Kleur van hamburgers

Kleur van hamburgers

Over de kleur van hamburgers.

We denken nogal snel dat rood de normale kleur van vlees is. 

Dit klopt slechts gedeeltelijk.

De kern van een stuk vlees is inderdaad meestal rood.

De buitenzijde van een stuk vlees ook, maar meestal anders, en dit varieert naarmate het vlees langer of minder lang in contact heeft gestaan met zuurstof.

Bij het eerste contact met zuurstof kleurt het nog sneller en feller rood. Maar na enige tijd wordt die buitenzijde bruiner.

Bij sommige vleessoorten sneller en bij andere trager.

Een bijkomende kleursverandering ontstaat indien het vlees ( zoals bij het versnijden) eerst aan zuurstof wordt blootgesteld en daarna terug gevacumeerd wordt. Dit kan een schokeffect teweegbrengen.Het vlees kan rood blijven of donkerder gaan kleuren. Meer nog, het effect is onvoorspelbaar. De ene vleessoort wel de andere niet.

Grosso modo kunnen we stellen dat heel malse vleessoorten gevoeliger zijn voor kleursverandering dan andere.

Dit alles is de reden waarom onze hamburgers soms roder of soms veel bruiner kunnen kleuren. 

Ze worden van verschillende soorten vlees gemaakt, de samenstelling kan varieren. En soms doet dit verschijnsel zich voor en soms ook niet.

Omdat we met heel kleine batchen werken, is het zelfs mogelijk dat binnen uw bestelling, sommige hamburgers er anders uitzien dan andere.

Hoe komt het dat andere hamburgers dan veel minder verkleuren of er altijd gelijk uit zien?

Quasi elke hamburger ter wereld, elke worst, elk gehaktproduct bevat één of meerdere kleurbehoudenede middelen. Deze zijn uiteraard door de wet toegestaan. Het is niet omdat deze producten  toegelaten worden dat ze lekker of gezond zijn.

Het gebruik van zo'n middel zorgt ervoor dat gehaktproducten er ten allen tijd mooi rood uitzien.

Niet bij Gustor dus. We steken liever meer energie in uitleggen hoe dit natuurlijke proces tot stand komt, dan dergelijke middelen te gebruiken.

  • Delivery

    Gustor Meat Boutique delivers delicious fresh meat at home, at work, or on holiday.
    (Benelux and France)

    ATTENTION PLEASE:DURING THE END OF YEAR PERIOD, OTHER THAN NORMAL DELIVERY DAYS AND DELIVERY TIMES APPLY. PLEASE SEE OUR INSPIRATION PAGE)

    Ordered before 9 a.m., delivered before 8 p.m. the next day. If you did not choose a time block option, your order will be delivered as standard between 8 am and 8 pm. For this we enter into a contract with Dynalogic of DHL to deliver between 8 am and 6 pm. After all, we know that the driver is sometimes delayed during the day. The expected time of delivery that you receive from the courier service is therefore never an absolute certainty. How should you interpret the time blocks? Not as an absolute certainty. The morning delivery time block will certainly guarantee that you can serve the meat for dinner, but not that we can guarantee you an appointment at 1.15 pm away from home. In most cases this will work, but it is not a certainty, anything can happen along the way. Afternoon delivery guarantees that you do not need to be home until 1 pm. We deliver from Tuesday to Saturday, but you can always order.

    You can follow the order via a track & trace code, which arrives in your mailbox one day before delivery. The Gustor package is sent under guarantee via Dynalogic or DHL. Don't be alarmed if you receive a message from our DYNALOGIC courier service a few days prior to your delivery. This does not mean that your order has already been shipped, but that we have already reserved a window on their routes for your package for the day in question. Courier services are sometimes overcrowded and in this way we ensure a good delivery. On the day preceding your delivery, you will receive an email from us informing you that your order will be cut, packed and shipped.

