Bisto's Best

TO CELEBRATE its centenary year, Bisto has launched two new additions to the Chef’s Gravy Mixes range - Poultry and Red Meat.

Rachael Bouch, Head of Marketing Development for Foodservice, Premier Foods, says: “As the market leader in the gravymakers category, Bisto has an extensive range of products to suit the needs of chefs.

"In order to complete the Chef’s Gravy Mix range and offer a full gravy solution, we have launched two new variants specifically designed to compliment red meat and poultry dishes.”

A Bisto spokesperson said: "Bisto Chef’s Gravy Mixes have been formulated with the specific needs of the chef in mind, and offer unbeatable quality and flavour."

Caterers can use it as a gravy, an ingredient, or as a base for creating their own signature gravy or recipe.

To give cooks some inspiration, chef Mathew Shropshall has developed a number of new recipes using Bisto Chef`s Gravy Mixes, including English beef fillet with onion dumpling, roasted guinea fowl with beetroot, and hot game pie.

Alternatively, chefs can simply add ingredients such as tarragon, wine and mushrooms to create a chasseur sauce in next to no time.

Bisto Chef’s Gravy Mix for Meat and Vegetable dishes is the original Bisto Mix recipe, and is perfect with any meat or vegetable dish and is suitable for vegetarians.

The new Red Meat variety is a delicious new formulation using real meat juices for depth of flavour, and the new Poultry variety is a delicate balance of flavours to compliment a myriad of poultry dishes.

Rachael added: “It`s ideal solution for all catering outlets including large scale facilities such as hospitals, schools, colleges and nursing homes.

"Bisto Chef’s Gravy Mixes are excellent value for money delivering portion and cost control and can be prepared ahead of service as they are bain marie stable.

"They also contain no artificial colours, preservatives or hydrogenated vegetable oils (HVOs), ensuring that the products meet the requirements of the more health conscious customers.”

Bisto Chef’s Gravy Mixes are available in a variety of sizes to suit the needs of professional chefs:
- Resealable 30 litre tubs for easy storage
- 5 litre boxes ideal for smaller volumes
- A 51 litre bag is also available in the Meat & Vegetable variety for larger catering

Bisto offers a range of catering essentials from simple, quick and easy to use Gravy Granules to more complex ingredients such as Bouillons and Demi-Glace for the more creative recipes.
