One of the most challenging parts of running any business is managing staffing and cash flow. We understand how busy a kitchen can get and wherever you’re able to be more efficient and save time and money in your kitchen, the better. Over the years we honed in on perfecting our overall Safe Sous Vide™ technique, and not just on the finished protein itself. We developed Safe Sous Vide™ products with commercial kitchens in mind, with the intention of not only creating great proteins for your menu creations, but also integrating in labour cost savings by way of faster, simplified preparation and clean-up.

Experience fully cooked protein solutions without all of the additives. Unlike other fully-cooked products on the market, Cardinal’s state-of-the-art Safe Sous Vide™ sealed environment cooking process allows proteins to cook in their natural fats, which creates amazing quality and allows Cardinal to only include minimal ingredients within its products. All you get are the natural flavours of the protein itself, in its most tender and naturally delicious form — from there, your creativity is your only limit!
There’s certainly something romantic about cooking from scratch — but for professional kitchens that know the work it takes to make a complex protein like pork back ribs, pulled pork, or braised beef, it can be a slow, messy process that doesn’t necessarily produce the same quality or flavour every time. Cardinal’s Safe Sous Vide™ proteins are perfectly delicious in no time, everytime, taking the mess, and hassle, out of even the most involved centre of plate proteins. To add to the convenience, Safe Sous Vide™ products are fully cooked, so they don’t have to be frozen. With over a 30-day shelf life in every product, it’s easy to use what you need, when you need it and save the rest.
While it might seem easy enough to consistently replicate a recipe, a sauce flavour profile or a heating recommendation, creating proteins that are consistent is an art that Cardinal has spent the past 25 years perfecting. Whether you’re a restaurant, healthcare or industrial kitchen, you want to know that the proteins you’re using, and ultimately serving to you are customers, offer the same great tasting and eating experience — every time. Unlike other fully-cooked proteins, Cardinal has developed a process to ensure that each of its proteins are perfectly portioned, and consistent in cut and texture, to help ensure your guests enjoy the same perfect dish, every time.
