Our Bagels should not be thawed on the counter top and then consumed! Since we do not use any preservatives in our products, it is safe to consume the bagels if they defrost, but ok to put them in the freezer, but they will be hard if they refreeze them. Make sure they remain in the freezer until you are ready to use them. Once you are ready to eat the, the preparation instructions are as follows:
- Air fry the bagels 375 for 6-8 minutes.
- Microwave for 60-90 seconds (until soft), separate, and toast to your liking.
- Bake in the oven/toaster oven at 375 for 12-15 minutes or
- Please note all cooking appliances may vary slightly, reaching an internal temperature of 180 will yield the best results
our story
Growing up, every Sunday our kitchen was a shrine to bagels. Everything bagels with whitefish salad was my JAM! When my Sister and Grandfather were diagnosed with Celiac Disease, I saw how much they struggled to find safe food and how much they craved their favorites. I set out on a mission to change that - to help connect people everywhere with the foods they’ve been missing and make meal time, family time again.
