COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:

Before you get started: Eat Curious Dehydrated Mince and Pieces are supplied in 1kg bags and stored ambient. More information can be found on our product page here. Once hydrated and excess water is drained, our dehydrated product produces up to 3.5x in weight (you can obtain up to 4x its weight if allowed to fully hydrate overnight). Example: If you require approximately 1kg of Eat Curious mince, use 285g dehydrated product + 900ml of water.

1. Spread the Dehydrated Mince or Pieces evenly on a gastronorm tray.

2. Soak in water for at least 30 minutes using the following ratio: 1 part Dehydrated Product to 3 parts water.

3a: (Option 1) For use in wet, hot dishes, add directly to dish.

3b: (Option 2) For use in chilled dishes, coat in oil and cook at 180°C until core temperature is reached.

4. Serve in your chosen dish.
