We eventually figured out a cooking sequence that prevents tortillas from becomming soggy in the microwave. Then we can warm them to order, and not throw away a taco ever again!įiguring out taco recipes has been very iterative. This allows us to make tacos fresh and freeze them right away. UNTIL NOW! (Queue hero music) We started leasing commercial kitchen space nearby so we can make our own dang tacos! But here's the (innovative?) part: we wrap them in deli sheets instead of foil. Did the vendor have a bunch of taco delivery stops, and we were last on the list? We've never had any issues - it helps that all our food is vegan - but realistically, fresh tacos in a warmer are not really fresh.Īlas, without kitchens, warmer tacos are the best us coffee shops can do. Who knows how old they really are though. Us shops, we have to throw away vendor tacos after 4 hours of sitting in the warmer.
You may have noticed that we began introducing our own ta-ta-tacos in June.

I very much feel that we are in a transition this July the seeds were planted in June, but the harvest isn't until August. In this episode of Dear Diary's Sometimes-Monthly Newsletter, I would like to fill you in on the things we're working on. Thanks for braving the heat to stop in for iced drinks!
As for the testing units themselves, well, they’ve disappeared now. The Recool promises to keep ice frozen for up to 12 hours, but we found in our testing that the cold lasts for more like six or eight depending on how much food or drink you have in there, a result similar to what we saw in our testing of Styrofoam equivalents. We tested the Recool and a number of cheap, comparably sized foam competitors, filling them up with ice (both types held roughly 16 quarts) and then waiting, measuring the accumulated meltwater over time. The Recool’s wood-pulp material (similar to papier-mâché), bound with a biodegradable wax called alkyl ketene dimer, doesn’t dissolve when wet. The Igloo Recool lives up to the hype: It’s as effective as a polystyrene cooler and reusable a few times, and it composts easily. Why it’s great: A disposable cooler is always a backup option, but there are times when it’s nearly unavoidable, such as when you’re caught out at a picnic or having a lucky day fishing.
