Suggested Heating & Cooking Instructions

Since actual oven temperatures vary, we always suggest an oven thermometer be used.

Prepared Trays - Cooking Instructions - Grilling Instructions

All prepared entrees require a pre-heated oven temperature of 350 degrees.

All entrees that have a cheese topping such as baked ziti, lasagna, eggplant, and other parmigiana dishes, to name a few, should have a loosened lid to prevent melted cheese from sticking to it.

All other dishes can remain sealed. Heating time is 30-40 minutes for a half size pan, 40-50 minutes for a full size pan.

Check center for consistency.

It is recommended that the tray be taken out of the refrigerator 2 hours prior to heating.
