reheating instructions

 

General Tips​

Microwave: Reheat on 50-70% power for even heating, 1–2 minutes at a time, stirring halfway through if possible.

 

Stovetop: Use medium-low heat and add a splash of water or broth if needed.

 

Air Fryer: Perfect for crispy items like Chicken Parm or roasted potatoes. Heat at 350°F for 3–6 minutes, checking often.

​​​

Why We Use 50-70% Power:

Even Heating: High power can heat the outside of your food too quickly while leaving the center cold. Using 50% power allows the heat to penetrate more evenly.

 

Moisture Retention: Slower reheating helps prevent proteins like chicken, salmon, and steak, as well as grains and veggies, from drying out.

Better Texture: Foods maintain their intended texture and flavor instead of becoming tough or rubbery.

Microwave (Optional)

Microwave on full power for 60 seconds partially covered to rehydrate the tortilla.

Flip wrap, then microwave an additional 30 seconds on full power.

Let rest for 15–20 seconds before eating, allowing moisture to evaporate from the tortilla.

STEAK / MEDIUM RARE BEEF

For perfectly reheated beef that tastes as if it were just cooked, use 50% power in 30-second intervals. This gently warms the meat without continuing to cook it, preserving the care and precision that goes into every dish.

 

Sauces & Dressings

 

If your meal comes with sauce on the side and it’s meant to be served hot:

 

Remove the lid — cups are microwave safe, but lids are not.

 

Microwave until warm.

​​

Proteins & Bowls

 

Reheat chicken, beef, salmon, and other proteins on 50% power to avoid overcooking.

 

For bowls with multiple components: heat grains/veggies first, then top with your protein and finish reheating.

​​

Pasta

Microwave: Add 1–2 tbsp of water or cream to the container, cover loosely, and heat on 50% power for 1–2 minutes, stirring halfway through.

 

Stovetop: Reheat in a pan over medium-low heat, adding a splash of water or cream if needed to loosen the sauce.

 

Stir halfway through for even heating.

​​

Crispy Items

For Chicken Parm, roasted potatoes, roasted vegetables, or anything breaded, use:

 

Air Fryer or Oven: 350°F until hot to maintain crunch.

​​

Specialty Items

Some dishes need a little extra care for the best results:

Ramen & Noodle Soups: Heat broth separately until hot, then pour over noodles and toppings.

 

Stir-Fries & Fried Rice: Best reheated in a pan over medium heat to keep texture.

Burgers & Sandwiches: Remove sauces, reheat protein/bun separately, then reassemble.
