Keeping food fresh can be the hardest part of meal prep and delivery food. At bistroMD, we cook our food using fresh ingredients and immediately flash freeze and seal the entree.

This method retains all of the juice, flavor, and texture of the meal when reheated. With our technique, all our meals can be kept frozen and fresh until they are ready to be heated and enjoyed.

Every box is packed with dry ice and insulated to keep your meals cold.

This depends on how you heat your meals.

If you are cooking in the microwave, leave the plastic on until after its cooked, and then carefully peel back a corner or puncture the film while watching out for any trapped steam.

If you are cooking in the oven, remove the film before you start heating the meal. Our CPET trays are oven safe to 400°F and leech no harmful chemicals or plastic, but the plastic film wont do well in the oven!

Handling dry ice safely is crucial since it is extremely cold and hovers around -109.3°F. Here are some recommendations:

-To safely dispose of dry ice, remove the entrées from the cooler and leave any remaining dry ice inside the cooler. With the box flaps left loosely opened, allow the dry ice to sublimate in a well-ventilated, safe area away from children or pets.

-Handle dry ice carefully and wear protective clothing/gloves to prevent freezer burn.

-Never dispose of dry ice in a sink, drain, toilet, or garbage can, as doing so can cause severe damage to pipes and surfaces.

-Never store dry ice in a tightly sealed container, such as a plastic or glass bottle, or any container with a screw-top lid that will not vent. Styrofoam is an appropriate storage material since it is both insulated and not airtight.

We use CPET trays that are oven safe to 400°F and leech no harmful chemicals or plastic.

The container has an approximate size of 8.5 in Length x 6.5 in Height x 2 in Width. It is sealed with a thin plastic film that keeps contents contained while shipping.
