Convenience Food Guide
1. Most convenience foods can be reheated by microwave only, since they are already cooked. Always use microwave-safe cookware. For foods
needing browning or crisping, conventional baking is recommended.
2. Remove food from foil containers over 3/4-in. high.
3. To cook more than one package, add times together.
