New paper product halves food spill

Metsä tissue has recently a new paper product, Saga Cook & Chill Paper, that has been specifically designed for cook & chill processes in institutional kitchens. According to Metsä Tissue the new product promises to start its own small green revolution by halving food waste levels in institutional settings. In addition, this handy innovation saves money, labour and dish-washing.
 
With the cook & chill process, food is prepared, cooked, cooled, transported, re-heated and served in large gastronorm (GN) pans. In institutional settings, the number of meals prepared per day runs into the hundreds or even thousands – and the costs, too, are calculated on a bulk scale.

In such settings, Saga Cook & Chill Paper offers a number of special advantages. First of all, it achieves major savings by reducing spillage when food is served. Lining dishes with GN-sized Saga Cook & Chill prevents the food around the edges from burning. The entire portion is thus consumed by the diners instead of being thrown away as waste. Practical tests confirm that the total food spill using Saga Cook & Chill is only half that of conventional paper-less processes.

The paper also saves labour and time by making dishwashing easier. You get away with less scrubbing and soaking, as the food does not stick to the pan.
