We know that sometimes our appliances can have a mind of their own. These best practices are just suggestions and should be adjusted based on your preferences and the variability between individual microwaves or stoves.

MICROWAVE

  • Put desired serving into a microwave-safe dish (remember, each tray = 4 servings!)

  • Microwave a single serving for 1 minute (four minutes for a whole tray)

  • Adjust based on your specific appliance and preferences*

OVEN

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

  • Put desired serving into an oven-safe dish (remember, each tray = 4 servings!)

  • Cover food with foil

  • Cook for 7-10 minutes, or to your desired temperature*

STOVETOP

  • Spray a skillet or appropriate-sized pot with grapeseed oil or low-sodium broth to reduce sticking

  • Place desired servings into the pot over medium heat

  • Cook for 3-5 minutes or to your desired temperature*

FREEZING

  • All of our meals (including veggies) are FREEZER FRIENDLY!

  • Separate each tray into individual servings (each tray = 4 servings)

  • Place individual servings into appropriately sized freezer bags

  • Freeze

DEFROSTING

  • We recommend defrosting your desired servings in the refrigerator for 5-6 hours.

  • While we recommend the above method for defrosting; we have had client requests for Air-Fryer defrosting tips.

    • We'd recommend starting at 350 degrees for 3-5 minutes if frozen and adding more time from there as needed.

REHEATING FROM FROZEN

  • Instant-Pot:

    • Remove portion from the freezer bag

    • Place desired servings into Instant-Pot

    • Add ½ cup of low-sodium, organic vegetable broth

    • Steam for 7-10 minutes, or to your desired temperature*

  • Stovetop:

    • Remove portion from the freezer bag

    • Place desired servings into a pot or pan

    • Add ⅓ cup of low sodium, organic vegetable broth

    • Cover and cook on LOW for 10-15 minutes, or to your desired temperature*

*Our meals are prepared in clean, safe environments with the highest-quality ingredients and to all relevant food-preparation safety standards, but you should always reheat prepared foods to USDA-recommended safe temperatures. All of our meat is hormone/antibiotic free and fish are wild-caught.
