It’s Time to Enjoy Something Betr!

Thanks for joining thousands of Betr Members who’ve decided to treat themselves to delicious, healthy, gourmet food at unbeatable prices!

We want to make sure you enjoy your Betr Meals at their best, so here we have provided our recommended best practices for reheating, freezing, and EATING!

Are you looking for some menu-specific recipe suggestions? The menu below has some recommendations for preparing and pairing some of our favorite Betr Meals!

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.
