How to handle our meals

• Place meals in the refrigerator upon delivery
• Several of our meals may be frozen upon delivery 

If you’re not sure if you can freeze your meals, contact  eric@chefericcatering.com

We prepared your meals understanding that there will be a re-heating process.  Your meals are prepared to 90% doneness, then quickly cooled to stop the cooking process. This technique ensures when properly reheated your meals will be at optimum flavor, moisture level and proper doneness.  Re-heating instructions will be on every label.

Tips for using the Microwave to reheat

• Black bottomed containers can be microwaved 
• Do not microwave clear containers
• Microwave strengths can vary 
• Gently re-heat using the same care we did to prepare your meals 
• Do not set the microwave on high for 5 minutes and walk away
• Heat one container at a time
• Stir the ingredients several times during the re-heat process
• Use caution when removing from the microwave as the dish and contents will be hot

Tips for reheating in the oven or on the stove

• Remove the meal and its accompaniments from the delivery container
• Do not put any of our packaging in the oven.  They are not oven proof
• Containers can be cleaned and used to store leftovers
• Place contents of your meal in an oven proof dishes or pots
• Re-heat gently using the same care we did to prepare your meals 
• Stir several times through the reheating process 
• Covering your meal during the re-heating process will help retain moisture
