As the cost-of-living crisis continues, more and more businesses are feeling the squeeze on their finances. Whether it’s the cost of fuel and electricity or staffing and man hours – even little savings can make a huge difference to our customers.
The simplicity and versatility of Macphie products means our customers can cut their costs without compromising on quality.
Our range of savoury sauces have been designed to help chefs cut down on preparation time and costs, as sauces do not have to be made from scratch. Take demi-glace for example – to make from scratch you require numerous ingredients, it takes several hours to make, and there are energy costs associated with both making the product and cleaning. Why go through all the hassle and spend an extensive amount of money making your own when you can purchase our ready to use Demi-Glace! And if that wasn’t enough, you can store it ambient.
It’s not just our Demi-Glace that can be stored ambiently – other than our frozen cookie dough, our entire range can be stored ambiently. Not only does this save money on energy bills but it also improves your carbon footprint, as products can be stored in cupboards as opposed to being stored in fridges/freezers, which are running 24/7 and using electricity.
Looking for a dairy cream alternative that lasts more than a day? Macphie Mactop® Extra has a five day shelf life when stored at room temperature after whipping, meaning you can use the same product over five days to make various desserts such as these biscuit barrels – salted caramel, chocolate and white chocolate. One of our customers uses their left over brownie and Mactop® Extra to create pots, not only reducing waste but also giving them a great selling extra line.
We ensure our products deliver consistent results and are simple to make, meaning you get consistent results every time, and minimum skillset is required in order to create delicious dishes. The majority of Macphie cake mixes require only the addition of water & oil and egg to create an array of bakes. Top with our Frostings, which are ready to use from the pail, requiring no preparation time or electricity for whipping.
In addition, our range of sweet and savoury sauces can be served hot or cold. Being ready to use, sauces such as our Plant-based Taco Sauce & Nacho Cheese Sauce (both of which have been endorsed by The Craft Guild of Chefs) work well as a dip for chorizo sausage rolls, sweet potato fries or corn dogs, or even a dressing on dishes such as nachos and feta & couscous tacos.
No heating up sauce is required when applying to the likes of burgers or croquettes, as the sauce’s temperature will rise from the heat of the application, which will reduce the cost of your energy!
The air fryer revolution has truly transformed cooking. Not only can you cook healthy alternatives to deep-fried dishes, but it is also up to three times cheaper to run than conventional ovens, according to Which?. If you’ve got an air fryer, why not try our parmie chicken recipe, or this air fryer corn dish which makes for an ideal side.
And whether you call it a ‘micro-wah-vay’ or a ‘popty ping’, microwaves can help you cut down your prep time when making desserts. This microwave sponge pudding, which is made using Macphie Chocolate Crème Cake Mix, can be made in under 10 minutes! You can also make up a batch and freeze them to use at anytime. Try it for yourself.
From sauces that can be served with low-to-no heating, to cream alternatives that don’t need refrigeration, to ready-mixes that enable any member of staff to make delicious foods in a jiffy – our products are packed with clever ways to cut costs and take the heat off our customers.
