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 400°F for 4–6 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 50-70% 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.

For the best dining experience, we recommend heating proteins separately from the starch and vegetable components whenever possible.
Heat the base at 70% power for 1–1.5 minutes, or until warmed through.
Heat the protein separately at 50% power in 30-second bursts, rotating between each interval, until just warmed through.
This gentle approach helps preserve the texture and juiciness of delicate proteins such as our perfectly cooked chicken, steak and salmon while ensuring the accompanying components are properly heated.
