Reheating guide

Our containers are compostable and microwave-safe, but we recommend transferring to a plate for best results.

Entrees

  • Microwave: Lid off, heat 90 sec–3 min, stirring halfway, until hot throughout.
  • Stovetop: Medium-low with a splash of water or olive oil, 5–7 min, until steaming.
  • Oven: Transfer to a baking dish, cover with foil, 350°F for 10–15 min.
  • Stuffed squash and enchiladas work best in the oven.
  • Add sauces and garnishes after heating.

Salad

  • Best enjoyed cold.
  • Dressing may thicken when chilled — let it sit at room temperature 5–10 min, then shake well.
  • Add dressing and crunchy toppings just before eating.
  • Want warm protein? Remove it from the greens and reheat separately (microwave 30–60 sec, or flash-sear 2–3 min), then place it back on the cold greens.

Noodle & Grain Bowls

  • Cold: Toss with dressing and enjoy as-is.
  • Warm: Remove fresh herbs, garnishes, and cold dressings first. Microwave 60–90 sec, or warm in a skillet with a splash of water, 3–5 min. Add sauce after heating.

Breakfast

  • Overnight oats, parfaits, and chia puddings are designed to be enjoyed cold. Stir well before eating.
  • Prefer it warm? Microwave 30–90 sec on medium power, or warm gently on the stovetop with a splash of coconut milk.
  • Add granola and crunchy toppings after heating.
  • Frozen items: thaw at room temp 20 min before serving.

Desserts & Treats

  • Chilled: Best straight from the fridge for ideal texture.
  • Softer: Room temp 5–15 min, or microwave 10–15 sec.

Storage & Freshness

  • Meals & salads: Enjoy within 3–5 days.
  • Breakfast items: 3–6 days refrigerated.
  • Treats: 5–7 days refrigerated, up to 1 month frozen. Store in an airtight container.

Before you reheat anything

  • Take the lid off. No bioplastic lid goes in the microwave or the oven.
  • If reheating on stovetop/oven, please transfer to proper pan/dish/baking sheet first
  • Pull out any sauce cups, dressings, and garnishes before heating. Set them aside and add them back on top after.
  • For best results, transfer to a plate.
