Food Preparation and Heating Guidelines

Suggested Heating & Cooking Instructions

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

Heating Instructions for Prepared Trays

All prepared entrees require a pre-heated oven temperature of 350 degrees. All entrees that have a cheese topping such as baked ziti, 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 40 minutes for a half size pan, 45-50 minutes for a full size pan. Check center for consistency. Cooking time for convection ovens will vary. It is recommended that the tray be taken out of the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to heating.
