reheat guide

general rules

  • loosely cover with a damp paper towel when microwaving to retain moisture

  • stir or flip halfway through reheating

  • add a splash of water, broth, or sauce if something looks dry

  • for items meant to be cripsy or toasted (fries, some sammies, bread, etc.) always reheat in oven at 350

  • if dishes have specific reheat instructions, they will be shared with you directly (the below are good catch-alls for most dishes)

  • when in doubt: reheat gently — you can always add more time!
