Easter Heating Instructions

Reheating Instructions for Freebird Market’s Ready-to-Eat Food

Thank you for purchasing our ready-to-eat products! To help you enjoy our food at its best, please follow these reheating instructions. Remember, all foods should be reheated to an internal temperature of 60°C (140°F) for safe consumption. All of our food items are fully cooked. 

Soups

  1. Empty into a pot: Pour the soup into a saucepan or pot 
  2. Reheat on the stove: Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it reaches your desired temperature

Alternative: Soups can also be microwaved. Pour the soup into a microwave-safe container, cover loosely, and heat in 1-minute increments, stirring between each interval until heated through

Prepared Meals (in Oven-Safe Containers)

  1. Remove plastic covering: Carefully take off any plastic film or covering 
  2. Reheat in the oven: 
  • Directly in the container: Place the container in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven. For added stability, place the container on a sheet pan as it may become flexible when heated 
  • Cover with foil: For a more gentle reheating, cover the container with aluminum foil to retain moisture 
  1. Alternative methods:
  • Transfer to your own oven-safe container: Empty the contents into your own dish if you prefer

Microwave option: Most of our containers are microwave- safe. Remove any foil, then microwave in 1-2 minute intervals, stirring between each until heated evenly

Prepared Meals (in Foil Containers)

  1. Reheat in the oven:
  • Place the foil container directly in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven
  • Heat uncovered until warmed through 
  1. Do not use foil containers in the microwave

Frozen Products

Some of our frozen items, such as lasagna and pizza, come with specific reheating instructions on their packaging. Please refer to these instructions for best results. General guidelines include:

  1. Lasagna: 
  • Keep frozen until ready to use
  • Remove plastic covering and reheat in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven, covered with foil for the first 30-40 minutes. Then uncover and continue heating until bubbly and hot throughout. Times will vary depending on the size of lasagna. Large can take well over 1.5 hours 
  1. Pizza:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C)
  • Place the frozen pizza directly on the oven rack or a pizza stone
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted 

General Tips

  • Always check the internal temperature of reheated foods to ensure they reach minimum of 60°C (140°F) or higher
  • For crispier textures, avoid microwaving and opt for oven reheating when possible
  • Avoid leaving food out at room temperature for prolonged periods before or after reheating
  • Adjust reheating times based on your ovens or microwaves performance and the portion size being reheated

If you have any questions about reheating our products, please do not hesitate to contact us. Enjoy your meal!
