Heating Instructions

Thank you for choosing McCaffrey's Catering. We hope you enjoy the delicious food our chefs have prepared for you, your friends, and your family.

Quick Heating & Safety Guide:

* Bakeware: Items delivered in white & black trays with plastic covering are not oven safe. Please remove the items and transfer them to an aluminum pan or another oven-safe dish before heating.

* Bring Items to Room Temperature: Let refrigerated items sit before reheating for more even heating.

* Oven Recommended: Microwave reheating is not recommended. Use an oven or toaster oven. Cover food with foil or lid that comes with item to prevent overbrowning. Spread bulk items in a single layer on pan or dish. When heating multiple items together in the oven, cook at 350 degrees, add cooking time, and continually check for doneness.

* Check Temperature: Reheated food should reach 165°F (74°C). Use a stemmed thermometer. Consume all food items within 2 hours of removing them from the oven.

* Storage: Keep leftovers covered and refrigerated at 41°F (5°C) or below. Eat within 2 days.
