Sauces such as béchamel and cheese are complicated products, as with bulk production comes a range of issues including burn-on, poor viscosity and varied texture. This is due to the methods used to hydrate the starch and activate the flour; if these are not strictly controlled then repeatability and consistency cannot be guaranteed.
The Jet Cook™ System entrains the flour and starch in seconds, cooks out the flour and hydrates the starch in a fraction of the traditional processing time. A 1000Kg batch should take no more than 25 minutes.
If a more traditional style bechamel is required, the combined use of Jet Cook™ and Roux Bar can make a base roux for the initial stage of the sauce.
The use of the Jet Cook™ will also allow the customer to potentially reduce the fat and salt content of the recipe with no flavour or texture detriment, this is due to the simultaneous heating and mixing capability of the Jet Cook™ units.
