Some time ago, prefabricated dishes were very hot, and many companies invested heavily in joining the prefabricated food track, but when prefabricated dishes first came out, they caused a lot of people to resist, especially many people strongly opposed prefabricated dishes on campus.
Recently, on Weibo, the two topics of "Chinese New Year's Eve Meal Pre-made Dish Consumption, Seventy Percent Are Young People" and "Will You Choose Pre-made Dishes for Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner" have triggered more than 70 million readings and nearly 40,000 discussions.
Seeing this, many netizens may question whether this is a prefabricated food company spending money to buy hot searches, deliberately creating the illusion that festival prefabricated dishes are hot?
In response to this question, there was an in-depth field investigation, and it was found that prefabricated dishes were indeed popular in supermarkets in many cities.
In Beijing and Jinan, many supermarkets and popular restaurants have hot sales of prefabricated dishes, and prefabricated dishes have also become one of the hot New Year goods that many consumers focus on.
Seeing that the response to pre-made dishes is so good, some listed companies are also gearing up and increasing their efforts to put on the shelves in major shopping malls and e-commerce platforms, which is bound to provide consumers with rich pre-made dishes for Chinese New Year's Eve.
There is still a week to come to the Spring Festival, the Spring Festival customers will prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, for young people, many people simply do not have the patience to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and there is no technology to do the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, so many people take the "shortcut" and prepare to buy pre-made dishes to make the Chinese New Year's Eve meal.
For you, would you choose pre-made dishes for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?
In response to this issue, everyone may fall into controversy, some people support and are willing to use pre-made dishes for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but many people may oppose it.
In fact, whether you should choose pre-made dishes for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, I think it is necessary for everyone to have an in-depth understanding of pre-made dishes, so that we can make a conclusion.
Pre-made dishes are actually not a new thing, but many people did not know enough about pre-made dishes before, so there may be some misunderstandings about pre-made dishes.
In fact, there have long been a lot of pre-made dishes in the market, such as KFC, McDonald's, and many chain restaurants that actually use pre-made dishes.
For example, some of the kimchi, sauerkraut, spicy strips, hot pot and other foods that everyone often eats actually belong to the category of pre-made dishes.
It's just that pre-made dishes are also classified.
The first category is the ** kitchen pre-made dishes that are used on the day of production.
This kind of dish is responsible for procurement, screening, cleaning and packaging of the dishes by the ** kitchen, and then sent to various stores for sale, this kind of dish is only responsible for the front-end processing work, not responsible for the back-end processing, consumers need to cook themselves after purchase.
This kind of prefabricated dishes made by the first kitchen is not much different from the dishes you buy, but it helps you save various links such as cleaning and sorting, so that everyone can make it easier and more labor-saving.
Category 2 is pre-made dishes that have already been cooked and packaged.
There are a lot of pre-made dishes on the market today, and these pre-made dishes are made by specialized companies, who cook the dishes, package them, and then distribute them to various places through the cold chain.
This kind of cooked pre-made dishes can be eaten right out of the bag, and they have a long shelf life, and some pre-made dishes can even reach a shelf life of one year.
Some time ago, the pre-made dishes that made a lot of noise came to the campus, in fact, part of it is this kind of pre-made dishes that have been cooked in advance. As for what the expiration date of these pre-made dishes is, we don't know much about when they will be produced.
After a brief understanding of pre-made dishes, let's take a look at whether we should buy pre-made dishes for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
First of all, I personally think that if you want to save time and effort, you can buy those pre-made dishes made in advance by the ** kitchen, these pre-made dishes are just to help you sort and clean, and you will cook immediately after taking them home.
Secondly, for pre-made dishes that have already been cooked, I don't think it's much of a problem to eat them once in a while, but I don't recommend everyone to eat them for a long time.
Although many companies claim that pre-made food is safer, and the taste, texture, and nutrition are not much different from on-site cooking, I always feel that for those who pursue food, on-site cooking can restore the true nature of food.
For those pre-made dishes that have been cooked, they need to put all kinds of spices, and in order to maintain the shelf life of the pre-made dishes, they will also put various preservatives or other additives, which has no effect on the dishes and taste, I believe that everyone does not believe it.
For these well-cooked pre-made dishes, if you eat them occasionally for emergency purposes, there is no problem, and our body can fully bear some of the problems it brings.
But if you consume these pre-made dishes for a long time, I don't recommend it. On the one hand, these pre-made dishes themselves do not necessarily taste good; On the other hand, although these prefabricated dishes are well packaged, they have been put for a long time, and whether the relevant enterprises operate in strict accordance with the relevant requirements of the cold chain in the process of transportation and storage is unknown, and it is possible that the dishes will deteriorate when they reach the hands of consumers, so I think everyone can do it themselves, try not to buy those prefabricated dishes with a long shelf life.
Finally, when choosing a pre-made dish, you must look for the brand.
To some extent, pre-made dishes may be safer than purchasing and cleaning by yourself, after all, people have professional personnel and professional tools to clean and select.
But this is based on the prefabricated dishes made by those enterprises with strength, credit and responsibility, and everyone is still more assured of the prefabricated dishes under the big brands.
However, for those unknown small brands, they may not follow the relevant specifications in the process of production and transportation in order to save costs, which may have some problems, so it is recommended that you do not buy those small brands of pre-made dishes.
