MQ120 Oven Bag Uses Canola Oil as Key Bio-Based Component
The MQ120 Oven Bag has a unique outer layer of blended polyester co-polymer made from renewable canola oil and an inner layer of polyester making the bag recyclable under the SPI resin identification code (RIC) of number 1. This pioneering effort has produced a carbon footprint reduction of 65 percent when compared to customary oven bags.
Unlike most vacuum barrier bags the MQ120 is a high-temperature structure oven-safe up to and including 400 degrees Fahrenheit for foodservice or consumer use. Its ability to withstand high oven temperatures for sustained periods coupled with its non-shrink performance creates a predictable high-temperature environment around the meat that speeds cooking times for products like whole chickens from four hours to 90 minutes. In addition to greater cooking convenience, the MQ120 has zero protein adhesion which produces higher yields because no product is lost when the bag is removed after cooking, also resulting in a more attractive presentation and less messy clean-up since the product’s juices remain in the bag.
