Our Pumpkin Pies are absolute garbage. The recipe on the cans of Pumpkin we use is better than the poo poo we make. If you buy a Pumpkin Pie from costco you're a dumbass

Toxic Mental posted:How does Costco get carrot cake so insanely right but gently caress up pumpkin pies Naw it's the same poo poo you get in the stores. The problem with the Pumpkin Pies is there's so many places they can go wrong that you're pretty much always going to gently caress them up. 1.They're bland, like all costco freshfare they're just made to be plain. The ingredients are literally Pie mix, Pumpkin, water, Cornstarch, and Eggs. 2.We're making industrial levels of product in commercial level facilities. For example during the month of Thanksgiving we do about 20,000 pies. We have two mixers, each one of which can only mix 80 pies at once and this is overfulling them it should only be sixty. That's 250 bowls of pies to make, then we need to pump them into the shells one at a time, bake them for an hour in the oven, one hour of floor time, and one hour in the freezer all before they're wrapped. Basically to keep up on the production we need one person full time mixing one person pressing shells, one person filling and two people wrapping. This is in addition to all the other items like Cakes and Muffins that need to be hand mixed and dropped or cookies that need to be panned up. Further more those pie crusts are also all made by hand, so in addition to 250 bowls of Pie we need 100 bowls of crusts made and frozen before the season even starts. Each one of the crusts needs to be mixed from blocks of shortening and flour, weighed, pressed in a mold, divided out onto sheet pans and then frozen before being palatized. People rush this and gently caress the crusts up all the time which makes them not hold their shape when you press them, if you seen ones with soft crowns that's probably what happened. 3. Our equipment is not made to handle the volume we have. We have one heated pie press that we need to operate continuously. If it's too hot it melts the shortening inside the crust and ruins it's texture. If it's too cold then the crust sticks and you have to scrape it off and lose time and product. So when we run it for so long at a time it gets cold which ruins the pies, so people turn in up which makes it too hot and ruins the pies. Our Pneumatic pump is also fully not ready for the amount we do. For pushing a rack or two it's fine but for continuous operation like we do it breaks down constantly with seals slipping out and pie mix spraying everywhere, which means we need to stop everything we're doing break down something with entirely too many parts, clean and dry them, and then put them all back together again only for it to break again in a few racks. Plus if the thing does stay together our air compressor can't keep up which means the per pie volume gets hosed up which means we need to hand pour until it builds the tank back up. 4. Costco is a retail operation not a food service operation and they operate on retail logic, i.e. more bodies equals more quick. But when you send a bunch of chuckle fucks who don't want to be back there into a slow moving disaster of a dept someone, read me, needs to spend most of their shifts making sure they're making at least a small amount of actual effect on our actual operations instead of just eating our labor dollars for no gain. 5. We need to raise the drat price

Pizza's are fresh, but I don't think we sell take and bakes anymore. They had a push awhile back to try and make the pizza better, put in proofers to get the dough proofed right since so many people were just using it straight out the cooler. Personally I think they put too many toppings on. The Cheese is 1#8oz of cheese, that's too much. The Chicken bakes come in frozen now which is nice cause it sucked making those every morningjeeves posted:I’ve made pizzas in my teenage years and raw sausage loving sucks to work with and try to get into pizzas.

I've never had a bad experience at a Papa Murphy's. They're always clean and the staff always seems pretty happy to be working there. Not having the stress of delivery or baking the pizzas must do wonders for them

Homie, critical thinking skills. Their store distribution does not follow maps of economically depressed areas. Their franchising model is based on their reduced equipment, store size, and staffing needs because of their lack of hot food. The SNAP sales are a coincidence.

Having found the pot pie bland some years back we ended up going with the sheperd's and it was an excellent decision - this thing is delicious. At home? You just make a thick stew and cover it with mashed potatoes