    As a customer, it is not permitted to change your delivery appointment with the courier service yourself. Changes must always be made via Gustor. Your own agreements with the courier service are outside the responsibility of Gustor

    It is important to know that we always send fresh and chilled and never frozen - unless otherwise stated on the website. Thanks to the refrigerated packaging, we can guarantee our customers an optimal taste experience. The meat therefore remains refrigerated after delivery! Ideal for those who deliver at the reception of the office or workshop.

    If the meat is not delivered in excellent condition, the customer gets his money back. That is the Gustor guarantee.

  • Pickup

    Gustor Meat Boutique also has a Pick-Up store in Koksijde, where orders can be picked up for free.

    The address of the Pick-Upstore is Zeelaan 205, Koksijde. Open from Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 12 noon.

Didn’t receive a confirmation email? Be sure to check your spam box! The mail with the track & trace code can also be found there.

Would you rather have had your meat on the day itself? Call us: +32 473 60 06 22

When stored under 7 ° C, the vacuum packaging guarantees a total freshness of 8 days after reception. For poultry this is four days with a storage under 4 ° C.

In the freezer you can keep the meat for up to six months.

All products are shipped fresh - and therefore not frozen - unless stated otherwise on the website. No product was previously frozen.

A special announcement about smell, color and taste. Gustor Meat Boutique products are top products, usually matured and always full of flavor. If you have no experience with such products, you will undoubtedly notice that our products usually have a specific smell. Also, the slightly browner, matured color is different from the meat that you find in the supermarket.

This is completely normal. For example, an odorless wine cannot possibly be a top wine, and the color evolves as the wine ripens longer.

Because we work with fresh products, it is possible that a product is no longer available. Keep an eye on the website or email us to see when something is available again.

Delicious (and) fresh meat guaranteed, thanks to a combination of cooling and insulation.

The meat is cut to size as desired. Ordered multiple items? These are first individually vacuum packed, so hygiene and safety remain guaranteed. The packaged meat then goes into an insulating EPS (polystyrene) box, which keeps the meat in excellent condition during shipping.

At Gustor Meat Boutique we attach great importance to the environment. The packaging was specially designed by us and is environmentally friendly. The enclosed cooling elements are perfectly reusable and have been certified by an independent inspection body: non-toxic and suitable for cooling foodstuffs - in full compliance with the rules of the FASFC. If you still want to discard the box, it is good to know that EPS is perfectly recyclable.

Our meat is never sent frozen, unless otherwise stated on the website.

In order to guarantee our customers an optimal taste experience with our exceptional quality meats, we always deliver fresh and chilled products.

If the meat is not delivered in optimal conditions, the customer is reimbursed. This is the Gustor guarantee.

All weights on the website of Gustor Meat Boutique are global weights that make a payment in advance possible. The actual weight of the meat can differ, because the order is in its total weighted.

Gustor Meat Boutique guarantees that the difference between the two will never be greater than 5%. If the delivered weight proves to be more than the originally given weight, the customer obviously does not have to pay.

Should the difference still be greater than 5%, Gustor Meat Boutique provides a refund in cash.

The difference between the two weights is calculated with a subtraction sum and then multiplied by the average price per kilo of the purchased goods.

La race n’est pas le seul paramètre essentiel dans la qualité d’une viande. Le ‘terroir’ - le milieu dans lequel l’animal a vécu - et la nourriture qu’il a reçue sont autant d'éléments cruciaux. Les Highlands écossais, les Alpes autrichiennes, les forêts des Landes sont autant d’environnements qui garantissent une plus-value dans la qualité de la viande. Nous sommes constamment à la recherche de ces viandes provenant de ces régions d’exception. Il est évident qu’une viande de vache Holstein qui a passé des années dans un élevage laitier aux Pays-Bas n’a rien en commun avec celle du même type d’animal qui s'est nourri dans les herbages des Alpes autrichiennes.

Vous recevrez un couriel de confirmation immédiatement après votre commande. Dès cet instant, l’adresse de livraison ne peut plus être modifiée. Nous tenons ainsi éviter tout risque de confusion qui entraîneait un retard de plusieurs jours.
