reheating instructions
General Tips
Microwave: Reheat on 50% 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% 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.
This Week’s Notes
(jan 18-24)
We want your meals to taste as fresh as the day we made them.
Follow these tips for the best results:
Pierogis (Loaded & Funghi)
Microwave uncovered at 70% power for 90 seconds, or until heated through.
Top with Creme Fraiche.
Birria Enchiladas
Pop one corner and heat at 70% power in 60–90 second intervals until warmed throughout. This allows the tortillas to lightly steam, improving overall texture.
Heating too aggressively may dry out the tortillas and cheese.
Top with Lime Crema.
⚠️ Hurtberry Farms Xolo Hot Sauce is incredibly hot (8/10 on the heat scale).
While the sauce is borderline addictive in terms of it's flavour, we recommend exercising caution if you're not used to this level of heat. For the best overall experience in terms of flavour and heat management, dip the tines of your fork in the hot sauce prior to taking a bite rather than pouring over.
Smoked Brisket
Remove the brisket from the top.
Heat the base at full power for 60 seconds.
Reheat the brisket separately at 50% power in 60-second intervals until warmed throughout.
Finish with pickled onions.
Maple Blood Orange Salmon / Halloumi
Remove the salmon / halloumi from the rice before reheating.
Heat rice and brussels sprouts at 70% power in 60-second intervals, stirring between intervals.
Optional: Air fry Brussels sprouts for 2-3 minutes at 375F for the best texture.
For the Salmon: Reheat skin side down in a nonstick pan over medium heat with a splash of oil for 2-3 minutes to re-crisp the skin, flip and heat the top for another 2-3 minutes, or air fry for 3-4 minutes at 375F skin side up until warmed through.
OR
Microwave at 50% power in 60 second intervals. Discard skin after reheat.
For the Halloumi: Pan fry in a nonstick pan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side.
OR
Microwave at 70% power for 60 seconds.
Finish with pomegranate arils and pickled beets.
Peri-peri chicken / cauliflower
Remove the chicken / cauliflower from the top.
Reheat the rice and vegetables at 70% power in 60-second intervals, stirring between.
For the Chicken / Cauliflower: Heat in an air fryer or oven at 375°F for 3–5 minutes, or until warmed through.
Or
Microwave at 50–70% power in 60 second intervals until warmed through.
Finish with Peri-Peri aioli.
Pad Kra Pao
Reheat rice and pork at 70% power in 60 second intervals, stirring in between.
Heat egg at 50% power separately for 30 seconds to preserve the soft yolk.
Linguine con pollo / tuscan ricotta linguine
Remove chicken from the top.
Reheat the pasta in a cold nonstick pan with a splash of water or cream on medium low heat, stirring frequently, until steaming. Alternatively heat in the microwave loosely covered with a splash of water or cream at 50% power in 60 second intervals, stirring between rounds.
For the Chicken: Heat at 50% power in the microwave in 60 second intervals until just warmed through to preserve the juiciness we work so hard to achieve.
Smoked Brisket Mac / Mac & Cheese
Remove brisket from the top.
Reheat the pasta in a cold nonstick pan with a splash of water or cream on medium low heat, stirring frequently, until steaming. Alternatively heat in the microwave loosely covered with a splash of water or cream at 50% power in 60 second intervals, stirring between rounds.
For the Brisket: Heat at 50% power in 30 second intervals until warmed through.
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.
