Tesco To Axe Workers

[spathiphyllum]

Figures such as nine thousand and fifteen thousand are being thrown around.

But don't worry. It's fine i tell you. Did you know employment is at a record high? Who'd have funked it.

RR, party food is different.

Try a loaf of bread VS a sausage roll. Or even a cinnamon swirl.
Go buy some pre roll dough. None will be frozen, all chilled.

You can not cook dough from frozen.

RR a par baked croissant or sausage roll is not dough.

I rember that, sanmac. I believe that compartment was meant for a potty back in the day when babies were potty trained early to save washing nappies. Children would stay in those huge prams until they were 2 years old. No hope of getting them in to the shop, baby was left outside.

Cook from frozen

[spathiphyllum]

Unless RR tescos are planning to pre make them like that then bake them in store but i doubt that is the case due to that being the same process just a bit longer.

[Rockrose]

FYI croissants are classed as pastries
The freezer department in Tesco has frozen pastries that you cook from frozen

[spathiphyllum]

So is that how tescos are going to do it RR? Make them all, then simply cook them in store instead of cooking in store?

[spathiphyllum]

"FYI croissants are classed as pastries "
Rad, but what about dough lol

[Rockrose]

I have proven several times now you can cook pastry from frozen

[spathiphyllum]

when does a croissant stop being dough? when it's par baked lol.

[Rockrose]

Yes spath as lots of bakeries and restaurants do they buy them in pre made in factory and bake them on site

[spathiphyllum]

Instead of linking tesco products, why not go and research how hard dough is to cook from when it's frozen. This is a tedious "i want to be right" back and forth, one, that i'll happily let you "win". So... Is that how Tesco are going to do it? Make all these products a they are then just cook em in store?

[spathiphyllum]

OK so they will be par baked. Fine. That is not cooking dough from frozen.

[Rockrose]

Sorry I should have said dough can bee cooked from frozen, dough balls are sold frozen and you just stick them in the oven from frozen

[spathiphyllum]

Because they've gone through the par-bake and freeze method

[hc4361]

Spath, a lot of the supermarkets do exactly that. Straight from freezer to oven. My local farm shop sells 'fresh baked' Delifrance loaves that has been cooked in exactly that way.

[Rockrose]

I am a trained chef I have bought frozen dough products and baked them from frozen

[spathiphyllum]

Some chef you are then ;P ;P (just leg pulling)

[Rockrose]

No your not!

[spathiphyllum]

just can't see how the middle is nicely cooked and even with the outside if you cook dough from frozen. I see how it works with cookies (small) but impossible to do a loaf of bread from frozen. Can't see it happening.
