Cooking Instructions
We know some of our products may be daunting for the uninitiated, so we've included some helping cooking tips and instructions for some of our products below:
All of our in-house made Soups, Sauces, Dips, etc. are packaged in Heat Resistant bags that can be heated/warmed in the bag as preferred.
Once thawed, the entire bag can be placed in a pot of boiling water or heated up in the microwave.
Alternatively, once thawed, they can be emptied into a crock pot for events or get-togethers.
These heat-and-serve meals were developed with convenience in mind!
