Reheating Instructions
GENERAL REHEATING INSTRUCTIONS
Your food has been fully cooked and simply needs to be reheated.
Most foods can be reheated in the oven at 350°F. Keep lids on pans while reheating to help retain moisture and ensure even heating. Remove lids only if browning or crisping is desired.
Heating times will vary depending on the density and quantity of food.
- Light foods such as spinach puffs, stuffed mushrooms, or mini crab cakes will usually take about 15–25 minutes.
- Medium-density foods such as chicken entrées, stuffed peppers, filet tips, roasted potatoes, or frittatas generally need 30–45 minutes.
- Heavier, denser foods like pasta dishes, mashed potatoes, or bread puddings may take 45 minutes to over an hour.
These times are approximate. When in doubt, check the temperature in the center of the pan with a food thermometer. State guidelines recommend reheating prepared foods to 165°F. If possible, stir items halfway through reheating to help speed up the process.
For sauces intended to be served hot, such as Peppercorn Gravy for the Panko Chicken, heat the sauce in a pan on the stovetop and pour it over the heated chicken just before serving.
