Here is an
insight into how our production process works:
1. Food Preparation
Wash
vegetables and put in the appropriate machine
for chopping, peeling, shredding or slicing
into the right size. If the vegetables are
cut manually, chopping boards used are different
to that of meat cutting boards.
2. Cooking
Some of the vegetables
are boiled and the remaining vegetables are
added later at the correct time. During this
process, herbs and spices are added at the
appropriate times. When this process is complete,
it is ready to be cooled down.
3. Cooling Down
After
cooking, the mixture is transferred into aluminium
cooling trays. These trays are put into a
Blast Chiller which will rapidly bring the
temperature down to 5degC or below. The mixture
is then covered with cling film and put into
a cold room.
4. Freezing Process
The mixture is
then filled in to pastry pockets. Pocket shape
and size depends on the product being produced.
Each pocket is sealed and put into an aluminium
tray and when the tray is full, it is put
into the blast freezer. The temperature is
bought down to -18degC or below and then the
trays are put into a Freezer room until they
are ready to be packed.
5. Packaging
The
items are packed into food bags and then put
into boxes of various sizes. Each box is then
labelled with the name and use by date. Boxes
are finally put into freezer room for storage
and ready for distribution.
