EATZI’S THANKSGIVING MENU

   

Heating Instructions

   

It is easy to heat and serve your Thanksgiving Feast from eatZi’s. 

Just follow the heating instructions so all of your dishes arrive at the table or buffet at the same time! 

Please note that oven temperatures vary, so please use these instructions as a guide to the best preparation for your oven.

   

          Preheat oven to 325°.

          Place the longest heating-time item in the oven first.  Add each dish to the oven as the time difference passes.  For example, if you are serving dinner at 5:00pm, put the Turkeyin at 3:45, the green beans in at 4:40, etc.  

          Lay out your serving bowls and platters so that you are ready to transfer the piping hot food as soon as it comes out of the oven.  The more dense foods will hold their temperature longer (mashed potatoes, stuffing, etc.) so place them in the serving dishes first.  Save plating the entrees and vegetables until last.

          Heat the rolls after you empty the oven and while you are transferring the food to serving dishes.

Notes:

     Most items are presented with a foil and paper lid. This lid is oven safe, but not suited for the microwave. If directed to heat “covered,” cover with aluminum foil if not lid is provided.

     As you add items to your oven, rotate items by shifting items currently in the oven to the front and place the new additions in the back of the oven.

     Avoid stacking items if at all possible.  If you must stack, be sure to rotate items so they are not “on top” for the entire heating process. 

     Keep oven door closed to maintain temperature.
