Co-Vid First Responder Recipes

alharrah_2000

Hi folks,

Long time lurker/first time poster/sous vide cooker (Doug Baldwin/Grant thank you!). Bought a lab quality poly science rig Many years ago and never looked back.

Currently looking to use my multiple sousvide setups to create an pseudo MRE of sorts (within accceptable safety limits) for local first responders. Thinking about simple recipes using combinations of conventional par cooked veges, starches and sous vide cooked proteins. Bags might be chilled/presented cold for later re-heat with date and times prepped or provided warmed for immediate consumption?? Food safety being paramount, looking for suggestions.  

i am a 30 year part-time first responder myself and understand these folks work long hours and in large part relied upon take-out or fast food during their shifts. Unfortunately, our food service is being destroyed by the current pandemic and it its important to provide nutritious food to our folks on the front-lines.

Anyone have any suggestions? BTW, I’m pretty thick skinned and welcome constructive criticism. That said, I don’t have time for petty BS trollers and will not respond to any such idiots.

Thanks,

Aaron

Goof for you for being so thoughtful of others. .y first comment would be if your goal is to be helpful, try to think of how you can maintain social distancing while helping. Is there a staff kitchen or gathering place where you could leave food in a fridge and allow people to pick up their own one at at a time. Maybe leave outcome lysol wipes to wipe down the fridge door handle as they come and go?

You would come in contact with many people who, due to their service, would themselves likely have come in contact with people infected. Spreading it further by coming in contact with many others is the last thing we need.

I have a homemade ice cream business. I was scheduled to start making my first wholesale deliveries this week but because of closures I am sitting on a large amount of perishable inventory. I have been thinking I would like to sell this to consumers directly and donate 100% of proceeds to our local hospital but I need to find a way of doing it with out having people gather together or me going from one person to another and another and another and possibly spreading it if I am exposed along the way.

All the best and stay safe and healthy!
