Potliners – Alternative Uses

Potliners are well established and widely used in the Fish and Chip trade.  But how else can they be used?

It’s simple really,..Anyone using a Bain Marie to store hot or cold products can benefit from using Potliners.  Obviously other food types can use Potliners, Indian, Chinese, and any other type of ethnic foods.  However, at trade shows we have been made aware of other uses that we previously had not known about.

Chocolate Confectionary
We have spoken to Chocolatiers who have been using Potliners to line the pans containing  chocolate product.  Its ideal for dipping.  Apparently a pot layered with chocolate will challenge dried curry or peas to be the hardest to clean.  We are also told that the Potliner reduces waste as they can be removed and squeezed out to get the maximum yield from the chocolate.  We like this as chocolate should NEVER be wasted!

Nacho Cheese
Potliners have just passed a successful trial period with a chain of Cinema’s.  The liners are used in the kiosk where they prepare Cheesy Nacho’s.  This goes to show that people are finding new ways to use Potliners all the time.

Desserts
Restaurant owners are discovering that Potliners can be used behind the scenes for custards and other dessert sauces as well as other ‘mains’ dishes.  Potliners have been marketed to Cafe’s, Bars and Restaurants recently and the feedback is great.  One Chef commented “How come we only know about these now?  they are brilliant. I will use them in every kitchen I work in from now on”
