Tips for the Chef

Granoro offers support for chefs by writing on each package intended for Foodservice a chart with the cooking times of each pasta format and recommendations for the various methods of cooking. It is important to abide by the cooking time indicated for each format because each company chooses different thicknesses for its formats and therefore, there will be different cooking times. Besides abiding by the cooking times recommended by the company, it is also important to taste the pasta while it’s cooking, because only in this way is it possible to cook the product adequately, enhancing its flavour, aroma and colour. When choosing a format, especially when comparing different manufacturers, it is important to evaluate thicknesses and diameters because the same formats do not always correspond to the same names.
