Frequently Asked Questions
Anyone using Trepuree pureed meals for long-term care? How's the resident acceptance?
We've been using Trepuree Entree Chicken Lemon for a while in our Calgary facility. Acceptance is decent, especially with a bit of a fresh garnish to make it look more appealing. The lemon flavour helps cut through the richness a bit.
What's the best way to reheat these Trepuree 250g pureed units without drying them out?
Thaw them in the fridge overnight first. Then, microwave covered on medium power, stirring every minute or so, or use a combi oven on a gentle steam setting. Don't blast them on high heat, they'll turn into a brick.
Are the ingredients in Trepuree Chicken Lemon pureed truly 'clean label' or are there a lot of additives?
Looking at the ingredient list, it's pretty standard for a shelf-stable pureed product. You've got your thickeners like xanthan and locust bean gum, and some flavour enhancers. It's designed for specific dietary needs, so some functional ingredients are expected for texture and stability.
Any tips for making Trepuree pureed chicken more appetizing for residents?
Presentation is key. Use a piping bag to plate it nicely, maybe a small swirl. A tiny sprinkle of finely chopped fresh parsley or chives, if suitable for the resident's diet, can make a huge difference visually. Even a small dollop of pureed gravy on the side helps.
We're considering switching to Trepuree for our pureed entrees. How reliable is the consistency between batches?
From our experience with Trepuree Entree Chicken Lemon, the consistency has been very reliable. The texture and flavour profile are quite uniform across cases, which is what you need in a busy kitchen. It holds up well.
Does the 'lemon' in Trepuree Entree Chicken Lemon taste artificial?
It's not like fresh squeezed lemon, but it's not overly artificial either. It's a mild, pleasant lemon note that complements the chicken and vegetables. It's designed to be palatable for a wide range of tastes, so it's not too strong.
What's the best way to manage inventory for these 24-unit cases of Trepuree pureed meals?
Keep them frozen in a dedicated freezer section, clearly labelled. We use a FIFO system, rotating cases as they come in. Since they're 24 units per case, it's easy to track daily usage and reorder when you hit a certain par level.
Are there any issues with the Trepuree pureed entrees holding temperature after reheating?
Once reheated to the proper temperature, Trepuree Entree Chicken Lemon holds its heat well on a hot plate or in a heated cart for service. Just make sure your serving line is efficient to maintain quality and food safety standards.
Is Trepuree Entree Chicken Lemon suitable for patients with severe swallowing difficulties?
Yes, Trepuree Entree Chicken Lemon is specifically formulated with a smooth, pureed texture to provide a safe and pleasurable mealtime experience for individuals with swallowing difficulties, often referred to as dysphagia. It's designed to be easily consumed without chewing.
What are the primary ingredients in this pureed chicken entree?
