Educational Showcase 2006 The Protein Purchase Decision
Factors to Consider • Quality • Facility equipment • Service style • Cooking method and schedule • Product specifications • Cost focal point • Yield analysis • Costing analysis
Quality • Standard definition • Product purchase specifications • Patient acceptance • Eatability – eye appeal, aroma, taste • Product returned to the dishroom • Nutrition received by patient
Equipment • Oven capacity • Type of ovens • Menu requirements needing oven space • Use of thermometers for doneness • Sharp slicing equipment
Service Style • Trayline, galley, cafeteria • Hot holding time before service • Slice as needed or slice ahead • Time between plating and consumption
Cooking Method and Timing • Dry roast or wet roast, affect on nutrition • Cooking temperature • Start frozen or thawed (fresh) • Roast on a rack? • Cook for today or tomorrow • If cooking for tomorrow, do not go to full temperature
Refrigerated Storage Capacity • Sufficient fridge and freezer capacity? • Room to thaw meats? • Room to hold cooked meats for next day service?
Cost Focal Point • Back door or on the plate? • Costs of rejected portions? • Cost of replacement for not consumed foods • Costing method • Use of yield factors in cost comparisons
Yield Analysis • Type of roast or cut • Thaw in fridge versus cook from frozen • Excess trim • Cooking method temperature, and shrinkage • Resting time before slicing • Slicing method and shrinkage
Costing Analysis • Ideal cooking an slicing loss • Inside Round & Blss Pork Loin = 40% • BRT Fresh Ham & Shoulder Clod = 60% • 100 portion @ 3.0 oz cooked weight • Inside Round @ 5.23 = 0.628 • Shoulder Clod @ 4.24 = 0.577 • BRT Fresh Ham @ 3.54 = 0.481 • Blss Pork Loin @ 5.56 = 0.667
Costing Method • Determine finished weight (100 x 3 oz) • 300 oz / 16 oz/lb / 2.2 lb/kg = 8.5 kg • Determine raw weight needed – multiply by loss factor • 8.5 kg X 1.4 = 12.0 kg; 8.5 x 1.6 = 13.6 kg • Multiple raw weight by cost per kg • 12.0 kg x 5.23 (Cdn Inside Rd) = 62.76 • Divide by number of portions • 62.76 / 100 = 0.628 portion cost
Q & A / Discussion • Factors will vary from facility to facility • Procedures and process will affect yield • Equipment capabilities will dictate some decisions • Patient satisfaction will dictate some decisions • There is no “Right Way”
