What is Ready-to-Cook?

Ready-to-Cook saves you time and money as well as significantly reducing waste.

Our Ready-to-Cook products are divided into convenient portions.

  1. These are then vacuum packed...
  2. ...and then blast frozen. We freeze our meat at the perfect moment, ensuring that it reaches you tasting superb.
  3. The frozen portions are placed into kilo packs. Which we then keep in the freezer ready to send out to you.
  4. When you receive them...Pop the packs into the freezer.
  5. Then when the kids come home...
    And you need supper fast, take the pack out of the freezer.
  6. Cut it open...
    Take out just what you need. We throw away a third of the food we buy in the UK every year. But with a Ready-to-Cook pack you can put what you don't need back in the freezer for later.
  7. Pop the portions into a bowl of cool water
    So they can de-frost. Not too hot (they'll start to cook) or not too cold (they'll stay frozen)
  8. After 15 minutes...
    Take them out and open up the packs. The vacuum bags are recyclable too so make sure you put them in the right bin!
  9. Pop them in the pan...
    With a little bit of oil or a bit of butter. You can add some seasoning if you'd like too.
  10. In a few minutes they'll be ready...
    Check that the juices run clear when you pierce them with a fork. Be careful not to overcook them! Serve them with a salad and some new potatoes, in sandwiches, covered in breadcrumbs, the choice is yours...

This is a Ready-to-Cook pack of Chicken Fillets, straight out of the freezer.
