CAN I DOUBLE A RECIPE USING RAGIN’ CAJUN & CAJUN’S CHOICE SEASONING OR MIXES?

Yes! Most recipes can easily be doubled. Simply double the ingredients while maintaining the same cooking method.  Remember, doubling the recommended amounts of seasoning can increase the amount of salt, flavor &/or spice in the products.  It’s always best to taste as you add.   

Conversely, with our sauces & bisque, you can use less liquid (water, stock, or cream) to make the sauce thicker.   Adding meat & seafood to any dish can also increase the amount of water naturally in the sauce.

Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the size of your dish or cooking vessel.

Ragin’ Cajun Foods was founded in Lake Charles in 1980 by former MLB pitcher, Ray Fontenot. In 1984, Tom Riggs establishes Southern Seasonings, which then acquires Ragin’ Cajun foods in 1988.

DO RAGIN’ CAJUN PRODUCTS HAVE A “BEST BY” DATE?

Yes. All of products include a Best By date printed on the packaging to indicate peak freshness and flavor.

While spices and dry mixes may remain safe beyond this date, flavor quality may decline over time.  For our jarred, pre-cooked sauces such as Etouffee, Roux & Creole sauce ALWAYS refrigerate after opening. 

HOW SHOULD I STORE RAGIN’ CAJUN SEASONINGS?

For best flavor, color and quality:

• Store in a cool, dry place
• Keep containers tightly sealed
• Avoid exposure to heat, moisture, or direct sunlight.  Note that light exposure can change the color of spices in shorter time, without necessarily impacting the flavor.
• For our jarred pre-cooked sauces such as Etouffee, Roux & Creole sauce ALWAYS refrigerate after opening. 

Proper storage helps maintain the freshness and potency of the spices.  Also seasoning blends can settle over time so always shake well before using.
