These can be defrosted and reheated in the microwave oven, if recommended by the manufacturer.

Remove the lid and make sure the foil dish is at least 2 cm from the oven walls at all times.

As food is only heated from the top, it is better to remove the food from the aluminium foil container and transfer it to a dish suitable for a microwave oven. The heat distribution will be more even.
