Rice Cones
Horseshoe Rice Cones 25kg are a versatile kitchen essential, particularly popular in traditional fish and chip shops, takeaways and professional kitchens. Made from 100% natural rice, these finely milled rice particles have a neutral flavour and aroma, making them ideal for food preparation without affecting the taste of your finished dishes.
One of the most popular uses for rice cones is preparing fish before battering. A light coating helps absorb excess surface moisture, allowing fish batter to adhere more evenly and creating a crisp, consistent finish when deep-fried. Rice cones can also be used in baking, as a dusting agent to prevent sticking and in recipes where a rice-based alternative to wheat flour is required.
Key Features:
- Pack Size: 25kg.
- Fine, granular rice-based product.
- Neutral flavour, with no noticeable aroma.
- Suitable for coating, dusting and selected baking applications.
- Economical size for high-volume food preparation.
Recipe Inspiration:
- Traditional Beer-Battered Fish: Lightly dust fish fillets with rice cones before dipping into beer batter to encourage an even coating.
- Crispy Battered Haddock: Use rice cones to absorb excess moisture from haddock fillets before coating and deep-frying until golden.
- Homemade Rice Biscuits: Incorporate rice cones into a suitable biscuit recipe for a delicate, slightly crumbly texture.
- Homemade Pizza Dough: Lightly dust your work surface with rice cones when shaping pizza dough to help prevent sticking.
What is the difference between rice cones and rice flour?
Rice cones are generally a more granular form of milled rice, while rice flour is typically ground to a finer, powder-like consistency. This difference in particle size can affect how each behaves in recipes. Rice cones are particularly useful for surface dusting and coating, whereas finely milled rice flour is often preferred for smooth batters and delicate baking.
Why do fish and chip shops use rice cones before battering fish?
Rice cones help manage surface moisture, which can otherwise prevent batter from gripping the fish evenly. By creating a drier surface, they help the batter form a more consistent coating. This is particularly useful when preparing large quantities of fish for frying.
Can rice cones be used to thicken sauces and soups?
Rice cones can provide thickening in certain recipes because the rice starch absorbs liquid during cooking. However, their granular texture may produce a less smooth finish than cornflour or finely milled rice flour. For delicate sauces, a finer starch is generally the better choice.
