Home Chef Seasoning & Breading Starter Kit 5.5oz + 5lb

Start Cooking Like a Pro — Your First Kalmes Kit

Since the 1850s, when Peter Kalmes opened his bar in St. Donatus, Iowa, our family has been perfecting bold, crave-worthy flavor. Five generations later, our family restaurant and catering (est. 1980s) proudly brings you this starter kit — the perfect introduction to the Kalmes way of cooking. Pair our legendary 2-in-1 Seasoning & Tenderizer with Golden Dipt's professional-grade breading mix for restaurant-quality results right in your own kitchen.

The 5.5oz seasoning is the ideal starter size — enough to season and tenderize dozens of meals. The 5 lb Golden Dipt breading delivers a golden, crunchy coating that holds up in the oven, air fryer, or pan. Together, they cover every step from raw to table.
