Glaze Your Way to Restaurant-Quality Meat

Glazes are a powerful tool for both home cooks and commercial kitchens, offering an effortless way to infuse meat with incredible flavour, transforming ordinary meals into show-stopping creations.  Here's how to unlock the magic of glazes and impress your customers.

Take your food offerings to the next level:

1. Pick Your Glaze:

Weald Packaging offers a wide variety of glazes, from classic sweet and sticky options to smoky or spicy ones. Choosing the perfect glaze depends on your personal preference and the type of meat you're cooking.  For example, a sweet and tangy barbecue glaze pairs beautifully with pork, while a smoky chipotle glaze complements chicken wonderfully. View our range of Leonards glaze or have a browse of the MRC glazes we have on offer.

2. Glaze It Up!

Simple math here: aim for roughly 10% of your meat's weight in glaze.  This ensures a good balance between the glaze's flavour and the natural taste of the meat.

There are two common methods for applying the glaze:

The Bag Shake: Place your meat in a bag or resealable container. Pour in the measured glaze and shake vigorously to ensure an even and thorough coating.

The Brushing Bonanza: For a more controlled application, use a brush to evenly coat the glaze onto your meat.

3. Marinate for Maximum Flavour:

Now, let the magic happen! Marinate your glazed meat in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. For best results, leave it for a few hours. This allows the flavours to infuse deeply into the meat, resulting in a more complex and delicious outcome.

Pro Tip: For an even more intense flavour explosion, consider marinating overnight.

4. Cooking Time!

Whether you choose to grill, oven-bake, or air-fry your glazed meat, you're in for a treat. The glaze adds a caramelized sweetness to the exterior while keeping the interior wonderfully moist and flavourful.

The Final Bite:

Using glazes elevates your meat dishes from ordinary to extraordinary.  With minimal effort, you'll achieve restaurant-quality results that will have everyone asking for your secret!
