To prepare, simply remove the outer packaging. If microwaving, vent the film or remove it completely and heat on high for the recommended time, usually a few minutes, until thoroughly heated. Stirring halfway through can help ensure even heating. If heating in an oven, transfer the contents to an oven-safe dish and bake at a moderate temperature until hot. Be careful when handling the hot container after cooking.
