Benefits of Vacuum PackingThe Professional Line of Vacuum Packers from Orved provides tangible benefits for the discerning establishment. Orved's range of appliances has been carefully designed to meet the needs of all sizes of hotel, catering and restaurant establishments, as well as retailers and artisan producers. There are considerable benefits to be achieved when you use Vacuum Packing:
The fact is that food wastage adds up to a considerable sum for almost every kitchen. According to Lord Haskins (Labour Peer) as much as "50% of our food supply is currently wasted" - The Grocer, 9th February 2008. A lot of this waste is down to the demands of supermarkets and food processors as well as consumers. However, for chefs and caterers and those in retail and artisan production every piece of food wastage is gross profit that is being thrown away just because there are insufficient methods of storing, saving and packing food in near perfect conditions. A vacuum packer in the kitchen environment will vastly cut food wastage by keeping food kept in a vacuum and refrigerated condition up to 3 to 5 times longer. Cold frozen food will not suffer the affects of rancidity or freezer burn. You can download a table of extended shelf life of various foodstuffs in a vacuum sealed pack here: Table of Food Freshness. Production kitchens can help chefs to manage their food preparation more efficiently as well as contribute to better food quality. They can also help customers to be served faster, reduce food and labour costs, and improve food hygiene and safety. Whether you run a pub with a budget of £40,000, or a central production unit with a network of smaller kitchens, you can use a vacuum packer to prepare covers in advance ready for re-heating on demand. In addition sous vide cooking of whole roasts, joints, raw fish and some prepared foods such as rice, vegetables and sauce based meals provides extra value. There is no loss of nutritional value, texture and taste resulting in enhanced sensory quality. Finally, much is made of HACCP controls and kitchen regulations. One way to be absolutely sure that cooked and raw food can remain separate is in a vacuum pouch!
