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.

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.
