Carnet Foods: Home of Ultra Gel® and Thick Gel

We all know the choices of thickeners available at the grocery store: flour, cornstarch, tapioca, and occasionally arrowroot. Each has its own applications, but they are limited. In today’s fast-paced world, many of us feel a need for more versatile thickeners—ones that are easy to use, thicken without cooking, and remain stable in a wide range of conditions. We want to prepare meals ahead and have them retain a quality we can be proud of. We want more control over what our family eats than we can get with commercially prepared foods. And we want to be able to make our own low-calorie and low-fat products. Not asking for much, are we!

Carnet has accepted the challenge of testing food starches and thickeners originally developed for commercial products and modifying time-tested recipes to take advantage of these superior products in the home. Over the past five years we have experimented with over thirty different food starches in order to ensure our selection of the ultimate instant food starch: Ultra Gel® and Thick Gel! Now you can make pies like those you get at your favorite restaurant. You can freeze convenience foods. And you can decide what goes into each product.

With this Web site come our best wishes for your cooking success. We are convinced that the recipes and ideas within will give you the guidelines and confidence you need to develop your own culinary creations using Ultra Gel® and Thick Gel.
