I find it best to defrost the meals either in the fridge the day before or by using the defrost setting on the microwave before cooking.

Basic Method

• Use the Defrost setting (or 30% power if your microwave doesn’t have one).
• Heat in 2–3 minute intervals.
• Flip, stir, or break apart pieces between intervals.
• Repeat until thawed but not hot.

General Timing

• Single portions: 4–7 minutes total
• Larger portions: 8–12 minutes total
• Soups/saucy dishes: Stir every 2 minutes to keep edges from cooking

Tips

• If edges start to cook, drop to 20% power and continue.
• Once thawed, switch to regular reheating instructions
