- Can
I cook in PanSaver®?
Yes! You can cook food directly in PanSaver® pan
liners. PanSaver® can be used in your oven, microwave,
slow cooker, steamer, or on the flat-top.
- How
do I use PanSaver®?
Simply place PanSaver® in the pan, skirting the
sides.
- What’s
the maximum temperature of PanSaver®?
PanSaver® literature states 204°C as the maximum
temperature. PanSaver® can actually withstand
temperatures up to 232°C. Be careful though, as most ovens
are not calibrated and often are hotter than they appear. If
you are uncertain of your ovens exact temperature, it may be
safer to use an oven thermometer while cooking.
- How
long can I leave PanSaver® in
heat/on the line?
Food safety guidelines suggest replacing PanSaver® once
per shift or upon refilling new product. However, PanSaver® will
not break down throughout your standard workday.
- Can
I store leftover food in PanSaver®?
Yes, PanSaver® is an excellent way to keep leftovers
at the end of a shift and can be stored in temperatures as cold
as -73°C.
- How
much food can I store in PanSaver®?
PanSaver® is designed as a high temperature cooking
bag and not a storage bag. While, it is not suggested that you
use PanSaver® to store entire helpings of food;
PanSaver® is strong enough to hold your leftovers.
Typically, if your leftovers are at or below the, “half-way
point” PanSaver® will hold them. Remember,
if you leave PanSaver® in the pan, you can store
as much as you want!
- When
I reheat my leftovers, can I reuse the same PanSaver® the
next day?
For food safety purposes, it is suggested that you transfer the
leftover food into a new PanSaver® at the start
of the day.
- How
do I seal PanSaver® for storage?
To seal PanSaver®, you can simply tie the corners
together or use a standard twist tie.
- Does
PanSaver® melt?
PanSaver® will not melt if temperatures remain
within our published guidelines. If the cooking temperature exceeds
232°C, the edges of PanSaver® may become brittle
and dry out.
- Is
PanSaver® a non-stick material?
It depends on the food being cooked. We suggest you follow your
normal cooking procedures when cooking with PanSaver®.
If you normally spray your pans with a non-stick cooking spray,
please continue to do so when cooking in PanSaver®.
- What
are some possible reasons for PanSaver® sticking
to my pans?
PanSaver® should not stick to your pans. However,
if it does there may be several possible explanations:
- Be sure to preheat your ovens.
If an oven is not preheated,
it will often “spike” into
higher temperatures to quickly
achieve it’s setting. Preheating
avoids this.
- Make certain no part of your
PanSaver® liner
is touching the oven wall. The
oven wall is almost always considerably
hotter than the setting indicates.
- Be certain you are starting
with a clean pan. If the pan
is not clean, old food can stick
to the liner.
- Since some electrical warmers
have “hot spots” which
can create sticking, we suggest
adding a small amount of water
prior to lining the pan with
PanSaver®. This
should eliminate any problems.
- What
health standards and certifications does PanSaver® meet?
PanSaver® is the only high temperature liner that
has obtained the following health and safety certifications:
NSF certified, Kosher approved, FDA registered manufacturer,
and an ISO 9001 registered manufacturer.
- How
can I make it easier to cook and serve out of
PanSaver®?
To prevent the PanSaver® bag from moving around
during cooking and serving, simply wet the pan with a sprinkling
of water before inserting the PanSaver® liner.
This creates a suction and hold PanSaver® snug
against the pan.
- Why
is there sometimes moisture in my pan after cooking
with PanSaver®?
Under normal use, condensation is trapped between the pan and
PanSaver®.
- My
cooks say lining their pans with PanSaver® slows
them down. How can I prevent this?
Don’t have your cooks line the pans at all! PanSaver® is
used most effectively when the dishwasher removes the used PanSaver®,
rinses and sanitizes the pan, and then relines the pan him/herself!
Your pans can be stacked with the PanSaver® already
in them. When your cook reaches for a pan, it is already lined
and ready to use. The entire operation is now faster and more
efficient.
- How
is PanSaver® cost effective?
Our customers tell us the combination of Labor Savings + Food
Savings + Operational Savings results in a 10 times Return on
Investment for every PanSaver® they use. Please
refer to the Cost Saving
Calculator on this website.
- What
size pans can use PanSaver®?
PanSaver® comes in sizes to fit all standard steam
table pans, roasting pans, and soup pots.
