At what temperature should Martin’s® frozen products be stored?
Martin’s® recommends keeping products at 0 degrees F (-18 degrees C) until you are ready to use them.
How should Martin’s® frozen products be thawed for use?
Martin’s® frozen products are “thaw and serve.” When you are ready to use the frozen rolls, thaw them out by leaving them out at room temperature for 24 hours. Then they are ready to be served.
For more detailed instructions, please click here.
After thawing, how long will the frozen rolls last?
In a restaurant setting with many temperature variations, Martin’s® recommends using thawed products within 5 days of thawing for best results. Be sure to keep rolls away from places with extreme temperature fluctuation to keep the integrity of the product.
What is the difference between the fresh and frozen rolls?
Absolutely nothing! Our rolls, both fresh and frozen, are made with the same recipe. In taste tests, there is virtually no difference between rolls that are fresh off of the bakery line versus rolls that have been in the freezer. Having both a fresh and frozen model helps us get Martin’s® rolls into the hands of anyone who wants them both in the US and around the world.
