Cook Chill Bag
A cook-chill bag is a specialized food packaging item used in the food industry, particularly in commercial kitchens and food service operations. It is designed for the cook-chill method of food preparation and storage.
The cook-chill method involves cooking food to the desired temperature, rapidly chilling it, and then packaging it for storage. This method helps preserve the quality and safety of the food while also allowing for convenient storage and reheating.
Our bags can withstand temperatures ranging from -20°F to 212°F (-29°C to 100°C). They also save you money by reducing food spoilage as they are designed to chill quickly and get foods out of the red zone for spoilage (41°F to 135°F / 5°C to 57°C).
Cook-chill bags are typically made of heat-resistant, food-safe materials that can withstand the cooking process. They come in various sizes and shapes, depending on the type and quantity of food being prepared.
Some common uses of cook-chill bags include:
1. Preparing large batches of soups, sauces, and stews for later use in restaurants or catering operations.
2. Cooking and packaging proteins such as meats, poultry, and seafood for use in ready-to-eat meals.
3. Portioning and storing cooked grains, vegetables, and other side dishes.
4. Preparing ingredients for assembly-line cooking, such as pre-cooked pasta for pasta dishes.
5. Storing and transporting bulk quantities of prepared food in institutional settings like hospitals and schools.
Overall, cook-chill bags are a versatile tool for food service professionals, allowing them to efficiently prepare, store, and serve high-quality meals to their customers.
