Preparing and Holding Lunch Changeover
Preparing Flavored Sauced Tenders (Squeeze Bottle)
- Use the correct Cambro container for the flavored sauce ordered by customer
- 3-piece order: Use yellow tongs, place 3 tenders into the 2-quart Cambro container
- Squeeze approximately 3 ounces of sauce onto the tenders
- 4-piece order: Use yellow tongs, place 4 sauced tenders into the 2-quart Cambro container
- Squeeze approximately 4 ounces of sauce onto the tenders
- Note: This is an average amount that will be needed for a regular order. The tenders will vary slightly in size and some orders may need a little more or a little less. The end result is the most important: have well-coated tenders to serve the guest.
- Place the lid on the Cambro. “Swirl” the tenders in the Cambro in a circular motion for approximately 5 seconds.
- DO NOT shake up and down as this will cause the breading to break off the sauced tenders
- If you notice any significant areas of the tenders without sauce, use the squeeze bottle to add sauce to that tender
Serving Dine In
- Place a deli liner in a 3-pound food tray. Take the lid off the Cambro, pour tenders and sauce onto one end of the 3-pound food tray, leaving enough room for an order of fries.
- If you notice any significant areas of the tenders without sauce, use the squeeze bottle to add sauce to that tender
- Empty a regular size order of fries (or alternate side item placed in a squat bowl with a lid) in the food tray beside the sauced tenders
- Place on serving tray
- Serve with a fork, knife 1 souffle cup of dipping sauce
Serving Dine Out (6 piece & 9 piece)
- Place a deli liner in a 3-pound food tray. Take the lid off the Cambro, pour tenders and sauce onto one end of the 3-pound food tray, leaving enough room for an order of fries.
- If you notice any significant areas of the tenders without sauce, use the squeeze bottle to add sauce to that tender
- Lift the deli liner on empty side and portion the fries or place alternate side item in a squat bowl with a lid
