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.
