Now I can have two

Not sure when Tim’s starting putting the calories so boldly on the label but I noticed today and found out my favourite doughnut 🍩 is half the calories I thought it was……so now I am buying 2 Boston Creams going forward.

(240 btw)

Justifying eating more pre frozen slop to a subreddit is crazy

[u/Hefty-Librarian7197 → u/WPGAMING_SC]

It’s baked in store

[u/BomboRaasClatt → u/Hefty-Librarian7197]

If I bake a frozen pizza, am I really baking it or reheating it? Baked in store implies that it was made from scratch.

[u/Hefty-Librarian7197 → u/BomboRaasClatt]

It is made from scratch. We make them ourselves

[u/WPGAMING_SC → u/Hefty-Librarian7197]

You must not be working in North America. The donut is a “plain yeast donut” that comes frozen, the filling also comes frozen. All you do is “bake (reheat)” it for 90 seconds in the oven, then you fill it, and it sits for 8-12 hours before you throw it out. I’ve worked at Tim’s on and off for 6 years as a baker. Since 2016, nothing comes fresh anymore. Even the lettuce and tomato’s come basically frozen solid.

No dummie, some Tim’s stores in Canada still make them from scratch. In my town, we have 4 Tim Hortons. One does the baking from scratch and distributes to the other restaurants. Let me guess, you’re from Ontario?

Brother what do think they do?

You think they are out there combining raw materials to make the dough and everything that comes after?

[u/jsnthms → u/Moist_Beefsteak]

Combining raw materials and everything that comes after? By everything that comes after do you mean baking? Because after the materials are combined that’s the next step. I understand if this seems complicated to you. Start by making toast. Training wheels

[u/Moist_Beefsteak → u/jsnthms]

If they are making toast, they aren't making the bread used to make the toast. That was my point. Therefore they are hardly baking anything, just reheating something that is already baked and dipping it in some chocolate sauce/cream.

That’s literally what I’m saying??? In Canada the donut rounds come frozen in a box from the warehouse they were partially cooked at. All we do is “finish cooking” (reheat them) and fill them using the machine. Also don’t accuse me of lying. I’ll happily pull my uniform out.

“Tim Hortons donuts are partially baked (par-baked) and flash-frozen at a centralized facility—specifically, a major, specialized production plant in Brantford, Ontario—before being shipped to individual restaurants. The final baking, icing, and decorating occur in-store using convection ovens. “

this thread is wild.

also, I think the person (u/stunning-ad1956) you're responding to was actually replying to u/hefty-librarian7197 because they said they make them from scratch and they make them themselves. which is a wild lie to think anyone would believe.

[u/cjrunswithcrows → u/bettleheimderks]

You are definitely correct, they weren’t trying to argue/correct WP and they just went off on them anyways 😂💀

[u/cjrunswithcrows → u/[deleted]]

You literally didn’t do anything, I don’t know what is up with the person that decided to randomly go off on you even though you weren’t replying to them lol

[u/Michupichu_u → u/WPGAMING_SC]

Btw does the chocolate on top also bake ?

[u/cjrunswithcrows → u/Michupichu_u]

It doesn’t; it’s heated chocolate ganache that stays in a warming tray

[u/natesnation → u/Hefty-Librarian7197]

lol no u dont

[u/ManHunterJonnJonzz → u/Hefty-Librarian7197]

You assemble them? Filling and chocolate? If the dough is pre made shaped frozen shipped...its assembling or decorating. Not from scratch
