The festive season is one of the busiest times in the kitchen, especially for those in the hospitality industry. Reservations full up, the pressure mounts and every second seems to count to keep those diners happy.  

With the right strategy and a little help from Amapelepele’s spice blends, you can keep the quality top-notch while breezing through every service. Our blends were created to save time and guarantee flavour consistency, a secret weapon for busy kitchens during the holiday season. 

Why Are Ready-to-Use Spices the Best Ingredient for Professional Kitchens?  

In high-pressure kitchens, efficiency and consistency are key. Amapelepele’s blends combine a perfect balance of spices, reducing the need for individual measurements and cutting down prep time. This not only streamlines your workflow but also ensures that every dish delivers the same punch of flavour, batch after batch. 

Ways to Save Time for High-Volume Cooking 

Here are some tips for optimising your kitchen’s performance during the holiday rush: 

Prepare Marinades and Rubs in Advance 

Batch-mix marinades using BBQ Spice or Spice-O-Seasoning and store them for quick use. This allows you to season meats efficiently without slowing down service. 

Focus on High-Yield Dishes 

Prioritise menu items that can be prepared in large quantities, such as curries or braised meats. Products like Mother-in-Law Curry Powder add depth to these dishes, making them standout crowd-pleasers. 

Use Versatile Spices Across Your Menu 

Blends like Spice-O-Seasoning can be used in everything from soups and stews to roasted vegetables, minimising the need for multiple products and streamlining your inventory, while bringing out the inherent flavour from every dish. 

Embrace One-Pan and Sheet Tray Cooking 

For large-scale operations, roasting meats and vegetables on sheet trays seasoned with BBQ Spice or Magic Chicken Spice saves time and space while delivering maximum flavour and tenderness.
