so watch the difference comparing HORMEL® BACON 1TM Perfectly Cooked Bacon to cooked-from-raw bacon, to see how HORMEL® BACON 1TM Perfectly Cooked Bacon produces 95 percent less bacon grease, cooks in four to six minutes versus 12 to 15 and uses 50 percent fewer pans (each full-size sheet pan can fit four parchment sheets versus two for raw bacon). All of which translates into less labour, oven/grill time, grease disposal and cleanup – and a more efficient kitchen.
“Because you can heat HORMEL® BACON 1TM Perfectly Cooked Bacon in minutes, you don’t have to precook large batches so there is never an oversupply and you can easily replenish what you need,” says ChefD of ChefD TV and owner of ChefD Pizza in Kitchener, Ont. “We use it all the time for catering. We don’t have to worry about bacon sitting in chafing dishes for hours because we can easily put fresh-cooked bacon out in four minutes. They come out of the carton on parchment lined sheets so you can just slide them into the oven and you are ready to go. And you don’t get a lot of fat coming off it so the splatter is next to nothing.”
Shelf life is also longer. Because it is frozen at manufacturing, HORMEL® BACON 1TM Perfectly Cooked Bacon has a one-year shelf life which is around double the shelf life of frozen fresh bacon.
