All About Food
Q. What is the best way to defrost my meals?
A. To best way to properly defrost any frozen food is to store it in your refrigerator for 24 - 48 hours so it can thoroughly defrost. Defrosting food by leaving it on the kitchen counter at room temperature has the advantage of speed, but it also has the disadvantage of allowing for bacteria and spoilage, so we do not recommend this method. We do not recommend defrosting in the microwave, but this is only second-best and should be done with care. Over-microwaving can cause the edges of the food to overcook.
Most meals can cook just a bit longer if they're frozen or partially frozen. Cooking instructions are printed on the food labels.
Q. How long can a thawed meal stay in the refrigerator?
A. Completely thawed meals can be stored for up to two days. Seafood dishes should be stored in the refrigerator no longer than 24 hours before cooking.
Q. How long can a meal stay frozen?
A. We recommend no longer than 4 months.
Q. Do meals come with side dishes?
A. We are working on that. If you have suggestions, we would be happy to listen.

A. Yes. We provide nutritional information for most of our meals which can be found on our Web site.
