Heating Instructions

VERY IMPORTANT: Take all the food out of the refrigerator 3 hours before you plan to eat to allow food to come up to room temperature.  Leave food on a rack to allow circulation so the food can come up to room temperature. Leaving the food directly on a counter will keep the food cold and not allow it to come up to room temperature

Turn the oven to 350 1/2 hour before u plan to eat
