Foodservice professionals use PanSaver® for three primary reasons:
- Reduction/reallocation of labor to more critical areas of the operation instead of potwashing. Additionally, using PanSaver® lowers operational cost associated with cleaning chemicals, cleaning supplies and utilities.
- Elimination of direct food-to-hot-metal contact which prevents food from drying out and becoming unservable. Customer feedback indicates that food lasts 3x longer with PanSaver® than unlined pans. Research conducted at the Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College, PA, demonstrated that food holding temperatures were, on average, 20°F warmer for food held in pans lined with PanSaver® versus unlined pans. The result is better flavor and moisture retention.
- Disposal of grease in the trash versus down the drain. This is especially important for foodservice operators who don't have grease traps in municipalities that monitor BODs.
Sustainability Initiatives
- M&Q operates a zero landfill manufacturing facility.
- M&Q recently developed a new pan liner called PanSaver ECO™, which is the world's first bio-based ovenable (400°F/203) pan liner.
PanSaver® ECO™ offers the following sustainable attributes:
- 100% recyclable
- Higher puncture resistance than conventional ovenable pan liners
- Higher abrasion resistance than conventional ovenable pan liners
- Same heat tolerance (400°F) as nylon
- Less susceptible to protein adhesion than nylon
- More impermeable to steam degradation than nylon pan liners. This facilitates fewer liner "change-outs" which saves the operator money
- Only PanSaver® Ovenable Pan Liners can deliver all of these benefits at up to 400° F.
Labor Savings
- Eliminates scrubbing – all you need to do is sanitize!
- Increases productivity in the kitchen.
Improves Food Quality
- PanSaver® eliminates the direct food-to-hot metal contact which prevents the moisture in the food from "scalding-off". Moisture retains flavor and temperature in the food. Tests have proven that food held in PanSaver®-lined pans
- averages 20°F/8°C warmer than food held in a pan without PanSaver®.
Increases Food Yield
- The PanSaver® patented Contour-Fit® eliminates folds in the liner that trap food. Moreover, since food doesn't stick to the PanSaver® surface, there is virtually no waste.
- Makes Food Safer
- Food cooked with PanSaver® never touches the pan, eliminating the chance of surface contamination.
- Protects Plumbing/Better for the Environment
- Grease goes into the trash, not down the drain. PanSaver® eliminates clogged drains and is better for the environment.
