Reheat Instructions

CONVENTIONAL OVEN (BEST METHOD)

If frozen: Thaw overnight in the refrigerator for best results.*

To reheat:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove any plastic, cardboard, or other non-oven-safe lids and cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Place on a baking sheet; heat until the center reaches 165°F when checked with an instant-read thermometer.

  • Begin checking at 20 minutes for smaller (two-person) entrees and side dishes.

  • Begin checking at 30 minutes for larger entrees.

Tips for best results:

  • Keep covered to prevent drying.

  • Rotate the dish midway through reheating for even warming. 

  • Smaller items (such as hot appetizers) will heat more quickly. Begin checking sooner.

MICROWAVE (QUICK METHOD)

If frozen: Thaw overnight in the refrigerator for best results.*

  • Transfer food to a microwave-safe dish and cover with a vented microwave-safe lid or loosely tent with microwave-safe wrap.

  • Microwave on 100% power in 2-minute intervals, rotating the dish between intervals, until the center reaches 165°F when checked with an instant-read thermometer. (Note that smaller items, such as appetizers, should be reheated for 1 minute to start and 30- second intervals thereafter).

  • Allow food to rest for 1–2 minutes before serving (heat continues to distribute). 

GOOD TO KNOW

  • Unless otherwise specified, all items are fully cooked; reheating is for serving temperature and food safety. 

  • Heat gently - overheating can dry out proteins and break sauces.

  • Remove any packaging that is not oven- or microwave-safe before reheating.

  • Food will be hot - take appropriate care.


* In a hurry? Transfer to a microwave-safe dish and use the defrost setting to thaw before reheating—just take care not to start cooking the edges.
