MEALS ON WHEELS FROZEN ENTRÉE GUIDELINES


Delivery

Meals On Wheels offers a four-week rotating menu of Frozen Entrées ($4.50) in addition to our traditional Hot Meals and Supper Packs.

  • Frozen Entrées are available each weekday and are optional items.
  • You may order Frozen Entrées in addition to, or in place of, a Hot Meal delivery.
  • Each entrée is available for delivery only on the day indicated.

You may want to order frozen entrées on an ongoing or occasional basis to accommodate:

  • evening or weekend meals;
  • days when you cannot be home for a hot meal delivery;
  • statutory holidays when delivery is not available;
  • snow days when weather may prevent volunteers from delivering.

**Changes or cancellations must be made before noon, the business day prior to delivery**


Re-heating frozen entrées

Conventional Oven and Toaster Oven: Preheat oven to 375 F. Take lid off, cover with tin foil and place in oven for 20-25 minutes.

Microwave: Take lid off, cover with paper towel to prevent splatters. Centre tray in oven, away from walls. Microwave, HIGH 4-6 minutes. Please recycle with your household items.

NOTES:

  • If thawed first, decrease time by at least half.
  • Re-heating instructions are meant to be general guidelines only. Actual reheating times may vary.
  • It is better to underheat than to overheat. Try reheating foods with a reduced time and add more cooking time if required.
  • DO NOT re-freeze thawed meals.
  • For best results, meals should be eaten by the Best Before Date indicated on the lid.
