Cooking Tips

Bacon

All Superior's Brand bacon must be cooked. You can choose to do this in the microwave, by broiling, or on top of the stove. The method you choose does not alter the degree of cooking that must be achieved for safety. Follow the guidelines on the package, and use your personal taste preference to determine the degree of crispness that satisfies you and your family.

Ham

All of Superior's Brand hams are fully smoked and ready to eat. You may serve them cold or heat them. To heat, preheat the oven to 325º. Place the ham, uncovered, into the oven until the desired degree of brownness is achieved. Then cover with foil and continue to heat to an internal temperature of 135º to 140º. This takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes per pound.

Wieners

Superior's Brand hot dogs (wieners) can be prepared in the oven, on the grill, in the microwave, on top of the stove, or in other appliances. Read your appliances' instructions for guidelines. Remember, though, that like all other meat products, hot dogs should reach an internal temperature of at least 155°  for a minimum of 15 seconds to be considered safe for consumption. After that temperature is achieved, the level of browning is a matter of personal preference.

Deli

Superior's Brand deli products are ready to eat directly from the package. Served hot or cold you will find our deli line of products to be satisfying and delicious. These products meet or exceed all of our high standards for food safety throughout the preparation, packaging and storage process. You can be assured of receiving a high quality product.

Lunch Meat

Superior's Brand lunch meats are all ready to eat so cooking is not necessary. However, keeping the products refrigerated until ready to server is extremely important to maintain freshness.
