Meal Storage & Reheating Guide

🍽️ Nuthera Meal Storage & Reheating Guide

Our meals are designed for fresh consumption, but if you need to store them for later, follow these best practices for safe storage and optimal taste.

🌡️ Storage Guidelines

1️⃣ Same-Day Consumption (Recommended)

  • Keep refrigerated (1-4°C) until ready to eat.
  • Best consumed within the day intended for peak freshness and texture.

2️⃣ Short-Term Storage (Up to 1-3 Days, may not apply to some meals)

  • Store in the fridge (1-4°C)  in its original container.
  • Keep meals tightly sealed to maintain quality.

3️⃣ Freezing (Up to 2 Weeks)

  • Transfer meals to an airtight, freezer-safe container (our packaging is not freezer-friendly).
  • Best for freezing: Proteins, soups, and sauces.
  • ⚠️ Not recommended for freezing: Fresh vegetables, salads, and dairy-based meals (may become soggy or separate).
  • Label meals with the freeze date for easy tracking.

🔥 Reheating Instructions

Microwave (Best for Convenience)

  • Transfer meal to a microwave-safe plate.
  • Cover lightly to prevent drying out.
  • Heat on medium power for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway.
  • Ensure food is piping hot throughout before consuming.

Stovetop (Best for Stir-Fries & Sauces)

  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
  • Add a splash of water or oil to prevent drying.
  • Stir occasionally and heat for 3-5 minutes.

Oven (Best for Baked Dishes & Proteins)

  • Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F).
  • Transfer food to an oven-safe dish and cover with foil. 
  • Heat for 10-15 minutes or until warmed through.

⚠️ What NOT to Do

  • 🚫 Do not refreeze meals after thawing – affects taste and safety.
  • 🚫 Do not overheat in the microwave – can cause dryness or texture changes.
  • 🚫 Do not leave meals at room temperature for more than 4 hours – risk of spoilage.

📌 Quick Tips for Best Results

  • ✅ For frozen meals: Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
  • ✅ For dry meals: Add a splash of water or broth while reheating.
  • ✅ For crispy textures: Use an oven or air fryer instead of a microwave.
