Enjoy your preserves more by cooling them through ice water
The ice is becoming more and more popular in our day to day, to a greater extent. And, for this reason, there are new ice uses and tips coming out to increase the use of ice and take advantage of its benefits.
In line with this, we want to tell you how the use of ice affects canned food, since we are sure that few people know it.
Benefits of using ice water before consuming canned food
Usually, to serve and eat a can of preserves, we take it from the pantry, we open it and we serve it on the plate.
Well… did you know that there are cans of preserves that if you let them rest for 3 or 4 minutes in ice water, their flavour increases and improves?
This happens because the cooling of the product is done much faster, and when you eat it, you feel how said preserve has a more intense flavor.
On the other hand, cans of products in oil should not be cooled since the oil may become somewhat cloudy.
Home ice makers
In order to make use of the advice above, and any other advice for which you need ice cubes, you will need to always have ice ready.
What most people do is using that ice backet that has cube shapes and fill it with water to form the ice cubes, although we already know the problems that this solution has:
- It takes up space in the freezer
- The ice cubes tend to absorb odours from the other foods in the freezer
- The ice cubes fall apart very quickly
At Ice Tech we have been proposing an innovative alternative for some time: a domestic ice machine that produces high-quality ice, odour-free, perfect, and always available for use.
Here you can learn more about the benefits of having a home ice machine.
The importance of ice in the transport of the fishing industry
The transport of the product from the moment it is collected until it is taken to the point of sale is vital for its conservation.
Ice plays a fundamental role in this process, so having the best type of ice to refrigerate products, store them and keep them always fresh until they reach their destination is important.
At Ice Tech we have the SC Range and the SC Split Range, ice machines that produce flake ice, very cold and dry, being perfect for transporting fish and preserving food.
And you, did you know this little trick to enjoy canned food in a different way? What else do you use ice cubes for?
