Frequently Asked Questions
How to cook gordon choice macaroni and cheese?+
This specific product is Gordon Choice Corn Starch, which is a thickening agent, not a prepared macaroni and cheese product. You would use this corn starch to thicken sauces or gravies in a commercial kitchen, but it's not designed for cooking a pre-packaged meal like mac and cheese. For Gordon Choice macaroni and cheese, you'd typically follow the package instructions, often involving boiling water and milk, then stirring in the cheese sauce packet. This 5kg bulk corn starch is purely for thickening applications.
Is gordon choice nacho cheese gluten free?+
This product is Gordon Choice Corn Starch, which is naturally gluten-free. For specific dietary information on Gordon Choice nacho cheese, you would need to check the exact product label or contact their customer service directly, as ingredients can vary.

How to use Gordon Choice Corn Starch 5 in a commercial kitchen?+
Gordon Choice Corn Starch 5kg is a highly versatile thickening agent for commercial kitchens and bars. It's excellent for thickening sauces, gravies, pie fillings, and glazes, providing a clear, glossy finish. In a bar setting, it's perfect for adding body to cocktail syrups, stabilizing fruit purees for mocktails, or creating viscous textures in non-alcoholic beverages. Always create a slurry with cold liquid first to prevent clumping when incorporating into hot preparations.
How to prepare Gordon Choice Corn Starch 5 for service?+
To prepare Gordon Choice Corn Starch 5kg for service, you must first create a smooth slurry. Combine the desired amount of corn starch from the 5kg bag with an equal part of cold liquid, such as water, juice, or spirit, and whisk thoroughly until all lumps are gone. This slurry is then gradually whisked into your main liquid, whether it's a simmering syrup or a cold fruit puree, and heated or blended until it reaches the desired thickness. This method ensures an even, consistent texture in your final product.
How to store Gordon Choice Corn Starch 5 for maximum shelf life?+
For maximum shelf life of Gordon Choice Corn Starch, store the 5kg bags in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and any sources of humidity. Moisture is the primary enemy of dry starch products, causing them to clump and degrade. Once a bag is opened, transfer any remaining corn starch into a rigorously airtight container to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. Properly sealed and stored, it will maintain its quality and efficacy for its stated shelf life, crucial for large-volume inventory management.
How to clean equipment after using Gordon Choice Corn Starch 5?+
Cleaning equipment after using Gordon Choice Corn Starch 5kg is generally straightforward because it's water-soluble. For items like pots, whisks, and mixing bowls, warm soapy water followed by a good rinse is usually sufficient to remove all residue. For blenders or pumps used for thickened syrups or purees, a thorough initial rinse with warm water, followed by a cycle with hot soapy water, then a final rinse, will ensure cleanliness. Always ensure all equipment parts are completely dry before storage to prevent any sticking or bacterial growth.
What is the recommended ratio or dilution for Gordon Choice Corn Starch 5?+
The recommended ratio or dilution for Gordon Choice Corn Starch 5kg is highly variable, depending entirely on the desired thickness and specific application. As a general guideline for light thickening, you might start with 1 tablespoon of corn starch mixed with 1 tablespoon of cold water per cup of liquid. For a significantly thicker consistency, like a dense cocktail syrup or a sauce, you might increase this to 2-3 tablespoons per cup. Always create a slurry first, then add it gradually to your main liquid while heating or blending until the desired viscosity is achieved.
What is the typical yield of Gordon Choice Corn Starch 5 per case?+
A case of Gordon Choice Corn Starch contains five individual 5kg bags, providing a total of 25kg of corn starch per case. Given its function as a thickening agent for bar and food service applications, the 'yield' refers to its thickening capacity. A small amount can thicken a significant volume of liquid. For example, 25kg offers substantial thickening power for numerous large batches of cocktail syrups, fruit purees, or sauces, making it a very efficient product for high-volume operations requiring consistent texture.
What is the standard cocktail ratio with this product?+
There isn't a 'standard cocktail ratio' for Gordon Choice Corn Starch because it's used as a thickening agent or stabilizer, not a primary flavour component. Its application typically involves creating specific textures, such as in viscous syrups or to stabilize foams. For example, a common approach for thickening a simple syrup for cocktails might involve whisking 1-2 teaspoons of corn starch slurry per cup of syrup, heated gently until the desired body is achieved. Experimentation is key to dial in the perfect mouthfeel for your specific drink, as desired viscosity varies greatly.
Which spirits or base ingredients pair best with Gordon Choice Corn Starch?+
Gordon Choice Corn Starch pairs best with a wide range of spirits and base ingredients where texture enhancement is desired. It's excellent for thickening fruit purees to add body to rum or gin-based cocktails, or to create more viscous, luxurious mouthfeels in spirit-forward drinks like an Old Fashioned using a slightly thickened syrup. It also works with non-alcoholic bases, allowing mixologists to create rich mocktail experiences by stabilizing juice blends or creating unique textures for infusions. This versatility makes it suitable for almost any bar menu requiring specific textural elements.
