To prepare, remove the outer packaging and vent the film cover. Microwave on high for a specified time, usually around 4-5 minutes, or until heated through. For oven preparation, remove the film and heat at a lower temperature for a longer duration. Stir halfway through cooking to ensure even heating and distribution of the sauce. Let it stand for a moment before consuming to allow the flavors to meld and the temperature to stabilize.
