Heating & Cooking Guidelines

When heating any of the Swift Fine Foods product range it is important to bear in mind that the product is cooked. All that is required is a Moderate Radiant Temperature which will gently penetrate the food to the required core temperature resulting in a perfect meal.

An overly high temperature can result in burning, scorching and stick-age which may taint food and even result in unnecessary wastage.

The optimum heating temperature is 150°C, in a fan assisted oven on combination setting (Dry Heat & Steam Mix)

Please Note:
All heating times are approximate
Ensure a minimum core temperature of 75°C is reached prior to serving.
Appliances differ in performances so heating times will vary

Top Tips
During the heating stage it is recommended to periodically shake sauce based dishes. This ensures good even heat distribution. Repeat this step again prior to serving.
Prior to serving, cut the clear film cover with a sharp knife. Then transfer your hot food into a warm dish and serve. For safety if pouring a sauce based recipe always pour away from you!
Probe all food products & ensure that a minimum core temperature of 75°C has been reached prior to serving.
