Glazing Butters™ make cooking seafood simple and more approachable for busy families
January 12, 2024 - Jeff Kudrick grew up on the docks of Montauk. These experiences launched a passion for seafood and a respect for the ocean from his many interactions with the people who made their living from it. Jeff’s passion for the ocean is supplemented by his creativity and passion for cooking. Over the years, he created a sauce which until now, only his friends and family could experience.
In 2021, Jeff was accepted to the Rutgers University Food Innovation Center, to develop his sauces and bring them to market. Working with Rutgers, it became clear, that he discovered a brand-new food category, Glazing Butter™.
This new food category has amazing qualities which we are so proud to be able to share.
- Can be used to broil, bake, sauté, for grilling, as a cooking sauce, condiment, finishing sauce, base, pasta sauce, for seafood, vegetables and plant-based proteins.
- Plant-based using mushrooms to naturally emulsify and thicken, with no artificial fillers or preservatives.
- Rich, savory flavors typically only achieved with heavy proteins.
- Very approachable and easy to use.
In a 2019 SeafoodSource article[1] American Seafoods CEO Mikel Durham agreed that consumers are looking for easier meal solutions. “They’re not looking for a long thing to do when they get home. When people are shopping for fish, we have to show them what we can do with it, and we have to make it look easy,” Durham said. “We can’t just focus on [the appeal of] raw [seafood]. We have to stimulate consumers to believe they can master this when they get home and its going to be tasty.”
