Creating Eye Appeal with Shape & Serve® Thickener For Shaping and
Texture
Add variety to your meals by following product preparation instructions as
you try shaping ideas such as:
Squares, Cubes, Sticks, or Triangles
– Once foods processed with
Shape & Serve® Thickener For Shaping
and Texture are cooked and portioned, portions may be further cut to create
shapes. Cut a sandwich square into two triangles, a fish square into 3 fish
sticks, or a beef square into beef cubes.
Wedges – Cook mixture in
a pie or cake pan, then slice into wedge shaped portions to make appetizing
pizza pies, quiches, casseroles, or vegetable side dishes.
Layers
– Process food items separately and layer them in a loaf or half steamtable
pan for a beautiful layered slice or square. Great for lasagna, sandwiches, or
vegetables such as peas and carrots.
Rounds – Create a variety of
shapes by cooking foods with
Shape & Serve® Thickener For Shaping and
Texture in regular muffin tins or "Texas" sized muffin tins. Create
individual omelets, meat pies, or vegetable soufflés. Use swirling or layering
for a unique effect.
