The Ecoware soup pots cannot be heated in the oven but are microwave safe. The bamboo food boxes are both microwave and oven friendly.
Instructions for each meal will be on the front sticker. Due to varying microwave wattages, some microwaves may require slightly more time to heat each meal.
Microwave:
Typically, single portions will need 2-3 mins on high, probe with a knife to ensure the centre is piping hot, if not, heat for longer.
For best results defrost the meals in the fridge overnight then microwave on high for 2-3 minutes.
If you are reheating from frozen, defrost in the microwave for 5 minutes then heat on high for 2-3 minutes.
Oven heating:
Place bamboo food box in the oven and fan bake at 150 degrees for 10-15mins. Or until piping hot in the middle. If you would prefer, transfer the meal to an oven safe dish for heating.
For food safety, always ensure your dish is piping hot in the centre and keep an eye on over-cooking as all appliances have their own quirks!
Fresh Meals: are designed to be eaten within six days of receiving. Please pop them in the fridge. If plans change and you haven’t eaten your meal within three days, then most can be frozen. Except the salads ... just get stuck in an eat it, its good for you! Or smoothie it😊
Baked Goods: please store in an airtight container in the pantry or loaves can be kept in the fridge. Muffins and loaves can all be frozen.
Baking Mixes: these will last for a few months in their packaging, however airtight glass jars always do the best job at keeping ingredients fresh.
Frozen Meals: can be kept up to three months in the freezer. All our meals are made fresh by hand in small batches, so please make sure you eat within three months of the best before date on the label when freezing.
Always remember to store your Sip Kitchen meals in the freezer at -18°C. For best taste results defrost them thoroughly in the fridge before heating.
Please do not re-freeze food once defrosted as the food will not be safe to eat.
Freeze fresh food down if it is not going to be eaten in time and only defrost what you need.
If the portion size looks too big for your hunger, only heat what you can eat and save the rest for tomorrows lunch.
Left over salad could be used in soup stocks, frittatas, vege fritters.
Left over soups make a great addition into hot sauces and casserole dishes.
