To prepare, this meal usually needs to be heated. Most packaging will provide instructions for either microwave or oven heating. For microwave heating, simply pierce the film and heat for the recommended time, stirring halfway through. If using an oven, transfer the contents to an oven-safe dish and heat until piping hot. Ensure the meal is thoroughly heated before consuming.
