Specify the cut your dish needs
State whether you need slices or strips and whether size or thickness affects plating. Use the product reference to check specifications. If the cut does not match your menu, explain the form you need before deciding to purchase.
Plan preparation around processing state
Review both products’ processing descriptions and establish receiving, storage, thawing and cooking or heating steps. To determine whether a cooked product can be served cold directly, or to establish cooking or heating instructions, request the relevant product guidance.
Calculate bag opening and purchasing by batch
Record product weight per batch and batches over your purchasing period, then compare these with bag weight and case quantity. During a trial, record input weight separately from the final weight available for portioning. Use the result to plan servings and bag opening.
