This is a quick reference for baking and reheating directions for those who have purchased our packaged Complete Thanksgiving Dinner. A direction sheet should have been given to you, along with all the deliciously prepared and neatly packaged food. This post is for “just in case” the directions have been lost. We recommend beginning this reheating process about an hour ahead of the time you plan to eat.
CHEF’S NOTE: Food maybe reheated in containers they were packaged in. If you so desire, we recommend transferring the heated food items to your own plates, platters and bowls. Garnishing your dishes is a nice finishing touch, that adds greatly to their visual appeal. This can be accomplished with a simple sprig of parsley, a sliced & twisted orange,You might get some easy ideas for this from the pictures contained herein. Remember…people first “eat” with their eyes, and second with their mouths.
Reheating times are estimates, and may need to be varied, depending on your oven. If you heat the items in order and according to these directions, they should all be ready at approximately the same time. Ding! the dinner bell & enjoy!

Pies
If desired, our fruit pies can be warmed in the oven, and served a la mode with good quality vanilla ice cream. Custard pies should be kept refrigerated until ready to serve. If you choose to warm your pie(s), cover loosely with foil and bake in 300 °F oven for about 20 minutes. Foil is used in this instance to avoid over-browning your crust, but is optional.
