Comprehensive Review of Four Peacock Frozen Food Varieties

Even if you love eating delicious food and cooking, sometimes it can be tough just to take care of yourself properly. To prepare for such times, you should always keep convenient yet tasty frozen foods stocked in your freezer. Today, we have prepared a review of commonly found PEACOCK frozen food products. PEACOCK is a lifestyle brand proposing a new food culture centered around convenient home meals. They offer various menus fitting different concepts like PEACOCK Bunsik and PEACOCK Pocha. Today, we will take an in-depth look at four types. Here comes the editor’s honest review!

[PEACOCK Bunsik] Johnsonville Crispy Hot Dog

When your child’s snack runs out, I recommend keeping hot dogs stocked in a corner of your freezer. If you alternate between microwave and air fryer cooking, the hot dogs will be quite similar to those from the famous hot dog shop MyeongO Hot Dog. They are sold for 10,980 KRW with four pieces included, so each costs about 2,700 KRW. Considering hot dog prices, it might seem a bit expensive, but once you take a bite, that thought will disappear immediately. The reason is the Johnsonville sausage made from fresh pork. The juicy sausage inside the crispy and savory bread is amazing. The juicy ‘pop!’ and crunchy texture make the price understandable. People of all ages will definitely applaud this.

■ One-line review: Wow, this sausage is no joke!!!

[PEACOCK Pocha] Smoked Makchang

If you want to enjoy a drink alone after a long time but have no side dishes, it can be frustrating. High delivery fees and portions too large for one person can make you give up solo drinking. But in your fridge, PEACOCK Pocha Smoked Makchang is waiting for you. It comes with two packs each of sauce and makchang, making storage very convenient. When you grill it crispy in a frying pan or air fryer, the subtle smoky aroma stimulates your nose. The oak wood smoke scent is strong, so there is no unpleasant odor at all. I want to give high marks for both flavor and chewy texture. The sauce is a soybean paste sauce, and it tastes just like the makchang from Daegu, famous for this dish, so I highly recommend buying and trying it. Grill onions or garlic to your liking and complete your own solo drinking feast. Since it drips a lot of oil, if you plan to use an air fryer, please line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

■ One-line review: Please release a spicy version too, PEACOCK.

Whole Cheese Cutlet

How can life be without pork cutlet? From Western-style king-size pork cutlets soaked in sauce to Japanese-style katsu eaten with salt or mustard, there are many varieties. I bought PEACOCK’s Whole Cheese Cutlet and enjoyed it crispy after air frying. When cut in half, you can see cheese flowing like a waterfall. The harmony of savory and salty cheese, thick meat that tears along the grain, and the crispy batter coating is something everyone will understand without further explanation. It tastes similar to what you get at most pork cutlet specialty restaurants. However, since it doesn’t come with sauce, rice, salad, or side dishes, considering the price of 10,980 KRW, I don’t think it’s a cost-effective product. It contains four pieces and is easy to store, so I recommend it for people living alone!

■ One-line review: Tasty but leaves something to be desired in terms of price...★

Quattro Cheese Burrito Bulgogi

This burrito only requires heating in the microwave or air fryer without any complicated cooking process. Since you don’t need to prepare anything else to eat with it, it’s the most convenient among today’s recommendations. Inside the chewy tortilla are mozzarella, cheddar, gouda, and parmesan cheeses, making it delicious and fun to stretch the cheese. It contains sweetly seasoned bulgogi, onions, and bell peppers, adding texture. However, if you ask whether PEACOCK’s Quattro Cheese Burrito Bulgogi is delicious, the editor’s personal opinion is that it’s not worthy of high praise. It’s excellent as a snack but don’t expect high quality.
