Ben Carter – Head Chef

Installation and Maintenance Guide
Using Your Sauce
- Always use a clean, dry utensil to scoop sauce from the tin to avoid contamination.
- The plain base is perfect for customisation. Try adding fresh basil, oregano, or a pinch of chilli flakes.
- For best results, apply a thin, even layer to your pizza base, leaving a small border for the crust.
Storing It Right
- Before opening, store the tin in a cool, dark, and dry cupboard away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Once opened, transfer any unused sauce to a clean, non-metallic, airtight container. Do not store it in the open tin.
- Refrigerate immediately after opening and use within 3-5 days for optimal freshness and food safety.
- Always label the container with the date it was opened to keep track of freshness in your stock rotation.

It's like having a prep chef who perfectly nails the base sauce every single time, freeing your kitchen team to focus on high-value, creative tasks like perfecting toppings and delighting customers.
