To prepare, simply remove the outer packaging. Pierce the film lid several times to allow steam to escape during heating. Place the meal on a microwaveable plate and heat on full power for the time indicated on the packaging, usually around 3-4 minutes, stirring halfway through. Allow to stand for one minute before carefully peeling back the film and serving. Ensure the food is piping hot before consuming.
