Transform Puree Food in 5 Easy Steps

STEP 1 - PUREE

Place cooked food in a food processor and pure until a smooth, thick, lump free consistency is achieved. Avoid adding too much fluid to the blender to prevent diluting the nutritional content of the puree.

STEP 2 - ADD THICKENER

Add a small amount of food thickener to the puree to ensure food mold maintains its new form once removed from its mold and is reheated. Look for a puree mixture consistency that will hold on a spoon when inverted.

 

STEP 3- MOLD

Using a spatula, spoon or piping bag, evenly distribute puree food throughout the individual mold cavities. Cover mold tray with mold lid and place in the freezer to set.

STEP 4 - PLATE

Once frozen, remove molded food portions from mold tray and place on to a plate. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to thaw in the fridge. Note: to save space, frozen molds can be placed in freezer bags and logged and labelled as per HACCP requirements.

STEP 5 - HEAT AND SERVE

Cover molded meal with heat proof cover or plastic wrap to retain moisture and reheat using one of the following methods:

• Steam Oven
• Burlodge Style retherm system
• Bain Marie Undercounter Hot Box
• Microwave (low power setting)
