Convenience Meat Trends. Time saving ideas for busy families.
Convenience Meat Trends is an area that we know very well at Archers Butchers here in Norwich. Our family has dedicated what’s now into a fourth generation of bringing the finest meats to our community since 1929.
Over the decades, we’ve seen how the needs and preferences of our customers have evolved into a society that has less time than ever. Families work longer hours and have less time to cook and prepare meals.
High welfare convenience meat gives families and individuals the choice to enjoy family time without having to sacrifice quality or provenance.
In recent years, the meat industry has seen a notable shift towards convenience leading to an increased demand for products that can help speed up meal preparation.
Pre-cut, pre-marinated and ready-prepared meats are at the forefront of this trend, offering a practical solution for those who want to enjoy delicious, home-cooked meals without the hassle of extensive prep work and without purchasing heavily processed meals.
More and more of our customers are turning to our pre-cut and pre-marinated products and we’re increasing our selections all the time.
The Rise of Convenience Meat Shopping
Pre-cut meats save time by eliminating the need for customers to cut and portion their meat. This is particularly beneficial for those who might not have the skills or tools to cut meat efficiently.
By offering pre-cut options, we ensure that each piece is perfectly sized and ready to cook, making meal preparation faster and more straightforward.
Pre-marinated meats, on the other hand, take convenience a step further.
Marinating meat can be a time-consuming process that requires planning ahead. Great marination can take 24 or even 36 hours, so planning is essential. By providing meats that are already marinated, we allow our customers to enjoy flavourful, tender meat without the wait.
This is ideal for spontaneous dinners or when you need to prepare a meal quickly. With ready meals, we do all the legwork, and you literally have to heat and serve.
Conevience meat really works and can be as healthy as you want it to be.
There is a huge difference out there in the type of quality and the levels of ingredients that are found in pre-prepared ready meals.
With our range, you know that our meats are locally sourced, the quality is the very highest and we do our uttermost to ensure additives are kept to a minimum.
At Archers Butchers, we pride ourselves on our extensive range of convenience meat products. Here are some of the popular options that have become favorites among our customers:
Chicken Breasts
