Wrap each kraut strudel with 2 layers of paper towels. Microwave on High for 30 seconds. Microwaves vary so if the kraut strudel is still cold, microwave in additional increments of 10 seconds.

Kraut strudels can be stored in your freezer in their original wrapper until ready to be eaten.

Fleisch Kuchla

These are sold frozen. To cook, thaw a little bit from frozen state. Deep fry (use about 2 inches high cooking oil) on medium low, turning the kuchla often in order to brown evenly. Do not cook over high heat or else the meat will not be cooked! Serve immediately as is or with ketchup or sweet sour sauce! Be daring and serve with honey mustard and a few drops of spicy hot Tabasco sauce!

SOME INFORMATION ABOUT KUCHEN

Our Kuchens are freezeable! They are stable in your freezer for at least 6 months, 7-10 days in your refrigerator. Although we recommend them to be kept in a cool place like the refrigerator, they are stable in room temperature (70 degrees and lower) for some hours, in their original wrappers.

Kuchen can be served either cold or at room temperature or even slightly warmed. You can warm in the microwave oven or in a conventional oven. Be sure to remove wrappings! Place in a cake pan or cookie sheet and put in a preheated 350 degree conventional oven until warm. To heat in a microwave, heat on HI for a few minutes (for the whole kuchen) or for a few seconds (1 slice). Time depends on the microwave strength, so be sure to check in increments of 10 seconds.

Some flavors are particularly yummy when served warmed....like gourmet flavors with chips ( example: chocolate chip). Fruit flavors can be served cold, which is especially refreshing during the warm months of summer.
