CLASSIC BÉCHAMEL SAUCE MIX JOINS ESSENTIAL RANGE
With so much to think about in a busy restaurant kitchen, chefs can find themselves crying out for some basic essentials to ease the pressure, but without compromising on quality.
Making a great tasting béchamel sauce, for example, is not rocket science but can be a task chefs would happily forsake if they could rely on a readymade base as consistently good as their own.
For this reason, Essential Cuisine has added Classic Béchamel Sauce Mix to its range of kitchen-made tasting stocks, jus, glace and gravy, combining flour, butter and milk with an appropriate balance of onion, clove, pepper and bay for the smoothest, rich roux based sauce.
Nigel Crane, managing director of Essential Cuisine and Dorchester-trained chef, said: “As every trained chef knows, béchamel sauce is a classic mother sauce of French cuisine and to be able to call on a readymade base that performs consistently, tastes first class and is completely free of rubbish is welcome in today’s kitchens.
“On the back of our growing reputation for the finest products made by chefs for chefs, we have introduced this easy to make up, premium white sauce base to take away some of the work, leaving chef to focus on creating their final sauces with absolute confidence. We recommend chefs try it against their own or current brand to see just how good it really is.”
New Classic Béchamel Sauce Mix is perfect for lasagnes, cannelloni and soufflés, or as a base for a chef’s own creations, whether you wish to add cheese for a mornay or cheese sauce, parsley for a classic parsley sauce, mustard or mushrooms and cream. You might want to add to a white wine and cream reduction to make a classic cream sauce.
Classic Béchamel Sauce Mix is an extension of Essential Cuisine’s Classic range, which includes Classic Veal, Beef and Chicken Demi-glaces, and Classic Lobster Bisque. Each 1.5kg pots costs around £17 and makes 18 litres (add 80g to a litre of full or semi-skimmed milk).
It has both superior bain-marie holding qualities and is freeze thaw stable.
