To prepare, remove the outer packaging. If using a microwave, vent the film or cut a slit in it. Heat on high power according to the package directions, usually for a few minutes, until thoroughly heated. For oven preparation, remove the film and place the tray on a baking sheet in a preheated oven. Cook until heated through, again following the specific instructions on the packaging. Stirring halfway through microwave cooking can help ensure even heating. Allow to stand for a minute before enjoying.
