Albertsons Companies announces new Open Nature Savory Skillet Meals
24 November 2020 - 12:22AM
As more meals are eaten at home, Albertsons Companies is lending
the home cook a hand with the new flash-frozen Open Nature Savory
Skillet Meals.
Open Nature Savory Skillet Meals are ready in minutes using just
one pan. Featuring on-trend flavors, restaurant quality
presentation and taste, the convenient meals use only high-quality
natural ingredients that are free from antibiotics and artificial
ingredients, flavors, or colors.
“Our culinary experts have created easy and delicious meal
solutions that make all of dinnertime – from prep, to the meal, to
cleanup – more enjoyable for everyone,” said Chad Coester, Senior
Vice President of Own Brands. “We know that this year especially,
busy families are craving more variety at dinner time, and our
savory skillet solutions deliver. While some of the staple flavors
will always be available, we will continue to innovate and
introduce new meals to help keep dinner new and fresh.”
The delicious flavor, nutritional value, and freshness are
locked in with a nitro flash-freezing technology called enrobing.
As the name implies, the sauce is enrobed around the ingredients
and dispenses as it cooks. No defrosting is needed, so these meals
can go straight from the freezer to the dinner table in as little
as ten minutes.
The skillet meals add more depth to the company's lineup of
convenient meal solutions offered by its Own Brands portfolio –
which includes ready-to-eat, ready-to-heat, and ready-to-cook
options. Along with in-store availability, customers can order them
for delivery or pick up through the company's websites and
e-commerce apps.
The easy-to-prepare meals are inspired by traditional home
cooking, restaurant favorites, and global cuisine flavors. The
following flavors are available now:
- Prime rib roast with mushroom gravy
- Chinese style beef with broccoli
- Shrimp scampi with pasta
- Four cheese mac n cheese
- Mexican style pulled pork with pineapple
- Beef stew with vegetables
- Chicken marsala meatballs
- Chicken tikka masala
- Pork roast stroganoff
- Seafood and andouille sausage jambalaya
- Lobster tortellini
- Texas brisket fried rice
