How to heat your meals

Heat your meals directly from the freezer or after being thawed in the fridge within 48 hours.

To heat in a microwave:

1. Remove the tray from the outer cardboard sleeve. Do not remove or puncture the clear film.
2. Follow the heating instructions and time printed on the outer sleeve.
3. Let stand covered for 1 minute before serving.

To heat in a toaster or convection oven:

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (do not exceed 400°F).
2. Remove the plastic film from the tray.
3. Place all entrée contents into an oven-safe baking dish or put a pan under the plastic tray. Don’t worry, our CPET trays are oven safe to 400°F and do not release any harmful chemicals or plastic! (Read more about how your meals are packaged here.)
4. Heating times can vary based on many factors, although we recommend heating until the internal temperature is at least 165°F.
5. Remove from oven and allow to sit for 1-2 minutes.

For both heating methods, please handle the heated meal with caution as the meal and packaging will be hot.
