Preparation Instructions
1. Weigh dry ingredients. 2. Weigh water. 3. Add water to bowl chopper. 4. Add dry ingredients to water in bowl chopper. Turn on chopper slow speed to blend water and dry ingredients for 1 minute. 5. Close lid and pull vacuum to at least 94.Watch for excessive foaming. If excessive foaming occurs start knives and bowl high high speed. 6. Chop under vacuum for 3 minutes. 7. Measure pH and record value on this document. 8. VacPac gel. 9. Label and refrigerate prepared gel.
