Tips and FAQ

This has been done specifically to avoid losses or surpluses. And if there is still some sauce left over, you can still conserve them for a few days in the fridge (max. 4° C) or freeze them if necessary.

That is a logical reaction. However, we have chosen to offer our sauces in a 1kg packaging. Why? Very logical: 1kg remains very accessible because you can easily heat these doypacks in the microwave, which we also recommend. Whenever the sauce is about to run out, you just heat a new pouch.

You’re right. Despite the fact that the same ingredients are used, sterilization/pasteurization causes a slight difference in taste between a 150 g and a 1 kg-packaging. However, it rarely happens that both packagings are used in the same restaurant: that is why the customer never will notice this.

After opening, our sauces can still be kept for 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator. However, the times that an open doypack has will be stored until the next day are insignificant: our sauces were especially conditioned in pouches of just 1 kg. This amount of sauce provides 4 to 8 quantities, depending on usage. This is one of the convenience aspects of our sauces.

Leftovers of sauce can always be frozen. This is also possible for cream and cheese sauces, but we do not recommend it due to possible lumping when heated up after thawing. Cream and cheese sauces should then be reheated in a pan over low heat, stirring constantly. On the other hand, tomato sauces can be defrosted and reheated in a microwave at correct settings without any problems.

There are several options. Or you can heat the closed pouch in a microwave, in a kettle of warm water or in the steamer. Or you can open the bag and gradually heat the sauce in a pan.

That is perfectly possible! Many caterers do not have a microwave available, but work on gas fires. With a kettle of water with closed pouches of sauce onto a fire, you can perfectly add warm sauces to your bain-marie throughout the entire day. But make sure that the pouches do not directly touch the bottom of the kettle: after all, it is in direct contact with the heating source (electric cooking plate, gas fire, induction) so that your bags would melt due to the extreme heat on the bottom.

Definitely! We have a total of 17 vegetarian sauces, of which 5 are even vegan. We can always send you the digital version of our sauce brochure, so that you can take a look at our full range of sauces. Please feel free to contact us at info@dlisfood.com.

That is correct and has been done consciously, because it is better to add both ingredients in fresh just before serving.

You are of course completely free to do what you want. We remark both options with our customers. Either you go for a fixed price per cup, or you ask for toppings a little extra.
