The Advantages of Using a Dredge Band for Labeling

 

Spices and herbs are important for seasoning food. They are what enhances the flavor of food and makes food tasty and interesting to eat. While most of these herbs and spices are added during meal preparation, there are times when there is a need for further additions after the meal is done. On the other hand, some herbs and spices may need to be added at mealtimes.

As an aside, you can read about the importance of seasoning here.

When spices are needed to be used during meal times, dredge shakers are used to add the spice to the meal. They allow the spice application to be used in a controlled way so that it is not too much to the point that the food cannot be eaten.

Dredger shakers can be made with different materials including metal, plastic and glass. They are ideal for restaurants, diners, canteens, cafeterias, coffee shops and even for use in the home. They are also convenient for use by everyone whether you are a cook, guest at a dinner table or a barista adding cinnamon powder to a latte. Dredge shaker lids come with varying sizes of holes that allow spices to pass through unto a plate of food or a cup of coffee or tea.

Common seasonings or spices that can be put in dredge shakers include salt, chili pepper powder, pizza sauce, cinnamon, flour, black pepper, dried parsley, onion powder, and many others.

Labeling Seasonings

In a restaurant, café or kitchen that uses several seasonings, it is essential that the dredger shakers be appropriately labeled for identification purposes. Some spices are similar in appearance and it may be hard to tell one apart from the other just by looking at them. Tasting the spice may also not be an option as it may be harsh when put directly in the mouth.

Proper labeling helps to quickly and easily identify the correct seasoning to use and to avoid a mix-up that can lead to food having an unpleasant taste. You can make use of a dredge band rather than strips of tapes that can look tacky.
