Use of Simsu Oat Base
Instead of cooking creamVegan cream saucePasta gratinWhen using Simsu Oat Base for cooking, it is important that:
- The product is dissolved in cold water with vigorous stirring to prevent the formation of lumps
- Heating is done with stirring, especially when going above 55 degrees
- Do not heat too quickly when the product passes 55 degrees but allow the product to be at least 3 minutes at a temperature of 60 - 70 degrees to give the finished product the right consistency
- Heat the product above 75 degrees to give the product its closed consistency, taste and shelf life
- Finished products can be made in a simmer or other methods with manual or automatic stirring and heating.
Cream contains a high percentage of saturated fat which gives a creamy feel and rich flavor. For all uses of Simsu oat base, it can of course be used in combination with cream if desired. Usually a small amount of cream is enough to get enough richness and creaminess.
