Chef tips:
• For extra bread, Rapid Freezing keeps the soft and fluffy texture of bread by suppressing moisture evaporation and keeping water molecules in place.
• Quick Cooling helps marinades penetrate faster into the food thus speed up the seasoning process to reduce preparation time.
• When portioning out for later, Rapid Freezing maintains juiciness and crispiness of the deep-fried food.
