Reheating Guide — Week Four

Before You Begin

Sauces & gravies travel separately: warm gently and spoon over just before serving; never overheat.
Salads, dressings & fresh fruit stay cold: cole slaw, potato & pasta salad, chicken salad, ranch, Caesar and Dijon are served chilled — do not heat.
Bread, wraps & buns are packed untoasted: warm or toast fresh, and fill just before serving.
Keep it moist: add a splash of water or stock and cover when microwaving; warm proteins gently and briefly.
Food safety: heat proteins until steaming hot throughout (165°F); enjoy within the use-by date on each container.
